Help for Pakistan

October 27, 2011

In 2010, many areas of Pakistan suffered their worst flooding in decades. At that time, we were able to send a total of £18,000 through Tearfund and Blythswood Care to help the relief effort.

In August, many communities in the Sindh province of Pakistan were, once again, suffering severe floods, with thousands of villages in the Mirpurkhas and Sadin area inundated by the flooding. Thousands were made homeless and had lost their land. Tearfund’s Country Representative for Pakistan reported that: “Houses have been knocked down and crops ruined again. People are, once again, running to safety.”

In response, we have been able to send £5,000 from the Free Church Disaster & Relief Fund to Tearfund, who have a partner organisation working in the areas affected.
