Emergency Flood Appeal

Emergency Flood Appeal – Pakistan Needs Your Help

During August and September 2025, Pakistan has faced monsoon floods on a historic scale. Torrential rains and overflowing rivers have swept away villages, destroyed crops, and forced millions from their homes. Families are stranded under the open sky, exposed to hunger, disease, and despair. In Punjab, the country’s most populous province, over 900 lives have already been lost, more than 2 million people displaced, 9,000 homes destroyed, and crops of cotton, rice, and wheat wiped out. The toll on children has been especially severe, with homes and schools submerged, leaving them without shelter, safety, or education. Families in makeshift camps struggle to protect their children, while floodwaters breed deadly diseases such as cholera and malaria, making food, clean water, and hygiene kits urgent priorities.

For Christian and Hindu families already living in deep poverty, the crisis is even worse. Many have reported being turned away from relief lines or excluded from camps simply because of their faith.

Already living on the margins, they now find themselves abandoned in their hour of greatest need. Since 1998, CLAAS has stood alongside persecuted and marginalized communities in Pakistan. We know from experience that minority families are often neglected in times of disaster, and today we are determined to reach them with urgent help, restoring both hope and dignity.

“Life was already difficult after my husband died last year. Now the floods have taken everything. My children cry with hunger. We have no food, no bedding, and no roof over our heads.”

Our emergency response

Together with local churches, temples, and trusted community volunteers in Punjab, we are ready to provide:

• Relief packs for 1,000 families: flour, rice, pulses, cooking oil, sugar, tea, powdered milk, and spices.
•Hygiene kits: bottled water, purification tablets, soap, detergent, sanitary pads, and disinfectant.
• Bedding for 500 displaced families: quilts, bed sheets, floor mats, and clothing.
• Legal support: helping families replace CNICs, birth certificates, and land documents lost in the floods.

Our work will focus on flood-affected districts including Kasur, Sialkot, Chiniot, Narowal, Faisalabad, and Multan

“And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.” – Matthew 7:25
