Immediately after the devastating earthquake on 8^th October 2005 in Pakistan, the World Memon Organisation, Pakistan Chapter in association with All Pakistan Memon Federation started the relief work in the affected areas by providing food, medicines, tents, clothes, cash, etc.

A medical camp was setup in association with All Pakistan Memon Federation and Patel Hospital at H-11, Islamabad.

After the emergency relief work, it was thought appropriate to carry out Rehabilitation Project for Earthquake Victims. Houses with tin-roofs and hollow cement blocks are being constructed with the help of the local people. The total cost of one such house is Rs.100,000 (US $1670 ) out of which 70% of the cost is being financed by World Memon Organisation, Pakistan Chapter and 30% is paid by the local people.

165 houses have already been constructed out of which 70 houses have been built in Thala (Birot – situated at 7000 feet above sea level) and 60 houses have been built in Shanghreri (10,500 feet above sea level). And 35 houses have been constructed in Kala-Dacca (Tha Kot – 7500 feet above sea level). Ten houses are under construction in Shanghreri. We intend to construct another 115 houses in the earthquake affected areas.
