Islamabad- May 5, 2025: In a remarkable show of environmental stewardship, the Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS) in collaboration with the German Red Cross organised a Plantation and Cleanliness Drive at F-9 Park, Islamabad. The initiative is part of a weeklong World Red Cross and Red Crescent week celebrations under this year’s global theme ‘On the Side of Humanity’.
The event brought together students from various schools, volunteers, PRCS staff members and movement partners including the International Federation of Red Cross (IFRC) and German Red Cross, all united in their commitment to a cleaner and greener Pakistan. Participants actively planted trees and engaged in a thorough cleanliness campaign across designated areas of the park, promoting both ecological balance and community responsibility.
