This family received a new house
HELP International keeps on forwarding donations for the flood victims to Bishop Yaqub in Lahore.
Since the beginning of winter Bishop Yaqub and his co workers from ‘Christ for Pakistan Ministries’ are engaged in construction work, building small brick houses for the flood victims. As these houses can be very easily constructed, quite a number of them have already been finished and handed over to families that lost everything in the flood.
Bishop Yaqub is a man of integrity and cautiousness who is devoted to help his people. HELP International is grateful to be in contact with him since he knows best where one should help first and is not afraid of getting his hands dirty.
The United Nations has rated the floods in Pakistan as the greatest humanitarian crisis in recent history with more people affected than the South-East Asian tsunami and the recent earthquakes in Kashmir and Haiti combined (Neil Tweedie, ‘Pakistan floods: disaster is the worst in the UN's history’, The Telegraph 09.August 2010)
Months after the floods many families still are homeless. Especially children, elderly and sick people are suffering from the cold temperatures during winter time.
Each brick house that can be built will serve as a shelter for a whole family.
In the name of Bishop Yaqub and Pakistan’s flood victims we would like to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for your donation!
