'We are collecting funds and then passing it onto charities that are on the ground in Pakistan, that can quickly mobilize resources and get it to the flood-affected people there,' explained Kamran Salahuddin.
This aerial photograph taken on September 5, 2022 shows flooded residential areas after heavy monsoon rains in Dera Allah Yar, Balochistan province. - Nearly a third of Pakistan is under water -- an area the size of the United Kingdom -- following months of record monsoon rains that have killed 1,300 people and washed away homes, businesses, roads and bridges. The images of the flooding in Pakistan after the record monsoon rains are devastating — and the statistics are staggering.
One-third of the country of Pakistan — about 100,000 square-miles — is underwater right now. To put it in perspective, Salahuddin said, it’s “as if the state of Washington was all underwater and then some.” “We do not keep any percentage or any overhead — 100% of the donations are passed onto charities on the ground,” Salahuddin said.The association is planning future fundraising events to help the flood relief efforts in Pakistan. Additionally, if you or a group you are part of would like to host an event to help Pakistan, the association will help you organize it.
