Help Flood Victims in Sindh, Pakistan

Appeal for Donations
UN declares that “the floods in Pakistan are worse than the 2004
tsunami". Massive floods in Pakistan during August have created
unprecedented damage to all the peoples of Pakistan. UN estimates
that 14 million people are affected by this natural disaster, and the
worst repercussions of the flooding are yet to come. Public health
officials anticipate a higher death toll due to diseases associated
with environmental disasters, such as malaria and diarrhea, to which
children are the most vulnerable.

The famine and devastation at the lack of food and the total destruction of infrastructure will persist
far longer than the actual flood. The province of Sindh, situated at a lower riparian of the Indus River and possessing the worst poverty index in the region is especially in dire need of relief.

On behalf of Sindhi Association of North America (SANA), we appeal to you to send your donations. Your donations will be disbursed to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working in the area for rehabilitation projects. A 100% of the donations will be given to affected people directly.
