APPEAL FOR PAKISTAN FLOOD RELIEF -
Canadian Government Matching Individual Donations to PWS&D
Severe monsoon rains and widespread flooding in Pakistan have affected the homes and livelihoods of over 20 million people—more than the Tsunami, Kashmir earthquake and Haiti earthquake combined. With a fifth of the country under water, millions of people are at risk for cholera and struggle for basic survival.
PWS&D RESPONDS
Presbyterian World Service & Development is assisting flood victims through the Canadian Foodgrains Bank and the Action by Churches Together Alliance to provide food, shelter, emergency supplies and medical care for over 150,000 of the most affected people in the provinces of Balochistan, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (North West Frontier Province and Swat Valley).
CANADIAN GOVERNMENT MATCHING DONATIONS
The Canadian International Development Agency is matching donations from individual Canadians from August 2 – September 12, 2010.
For congregations sending PWS&D one cheque for the sum of all the donations they have collected for Pakistan Flood Relief, please include a letter identifying the names and amounts of individual donations that make up the total. This will ensure these funds are eligible for matching in the government’s Pakistan Floods Relief Fund.
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED
The people of Pakistan need your prayers and financial support to recover and rebuild from this disaster. You can make a donation to PWS&D by calling 1-800-619-7301 ext. 291, donating online, through your church or mailing a cheque to the office. Please mark all donations “Pakistan Flood Relief.”
