As you are well aware 20 million people in Pakistan have been affected by the worst floods the country has seen in decades.

Caritas Australia has launched an appeal and will work with communities now and in the long-term to improve hygiene practices, provide access to clean water, repair community infrastructure and provide emergency shelter, to at least 60,000 people over the next 10 months.

Their relief effort in the country is underway with local partners responding to the community’s immediate needs: food, water and shelter by delivering hygiene and shelter kits, including water purification tablets to people in the severely affected areas.
