The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada joins Canadian Lutheran World Relief in asking its members to consider donating to those suffering from catastrophic flooding in Pakistan. Together with the Humanitarian Coalition, CLWR is appealing for donations to respond to the flooding emergency unfolding in Pakistan.
Cataclysmic flooding in Pakistan has destroyed homes, crops, health centres, roads and bridges, affecting more than 33 million people. Rain is expected to continue through September and there is an elevated risk of the spread of malaria, dengue fever and other diseases.
The Government of Canada has announced that it will match donations to the Humanitarian Coalition and its member charities up to $3 million. Your gift today will provide life-saving clean water, food, shelter and healthcare to those affected. You can make a donation through your envelopes, indicating 'CLWR - Pakistan' on the "other" line or directly with CLWR on their website. Please click here.
You can make a difference — please give generously!
