Dear Friends,

Pakistan faces a great human calamity.  One tenth of its population stands
helplessly between a distant, drowned and disappeared  home on one side  and
no food, shelter or even hope on the other. The misery of  hunger , disease
and homelessness is unbearable.  They need help and they need it now.  Can
the citizens of Pakistan unite once again to respond to this great human
tragedy?


Led by Justice (Retd.) Fakhruddin G. Ebrahim a group of citizens visited
many affected districts of Sindh to take a first hand understanding of the
nature and size of the problem and its possible solutions. We come back with
a feeling that unless we as citizens put our shoulders together to create a
massive relief effort, the misery and suffering of millions would be further
compounded by each passing day. It was therefore decided to assemble under
the banner of “ Aitemaad Pakistan ” and begin immediate relief efforts which
would later also be extended to the other rehabilitation needs of the
affected people.


This is a request on behalf of ‘Aitemaad Pakistan”,  a non-government
organization, for immediate help and donations, which may be made in cash or
kind. We have created a transparent process of fund collection, need
assessment and delivery of food, water and other relief items.  This is done
by our volunteers in co-ordination with local administration and the
reliable NGOs working in the affected areas.   Our first target is to
collect and distribute  24 thousand dry ration bags, to provide
approximately two million meals. (meals for 6000 families for 4 weeks) Each
bag consists of Ata 10 kg, cooking oil 1 litres, rice 5 kg, dal 2 kg, tea
1/4 kg,  sugar 1 kg,  salt 1 packet,  chili one packet, powder milk 1 kg,
 soap 1 piece,  match box 1. The cost of each such bag is Rs.1500
approximately.



Donors could either themselves prepare bags  with items mentioned above or
make a cash or cheque contribution.  Those wishing to* volunteer their time
and services* may please contact us at :

   *Other items that may be donated are,  clothing, bedsheets, 'chatais'
(mattings), hand pumps,  *
*  mosquito nets and **medicine.*
