APPEAL FOR PAKISTAN FLOOD RELIEF -

Canadian Government Matching Individual Donations to PWS&D

Severe monsoon rains and widespread flooding in Pakistan have affected the homes and livelihoods of over 20 million people—more than the Tsunami, Kashmir earthquake and Haiti earthquake combined. With a fifth of the country under water, millions of people are at risk for cholera and struggle for basic survival.

PWS&D RESPONDS

 Presbyterian World Service & Development is assisting flood victims through the Canadian Foodgrains Bank and the Action by Churches Together Alliance to provide food, shelter, emergency supplies and medical care for over 150,000 of the most affected people in the provinces of Balochistan, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (North West Frontier Province and Swat Valley).

 CANADIAN GOVERNMENT MATCHING DONATIONS

 The Canadian International Development Agency is matching donations from individual Canadians from August 2 – September 12, 2010.

For congregations sending PWS&D one cheque for the sum of all the donations they have collected for Pakistan Flood Relief, please include a letter identifying the names and amounts of individual donations that make up the total. This will ensure these funds are eligible for matching in the government’s Pakistan Floods Relief Fund.

 YOUR HELP IS NEEDED

 The people of Pakistan need your prayers and financial support to recover and rebuild from this disaster. You can make a donation to PWS&D by calling 1-800-619-7301 ext. 291, donating online, through your church or mailing a cheque to the office. Please mark all donations “Pakistan Flood Relief.”

Canadian Government to Match Pakistan Flood Donations

In response to the devastating destruction caused by Pakistan’s floods, the Canadian Government will be matching donations made by individual Canadians to registered Canadian charitable organizations – including PWS&D – for flood relief efforts from August 2 until September 12, 2010.

“The Government of Canada will use the Pakistan Floods Relief Fund to provide assistance through experienced Canadian and international humanitarian and development organizations with significant in-country capacity, as per established channels and procedures” (CIDA press release). As such, your financial support at this time will make twice as many funds available for the affected families in Pakistan.

Your donation to PWS&D will support the distribution of food, shelter, emergency supplies and medical care for over 150,000 of the most affected people in the provinces of Balochistan, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (North West Frontier Province and Swat Valley).

 Congregations can send PWS&D one cheque for the sum of all the donations they have collected for Pakistan flood relief, along with a letter identifying the names and amounts of the individual donations that make up the total. This will ensure these funds are eligible for matching in the Pakistan Floods Relief Fund.

 You Can Help – The people of Pakistan need your prayers and financial support to recover and rebuild from this disaster. You can make a donation to PWS&D by calling 1-800-619-7301 ext. 291, donating online, through your church or mailing a cheque to the office. Please mark all donations “Pakistan Flood Relief.”

Building Futures of Hope Around the World

For more than 60 years, our church has been actively working to support people around the world affected by poverty, emergencies and injustice through Presbyterian World Service & Development. Over the last year, the generous support of Presbyterians in Canada has helped raise an incredible $1.5 million for relief work in Haiti, install 9 shallow wells in northern Tanzania, provide 8,000 mothers in Malawi with antenatal care, decrease malnutrition among hundreds of poor families in Nicaragua and send over 1,300 girls to school in Afghanistan. Thank you for sharing in these achievements.
