# Emergency Floods & Earthquake Appeal > Source: World Aid Network — https://worldaidnetwork.org/appeal/emergency-floods > Last reviewed: 2026-08-15 ## In short Please donate to the Emergency Floods and Earthquake Appeal so we can get food, clean water and shelter to families in Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia. Give by card on this page. Your gift becomes a meal, a drink and a dry place to sleep after the waters rise or the ground shakes. Please donate so food, water and shelter are ready when floods or earthquakes hit. Please donate at https://worldaidnetwork.org/appeal/emergency-floods ## At a glance - 48–72 hrs: How quickly partners aim to start delivering help - 3 countries: Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia — our Object countries - Food, water, shelter: What this appeal is restricted to - Standing fund: Ready before the next monsoon or quake, not after the cameras arrive ## What is the Emergency Floods and Earthquake Appeal? This appeal keeps a standing fund so local partners can deliver food, clean water and shelter after floods and earthquakes in Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia. Please donate today. We do not wait to launch a new campaign from scratch while families sleep in the wet. When the waters rise or the ground shakes, a family can lose everything that keeps them alive before breakfast: the roof over the children’s beds, the well in the yard, the rice that was meant to last the week. They run with what they can carry. Then they wait. That wait is where your donation matters. Please give to the Emergency Floods and Earthquake Appeal. Monsoon flooding returns every year. Earthquakes do not send a fundraising calendar. A standing fund means kits can move when a national disaster agency declares an emergency — Pakistan’s NDMA, Indonesia’s BNPB or Malaysia’s NADMA. You do not have to travel. You do not have to pack a box. The most useful thing you can do tonight is donate. A gift of £10 can cover drinking water for a family for a week. £25 can cover an emergency food parcel. £50 can help with a shelter kit. Please give what you can. ## Why do families need help after floods and earthquakes? Homes, wells and food stores are destroyed in hours. Children need clean water. Parents need something to cook. Older people need a dry place to sleep. Please donate so those first things are already funded. The cameras leave. The need does not. Pakistan’s monsoon can put millions of people on the move in a bad year. Indonesia’s islands flood and shake. Malaysia’s east coast floods in the northeast monsoon. After a quake, people sleep outside because they are afraid the roof will fall. After a flood, the well is spoiled. A family that had rice for the week may have nothing by nightfall. Dirty water then brings disease. Hunger follows a ruined harvest. Shelter is how a child sleeps without rain on their face. Please donate to this standing fund so partners can answer without waiting for a new headline. Please do not wait for the next monsoon photograph. Give now to the Emergency Floods Appeal so a family already displaced is not left thirsty while the world organises a response. ## How can I donate to the emergency floods appeal? Please give on this page by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Your donation to the Emergency Floods Appeal becomes food, water and shelter. A monthly gift means the next monsoon is not a scramble. Give the amount that feels right for you. Use the form beside this appeal, or open the donate page and choose emergency relief. Keep this appeal selected. That gift is your donation to the Emergency Floods and Earthquake Appeal. If you can, give every month. Floods and quakes do not wait for a fundraising drive. A regular gift means partners can keep kits ready. A one-off gift still matters. Please give today. If your mosque, church, workplace or friends are collecting, gather what you can and donate it here. Please do not send clothes from the UK unless a partner has asked in writing. Parcels arrive late. Local buying is faster. ## Why does one appeal cover floods and earthquakes? Families need the same first things after both: something to eat, safe water, and a dry place to sleep. Please donate to this standing fund so partners can answer either disaster without waiting. Winter then becomes a second threat for people still in tents. A coastal quake can bring a wave as well as a cracked wall. A flood can last weeks after the rain stops. One appeal for food, water and shelter means trustees can release funds to whichever Object country has the declared emergency. This appeal is restricted to those three things. It does not rebuild roads or run long-term housing programmes. Please give if you want those first, essential things in someone’s hands. - Emergency food after floods or quakes — Long-term farm recovery or school feeding - Clean drinking water when wells are spoiled — Permanent city water networks - Temporary shelter, tarpaulins, blankets — House reconstruction or new roads - Winter warmth for families still displaced — A separate fashion or clothing campaign ## Why does Pakistan’s monsoon need a standing fund? The monsoon returns. In a catastrophic year, tens of millions of people can be affected and more than a million homes damaged. Please donate before the next rains, not only after the pictures. A standing fund means partners are not starting from zero. If you want your gift marked for Pakistan specifically, use the Pakistan Floods Appeal. This page is the three-country standing fund. Both buy food, water and shelter through local partners. Please give to whichever page matches how you want to help. Harvests drowned in floodwater become hunger months later. That is why this appeal sits beside the Hunger Crisis Appeal. Please donate so a family is not left with a ruined field and an empty pot. ## What do families need after an earthquake? Drinking water if a well is spoiled, food if the market cannot open, and a dry place to sleep if they are afraid to go back inside. Please donate. Aftershocks keep people outdoors. Your gift buys those first, essential things. If you want your gift marked for Indonesia specifically after the Flores earthquake of 15 August 2026, use the Indonesia Emergency Appeal. This page covers earthquakes and floods across Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia. Local partners buy supplies nearby and put them in people’s hands. Please give so that chain is already funded when the next shock comes. ## Why is winter a second emergency after a flood or quake? When cold weather arrives and families are still displaced, this appeal can fund blankets, warm clothing and shelter repair. That is not a separate fashion campaign. It is the same displaced family, later in the year. Please donate so they are not left in a wet tent. The news cycle moves on. The monsoon or the aftershocks do not. Children still sleep on damp ground. Older people still get ill. Please give to the Emergency Floods Appeal so winter kits can move without a new launch. ## What will my donation to the Emergency Floods Appeal provide? Your donation provides emergency food, clean drinking water and temporary shelter. A gift of £10 can cover drinking water for a family for a week. £25 can cover a food parcel. £50 can help with a shelter kit. Please give what you can. Please choose an amount and donate. The figures below are typical partner costs. They are a guide to what kindness can buy. What a family receives depends on the country and on what they need that week. That is the promise of this appeal. You give. We turn your money into help for people who have lost their homes. Please do not leave the page without giving if you are able. - £10 — clean drinking water for a displaced family for one week, or a thermal blanket - £25 — an emergency food parcel for a flood- or quake-affected family - £50 — a waterproof shelter kit or a winter warmth kit - £100 — water, food and emergency supplies for a family through the first weeks - £250 — pre-positioned supplies for five families in a high-risk zone - £500 — a full relief package for 10 displaced families ## How does my donation reach flood-affected families? You donate. We hold the gift for this appeal. When a disaster is declared, trustees release funds to local partners. They buy food, water and shelter materials nearby and deliver them. Please donate so that chain is already funded. Buying locally is faster, and it is kinder. A shopkeeper in a damaged town still has a customer. A family does not wait for a container from Europe. Please donate so that chain can start. If you want to give in memory of someone, or as a group, write to info@worldaidnetwork.org and we will mark the gift for the Emergency Floods Appeal. ## How quickly will my donation help after a flood or earthquake? Card donations are processed straight away. Partners aim to start delivering food, water and shelter within forty-eight to seventy-two hours of a disaster. Remote ground can take longer. Your gift still means a family can be reached without waiting for a new fundraising drive. Money that has already been given can move when the waters rise or the ground shakes. Please donate today — once, or every month — so the next family is not left thirsty while the world organises a response. ## How can I donate to flood relief from the UK? Please donate on this page by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. From the United Kingdom, a card gift buys food, water and shelter where the disaster is. You do not need to fill a shipping container. Please give today, once or every month. Please do not send clothes, shoes or bottled water from Britain unless a partner has asked for a specific item in writing. Parcels usually arrive late and cost more than buying locally. The kindest thing you can do is donate here. If you want your gift marked for Indonesia specifically after the Flores earthquake, use the Indonesia Emergency Appeal. If you want Pakistan specifically, use the Pakistan Floods Appeal. This page is the standing fund for all three countries. ## Can I give monthly to the Emergency Floods Appeal? Yes — a monthly donation keeps this standing fund ready for the next monsoon or quake. Please set up a regular gift on this page. Even a small monthly amount helps partners keep kits ready. You can also give in memory of someone you love. Disasters do not follow a fundraising calendar. A regular gift means we can say yes when partners ask for water, food and shelter materials. Please start a monthly gift at the amount that is comfortable for you. You can change it later. If you would rather give once, that gift is welcome too. Donate today. ## How is this different from the Indonesia Emergency Appeal? Indonesia Emergency is the country page for earthquakes and tsunamis there, including Flores on 15 August 2026. This appeal is the standing three-country flood and earthquake fund. Please donate to the page that matches how you want to help. Both buy food, water and shelter. You do not need to give twice unless you want to. A gift here can still help Indonesian families after floods or quakes. A gift on the Indonesia page is marked for that country. Please give if you are able. ## Should I send clothes or bottled water from the UK? Please donate money instead, unless a partner has asked for a specific item in writing. Parcels from Britain usually arrive late and cost more than buying locally. A card gift on this page is the fastest way to help. Local partners know what a family needs that week. A container of unused coats does not. Please give to the Emergency Floods Appeal so rice, water and tarpaulins can be bought nearby. ## What will a donation provide? - £10: Clean drinking water for a displaced family for one week, or a thermal blanket - £25: An emergency food parcel for a flood- or quake-affected family - £50: A waterproof shelter kit or a winter warmth kit for one household - £100: Water, food and emergency supplies for a family through the first weeks - £250: Pre-positioned supplies for five families in a high-risk zone - £500: A full relief package for 10 displaced families ## How to donate to the Emergency Floods Appeal Donate so World Aid Network can get food, clean water and shelter to families after floods and earthquakes. - Open this appeal: Stay on this page or go to worldaidnetwork.org/donate. - Choose emergency relief: Keep the Emergency Floods Appeal selected. - Give by card: Pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. - Optional: give monthly: A monthly gift keeps kits ready before the next monsoon. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does this rebuild houses?
