APPEAL FLOOD DONATION/CONTRIBUTION

For Taluka Mehar District Dadu, Taluka Dokri District Larkana

Background:

Unprecedented monsoon rains in Pakistan have triggered a massive humanitarian crisis that have threatened the lives & well-being of millions of people in the flood waters’ path, particularly villagers & residents of KACHA (Riverine) areas of Sindh, claiming over 850 lives and affecting nearly 8 million people. These floods are recorded as being the worst to ravage Sindh in 100 years. Roads & farms are sub-merged in water, putting estimated relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction costs Billions of Rupees. Those entrapped & displaced are suffering acutely due to shortage of Boats, Shelters, Food & Clean Water. Water flow from Sukkur to down stream crossing Larkana affected Taluka Dokri (Larkana) & Taluka Mehar (Dadu) which are interlinked with each other.

More Than 100 villages situated in KACHO area of Mehar & Dokri,100,000 population of the area badly affected by the flood. Relief Camps arranged by the Government are only sixty (i,e Government Buildings of Primary, Middle & High Schools) having capacity not more than 20,000 IDPs. Remaining population is looking for urgent Shelter who are sitting under the open sky near “LS Protective Band (Dam)”.

This is an hour we all (Individuals, Organizations & Civil Society Activists) must come together and show our wholehearted support for flood survivors. It’s the human suffering that stares on in the face-collapsed houses, desperate faces, people running after relief materials, scores of families sitting without shelter, food, water, medicine & Clothes. Government arrangements are having so many lacking to cover the affectees. So our NGO Team intends to support such gaps to cover all the affectees without discrimination specially women, children, sick people and old age people.

Your support/contribution will be reached at victims with full transparency and responsibility. We welcome the visits & bound to send updates through emails time to time to everyone who supported.
