Pakistan Recovery Fund

The recovery process was scheduled to run for two years, a period which was deemed sufficiently long to curb the hardship resulting from the disaster.

History

The fund was one of a number of charitable initiatives under the auspices of the Prince's Charities group: The Prince's Charities
