JS Bank, one of Pakistan's fastest-growing banks, has set up mobile clinics and daily food-ration distribution drives catering to thousands of people in flood-impacted areas in southern Pakistan.

JS Bank has joined hands with partners such as the Sindhi Association of North America (SANA) to ease the difficulties being faced by people in the rain-affected areas through a team of qualified doctors, paramedic staff, and volunteers led by Jamil Memon, Head of Admin & CSR, JS Bank.

Efforts are taking place in Districts Jamshoro (Sehwan), Dadu and Larkana, which are the worst impacted within the Sindh province, along with surrounding areas. The outreach of this program will be 20,000+ people and is expected to grow as the efforts are expanded to further areas. 

Basir Shamsie, President and CEO of JS Bank, personally visited the camps to review the efforts of the JS Flood Relief team.
