Sarhad Rural Support Programme

Concerned citizens based in Lahore are collecting relief items for the
Sarhad Rural Support Programme, the largest NGO in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa
province. SRSP's experience and size make it the most suitable choice for
donations at this time. They are a part of the Rural Support Programmes
Network (rspn.org), founded by Shoaib Sultan Khan, who was nominated for the
2009 Nobel Peace Prize (along with President Obama and others).

People may make donations directly to SRSP, write crossed cheques to us in
favor of SRSP or donate relief goods directly to them (which will then be
loaded on to trucks headed for SRSP warehouses in Peshawar. People are also
welcome to join in the effort of loading the trucks and actually making the
trip to the affected areas to see the profound difference their generosity
makes in the lives of so many.

International Charity Organizations:

Trocaire (an Irish NGO that's funding Noor Education Trust, Rural
Development Project and Pakistan Village Development Program):

Trócaire has already launched an emergency appeal and committed €200,000 to
help families and communities in the north west of the country.

In Peshawar district, one of the worst affected areas, Trócaire's partners
have already begun working in 4 villages where 10,000 people need food,
water and support.

Trócaire has been working in Pakistan for over 20 years, making it well
placed to respond quickly to this disaster and get help quickly to where
it's needed most.

Cecil Dunne, Pakistan emergency officer says the situation is really
desperate for over thousands of families who have been forced from their
homes. “This is a terrible situation for families and communities who only a
year ago had their lives turned upside down by widespread violence in this
area and now they are on the run again from flooding. The thing is that the
monsoon season hasn’t even started yet so people here are very vulnerable
and need immediate help.”
