How To Donate For Flood Victims In Pakistan
Posted on Aug 23, 2010 under General | No CommentFlooding began in Pakistan in July 2010 caused by monsoon rains affecting the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Punjab as well as parts of Baluchistan. It is thought that at least 2000 people have been killed and over 20 million are now destitute and suffering. Please don’t as much as you can for the brothers and sisters effected by the flood. Please lend a hand to those in need. Your donations could make the lives of many Pakistanis better. As the Qur’an says:
“Whosoever kills a human being, except (as punishment) for murder or for spreading corruption in the land, it shall be like killing all humanity; and whosoever saves a life, saves the entire human race.” (Al Qur’an 5:32)
You can also donate on-line to ”The People’s Disaster Management Authority (TPDMA)“. Follow Nuzhat S. Siddiqui on twitter who is one of the volunteers heading these efforts. You can further contact them via e-mail:
nuzhat@tpdma.org | soufia@tpdma.org | aftab@tpdma.org
