Pakistan needs our help

Monsoon rains have caused devastating floods in Pakistan, leaving millions homeless, destroying buildings, bridges and roads and leaving vast swathes of the country under water.

Flash floods and landslides along the Indus and Kabul rivers have left more than 1,000 dead and 1,600 injured - with the southern districts of Balochistan and Sindh worst-affected.

The flooding has affected around 33 million Pakistanis - one in seven people - and damaged or destroyed more than 500,000 houses.

Raging flood waters have also swept away 700,000 head of livestock and damaged more than 3.6 million acres of crops - wiping out cotton, wheat, vegetable and fruit harvests.

Who are we?

We are a New Zealand charity with strong ties to Pakistan. We hope to improve the lives of former refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrants as they find their place within Auckland’s vibrant communities.

Many of the people we support here in Auckland are from Pakistan, and our charity works closely with our HOPE colleagues there.

Today, we are calling on the generosity of New Zealanders to help us support our families, friends and colleagues in Pakistan.
