The floods this year have not had the same media coverage as last year. But the devastating effects are the same. And the same areas are affected. SIM will again work with local partners, distribute food aid, and work with communities in the longer term assisting with poverty alleviation.
Will you pray for and reach out to the people of Pakistan?
You can show love to the people of Pakistan by making a donation.
The response last year was overwhelming.
Thank you so much.
The BBC Reports that:
The numbers affected by the torrential monsoon rains are staggering.
At last count the estimate is more than 7.5m people, and the figure is continuing to rise.
Of these, about three million are critically short of food, according to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP).
More than a million houses have been damaged or destroyed, and almost 4m acres (1.6m ha) are under water. 20 September, 2011

In August 2010, in the initial stage of emergency relief, basic food items and quilts were delivered to 37 villages in surrounding areas. We are awaiting more information from Pakistan on the efforts our team is making now. The relief provided in 2010 was made possible thanks to your generous donations.
