Harvest Charity 26th September
|
The Elders had thoughts that this year we should support a charity nearer to home in this country. ***Emergency appeal for flood-affected people in Pakistan*** IMPACT has launched a crisis appeal for victims of the flooding in Pakistan, which has devastated the lives of more than 20million people. IMPACT Pakistan, ( IMPACT FOUNDATION’s long-standing partner), is on the ground in the worst-hit area of Nowshera, where the situation is harrowing. In the makeshift camp in which they are working, the stench of dead animals is overwhelming and survivors of the disaster have no food, drinking water, or shelter. Urgent intervention is needed to protect lives and prevent the spread of disease. With your help we can immediately provide tents, food and drinking water to the men, women and children who have lost everything. It costs just £65 to provide a family of five with shelter, and clean water and food for 50 days. IMPACT’s real strength is that they have trusted local people on the ground,who can act quickly and ensure that help is delivered directly to the people who need it. Our usual stringent monitoring procedures will apply so you can be sure your gift will be put to very good use. The Elders hope you will agree with them and support this very worthy cause. |
Since the terrible floods in Pakistan, and there being so many people and children suffering so badly we felt that our support should go to Pakistan where the need is so urgent.
