FOCUS ON BADIN….
As Pakistan experiences another wave of deadly floods,
DawnRelief concentrates on Sindh….
Since August this year, villages in Sindh are once again experiencing destructive flooding. Seven million people have been affected and over 1.36 million homes have been damaged or destroyed, creating further pressure on a population already badly hit by the floods of 2010
Earlier in 2011, and with YOUR support, the DawnRelief Home Reconstruction Programme handed over 200 newly constructed houses to families near Sehwan who had lost their homes last year.
Now, as a result of a second wave of floods, DawnRelief has set up operations in villages spread across 13 dehs in Taluka Golarchi (Badin) and Mirpur Batro (Thatta).
An estimated 1,427 houses have been destroyed by these floods, affecting a population of approximately 28,878 people living in these villages. At the moment, we are providing tents, food, drinking water and other essential items to as many people as we can and we are continuously striving towards increasing this number as quickly and as substantially as we can.
In the long-term our objective is to build a further 1,000 homes across Pakistan, including 200 homes in the affected areas lying within the districts of Badin and Thatta.
As thousands of flood affected families across Pakistan continue to remain homeless, you as an individual can make all the difference in helping us change this situation.
