Please donate to Christian Aid's Pakistan floods appeal

The advice from the Church of Scotland's World Mission Council is that concerned people make donations towards flood-relief efforts through our partner Christian Aid, or to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC), of which Christian Aid is a part.

Your donations will help make a difference to the people of Pakistan whose homes and livelihoods have been destroyed in what the UN is describing as the worst natural disaster since the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami.

Christian Aid has sent £750,000 to help Act Alliance partners respond to the devastating floods that have killed more than 1,600 people.

ACT Alliance partners is providing food, shelter and medical assistance to around 230,000 people in Balochistan, Khyber Paktunkwa, Punjab and Sindh provinces.

World Mission is in close contact with our partner church, The Church of Pakistan, and has sent an emergency grant of £10,000 to help relief work.
