## In short

Please donate to the Pakistan Floods Appeal so we can get food, clean water, hygiene kits and shelter to families displaced by flooding. Give by card on this page. Local partners deliver the help. £50 can fund emergency food for a family of five. Your gift becomes a meal, a drink and a roof.

Please donate. Flood-affected families in Pakistan still need food, water, hygiene kits and shelter.

## At a glance

- 33M+: People affected in Pakistan’s catastrophic flood season (published figure used on this appeal)
- 1.7M: Homes damaged or destroyed in that disaster period
- £50: Typical emergency food for a family of five for three weeks
- Food, water, shelter: What this appeal is restricted to — not reconstruction

## What is the Pakistan Floods Appeal?

The Pakistan Floods Appeal is World Aid Network’s Pakistan emergency relief page. It is also called the Pakistan Emergency Appeal. Please donate for food, clean water, hygiene kits and shelter for families displaced by flooding in Pakistan. Local partners deliver the help. We do not rebuild cities from this appeal.

When the monsoon comes in, a family can lose everything that keeps them alive: the roof, the well, the rice that was meant to last the season. They wade out with what they can carry. Then they wait. That wait is where your donation matters.

Please give to the Pakistan Emergency Appeal. Catastrophic flooding has affected tens of millions of people and damaged or destroyed well over a million homes in the disaster period this appeal answers. Harvests were lost. Drinking sources were spoiled. That is hunger and thirst on top of a ruined house.

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. £50 can cover emergency food for a family of five for three weeks. £100 can help with a shelter kit. Please give what you can.

## Why do families in Pakistan need your help?

Floodwaters take homes, wells and harvests. 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.

World Aid Network funds trusted local partner organisations. Their teams know the ground. They use boats and motorbikes when roads are gone. Please give so they can keep moving food, water and shelter kits.

Please do not wait for the next monsoon photograph. Give now to the Pakistan Emergency Appeal so a family already displaced is not left thirsty while the world organises a response.

## How can I help people in Pakistan after the floods?

Please give on this page by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Your donation to the Pakistan Floods Appeal becomes food, water, hygiene kits and shelter. Give once, or give every month. Please donate today.

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 Pakistan Emergency Appeal.

If your mosque, church, workplace or friends are collecting, gather what you can and donate it here. Please do not send clothes or bottled water from the UK unless a partner has asked in writing. Local buying is faster and kinder.

## How bad was the flooding this appeal answers?

The published figures used on this appeal are more than 33 million people affected and about 1.7 million homes damaged or destroyed. Please donate. Those numbers are the disaster, not a claim about how many families we have already reached. Your gift is how a household in that picture gets food, water and shelter.

We will not invent a caseload for World Aid Network. We will ask you to give so local partners can deliver the first things to people who have lost a home. Please give to the Pakistan Emergency Appeal.

- 33 million+ — People affected in Pakistan’s catastrophic flood season (published figure used on this appeal)
- 1.7 million — Homes damaged or destroyed in that disaster period
- Food, water, shelter — What this appeal is restricted to — not reconstruction

## Why does a lost harvest become hunger months later?

An entire season’s crop can drown. Farming families then face empty stores and a market that cannot open. Please donate so emergency food sits beside clean water and shelter. Hunger after a flood is the same family, later.

If you want your gift marked only for food, use the Hunger Crisis Appeal. If you want it marked only for water, use the Clean Water Emergency Appeal. This page funds all three: food, water and shelter in Pakistan. Please give to the page that matches how you want to help.

## What will my donation to the Pakistan Floods Appeal provide?

Your donation provides emergency food, clean drinking water and temporary shelter. £10 can cover a week of drinking water for a family. £50 can cover food for three weeks. £100 can help with a shelter kit. Please give what you can.

Figures are typical partner costs. What a household receives depends on where they are and what they need that week. Please choose an amount and donate. That is the promise of this appeal. You give. We turn your money into help for people who have lost their homes.

