Summary
Funds are needed to get much-needed medical supplies, food, water, and volunteers into Pakistan’s flood-affected areas. We have established one of the first proper medical camps in the affected area.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Monsoons have flooded much of Northern Pakistan displacing thousands of families and leaving masses homeless, but no major relief efforts have yet begun to reach the hardest hit regions. Funds are needed to get supplies and volunteers to where they are most needed. Donations will pay for medicines, vaccinations, emergency equipment, ambulance rental, fuel, food, water and logistics to get these supplies through the difficult terrain into Pakistan's flood-affected areas.
How will this project solve this problem?
We have set up a medical clinic close to the hardest hit flood areas. Donations will allow us to purchase and create a supply line from the larger cities to deliver donations of medical supplies, food, water, and medical providers, and volunteers.
Potential Long Term Impact
UM Healthcare with CDRS will provide supplies to aid with immediate disaster relief in severely affected areas of Pakistan. Aid will also allow treatment and prevention of chronic and waterborne diseases that have begun to emerge.
Project Message
The magnitude of the displacement is so large we are now hearing figures of over 2.5 million people having been affected. So it's a very, very difficult task. It's a very challenging one.
