RELIEF EFFORT MAIN PAGE

Dear Friends/Supporters:

SARID is engaged in raising funds for the victims of the earthquake which struck the region on Saturday.

People in the quake's affected areas desperately need:

Burial shrouds, blankets, tents, blankets, tents, food, candles, stoves, dry milk powder, mineral water, matches, sweaters, caps, mufflers, gloves.

At night the temperature can drop down to about 6 degrees C, despite the fact that winter has not even started yet. One tent costs about $5 or $6. Your help can make a difference! Your contribution of $100 can also sustain a family of four for a week. This money will be sent directly to Edhi, where the help will be directly distributed by SARID's relief coordinators.

Also needed are antibiotics, anti-typhoid medicines, fracture treatment kits, and surgical equipment.

If you would like to assist in the relief effort, please go to SARID's donation site and contribute with a credit card.

Your entire donation (100%) goes towards the relief effort. SARID is bearing all overhead expenses.

We will keep the donors informed of what SARID is doing on our website and via mail.
