Pakistan Floods Relief Appeal (launched 13/9/2022) – by APNA NHS **UPDATE 16.1.23**
Thank you to everyone who helped raise funds, for the flood relief efforts in Pakistan, last Friday (13/01/23) at the APNA NHS Awards Evening through the raffle, auction and book signing "The Race To The Top" sale's proceeds generously donated by Nazir Afzal. On the evening we managed to raise just over £2,700 with more trickling in...a HUGE THANK YOU.
Every single £ donated makes a huge impact in the flood hit communities in Pakistan - you are making a difference.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will have witnessed the distressing scenes caused by the floods in Pakistan. We know that around 33 million people have been affected and displaced, with almost 2,000 reported deaths to date and more than 500,000 people living in relief camps across the country – many are not so fortunate. Furthermore, there are thousands of homes, livelihoods, livestock being destroyed; many public health facilities, water systems, and schools have also been destroyed or damaged. The damage caused will take many years to restore and rebuild.
The devastation caused by these floods are upsetting as the situation has impacted many family members, loved ones and friends who are living amidst this crisis.
APNA NHS has selected 6 UK registered charities that are already providing direct support on the ground to those in need in Pakistan. These charities represent a cross section of aid agencies working within Pakistan reaching different devastated communities who will immediately benefit from the donations you make. To find out more about each of the charities please click on the logos above.
We thank you for your support at this time of need.
