P@SHA Relief Drive for Swat IDPs

Posted on 15 May 2009

A humanitarian crisis of enormous proportions has befallen hundreds of thousands of innocent people of Swat - men, women and children - who have had to leave their homes, their villages, everything they hold dear, out of fear - to save their lives and the lives of their families. These people need our help. They need food, medicines, utensils, clothing, clean drinking water, bandages, fans, tents, medical assistance, etc. In answer to this crisis, the Pakistan Software Houses Association for IT & ITES (P@SHA) has launched a Relief Drive for Internally Displaced Persons from Swat. Some of our members have already begun to contribute to the Fund. We are now appealing to companies, to universities, to our brethren across the country to donate what they can. We will purchase the items that are needed, and send them through trusted organizations to the affected people. Please contact the P@SHA secretariat at 92-21-5418121 if you wish to donate.
