The UN has estimated that more than 33 million people have been affected by the devastating floods in Pakistan. With the heaviest recorded rainfall in a decade, it’s reported that more than a third of the country has now been completely submerged. 1 million homes have been destroyed and food security has been badly affected - leaving 1 in 7 vulnerable and in desperate need.
Our registered churches and charities have teams working on the ground to assist, encourage and provide gospel hope for those affected, but they need your support.
If you would like to give financially, here are a selection of frontline charities to support:
YWAM
YWAM have teams on the ground and are serving refugees and marginalised communities who are the victims of recent flooding.
‘They call us every day for help. They urgently need food, clothing, water purifiers, bedding, transport, shelter and cash donations for families. Prices rise everyday and they are now destitute’.
YWAM’s long term aim is to resettle these families so they can start their own businesses in a safer areas of the country. Please pray for these believers, they are in need of immediate and long term assistance.
