Donate Today!
Thanks to your generous support, we have been able to meet our financial goal! This has allowed our partners to provide urgent aid to many communities in Pakistan.
Any future donations from this page will now go towards the general Emergency Relief fund, so that Anglican Aid is well equipped to support our partners in their time of need, without any delay.
The Punjab region of Pakistan has been hit by the worst monsoon flooding in nearly four decades. More than 2,000 villages have been inundated, affecting over 5 million people across the province. Around 1.9 million have been evacuated, and more than 1.05 million acres of farmland have been flooded. In Punjab, the disaster has already claimed 260 lives (including 98 children) and left 660 injured. Nationwide, more than 900 people have been killed by this year’s monsoon.
Anglican Aid’s partner in Pakistan 1toAnother, has requested our help to provide emergency aid for people in desperate need.
After visiting Muzaffargarh in Punjab recently, 1toAnother’s Haroon Younis said:

“The situation there is extremely severe—the entire village is under water. Most families have left and are temporarily staying on the roadside or on higher ground, while others remain stranded on small, raised mounds . . . In Punjab, thousands are stranded across multiple districts.”
