DEVASTATING FLOODING IN PAKISTAN

Please join PAKSBAB in our fundraising drive to
rebuild houses for recent flood victims. 

According to Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority, an estimated 2000 people have lost their lives, 2 million homes have been damaged or destroyed, and 20 million people have been affected. The United Nations has rated the floods as the greatest humanitarian crisis in recent history with more people affected than the South-East Asian tsunami and the recent earthquakes in Kashmir and Haiti combined. Entire villages have disappeared without a trace of infrastructure remaining.

Please help the flood-affected people of Pakistan rebuild their lives and dignity by making a donation to PAKSBAB today.  Your contribution will be used to build affordable, safe, energy-efficient straw bale houses for flood affected families using local materials and labor.  By teaching new skills and providing local income, we can help families get back on their feet while building cross-cultural relationships and the foundation for a more peaceful world.
