The health and well-being of our staff is of paramount importance to us! WELDO has allocated 40 minutes of paid staff time to work out keeping in mind that the health and well-being of our staff is important to us and also keeping in mind that given the office and family obligations some staff members could be having difficulty allocating time to workout activities. Being a health-conscious organization WELDO has also provided its staff with Blood Pressure monitoring device and health apps to keep an eye out on their well-being.

Flash floods sweep through Pakistan
Climate change has brought devastating consequences for Pakistan. Over 33 million people have been affected, nearly 1 million homes have been destroyed or damaged, and more than 1,700 people have died by the recent devastating floods and extreme rainfall . Majority of country’s agricultural lands have been flooded, destroying crops, killing livestock, threatening the country’s food supply and impacting livelihood of millions of households. Women and children are especially vulnerable in this situation as many are living under the open skies, waiting for help. Shelter, clean drinking water and food are among the most urgently needed items in the aftermath of the floods. Just life saving activities will cost US$ 160.3 million. Although we see a number of rehabilitation activities been done by concerned citizens but the world needs to do more specially with the rehabilitation of those effected and to stop global warming.
