Building the resilience of people to disasters

There was no dedicated institution in Pakistan to provide common people with training in the integrated fields of disaster prevention and preparedness. To fill this gap, Pakistan Relief took another extraordinary initiative by laying down the foundation of PRIDEA- Pakistan Relief International Disaster Education Academy. Disasters can strike anytime and anywhere. We must improve our skills and build our capacities. We call upon you to join Pakistan Relief and enroll in our short courses.

“Wise men dig wells before, not after a blaze. “

Success of PRIDEA has been assured though education of its trainers at several high ranking European institutions, such as Heidelberg University, St. John Ambulance- Die Johanniter Academy (Muenster, Germany). Several Pakistan Relief instructors at PRIDEA have been certified by these esteemed organizations. To disseminate their knowledge and build the resilience of our nation to disasters, we are focusing our training in the following fields:

First Aid
Human Survival
Search & Rescue
Emergency Radio Communication
Disaster Management
Logistics
K-9, Rescue Dogs