- £10 — safe drinking water for a displaced family for one week
- £25 — safe drinking water for a family for one month
- £50 — emergency food for a family of five for three weeks
- £100 — a waterproof shelter kit for one displaced family
- £250 — emergency food parcels for 15 displaced families
- £500 — a shelter and food package for 10 families

## How do you reach remote flood-affected areas in Pakistan?

We work with local partner organisations who already know the communities. When roads are impassable they use boats, motorbikes and, where necessary, air drops. Please donate so those teams have food, water and shelter to take with them.

Women, children and older people face the greatest risks in displacement. Partners are asked to prioritise them. We do not send cash to individuals. Please give so the next boat is not empty.

## How does my donation reach a family in Pakistan?

You donate. Trustees release funds to local partners in Pakistan. They buy food, water and shelter materials nearby and deliver them. Please donate so that chain can start. A gift here becomes help on the ground.

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. 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 Pakistan Emergency Appeal.

## How quickly will my donation help families in Pakistan?

Card donations are processed straight away. Once trustees release funds, partners aim to start delivering food, water and shelter within forty-eight to seventy-two hours. Cut roads take longer. Your gift still means a family can be reached without waiting for a new fundraising drive.

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 Pakistan flood relief from the UK?

Please donate on this page by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. A card gift from the United Kingdom buys food, water and shelter in Pakistan. That is the useful thing to do. If you want a three-country standing fund, use the Emergency Floods Appeal instead.

Please do not send clothes or bottled water from Britain unless a partner has asked in writing. Parcels usually arrive late and cost more than buying locally. If your workplace, mosque or church is collecting, bring the money here.

## Can I give monthly to the Pakistan Floods Appeal?

Yes — a monthly donation keeps help ready for the next monsoon. Please set up a regular gift on this page. Even a small monthly amount helps partners keep kits moving. You can also give in memory of someone you love.

Floods return with the rains. A regular gift means partners are not starting from zero each year. 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.

## Does this appeal cover earthquakes and winter in Pakistan?

This named appeal is marked for flood-affected families in Pakistan. For a Pakistan earthquake, donate to the standing Floods and Earthquake Appeal. Winter warmth for families still displaced after a flood sits with shelter on this page. The emergency relief hub covers all three Object countries.

Pakistan also faces Himalayan and Hindu Kush earthquakes, and cold nights for families still under tarpaulins after the monsoon. Those needs are real. This page is the Pakistan Floods Appeal. Partners watch public disaster declarations, including from Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority, then buy food, water, hygiene kits and shelter nearby.

If you want a three-country standing fund rather than a Pakistan-marked gift, use the Emergency Floods Appeal. If you want the step-by-step of how flood relief works, read the flood relief guide. Please do not send clothes or bottled water from Britain unless a partner has asked in writing.

## How is this different from the standing Floods Appeal?

This page is marked for flood-affected families in Pakistan. The Emergency Floods Appeal is the standing three-country fund for Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia. 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 stays with Pakistan flood relief. The three-country emergency relief hub explains the programme; this page is where you donate for Pakistan floods.

## What happens if more is raised than needed this week?

Trustees may direct surplus to other disaster-relief work in Pakistan, Indonesia or Malaysia, in line with our Objects — never kept as profit. Please donate. Unused money still becomes food, water or shelter for a family who has lost a home.

This appeal does not rebuild cities. It does not fund cancer treatment or eye surgery. Those are separate programmes. Please give here if you want emergency food, water and shelter in Pakistan.

## Should I send clothes or food parcels 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 Pakistan Emergency Appeal so rice, water and tarpaulins can be bought nearby.

## What will a donation provide?

- £10: Safe drinking water for a displaced family for one week
- £25: Safe drinking water for a family for one month, or an emergency hygiene kit
- £50: Emergency food for a family of five for three weeks
- £100: A waterproof shelter kit for one displaced family
- £250: Emergency food parcels for 15 displaced families
- £500: A shelter and food package for 10 families
