THE EDHI FOUNDATION: Recommended for Flood Victims
Here's the one charity recommended over and over again because of the long history with emergency relief in and out of Pakistan. (Our family is donating here) This will help the foundation to operate in perhaps the greatest challenge of their history. Since they are based in Pakistan, they will be called upon in many countless ways to help the victims somewhat in solo as well as to help coordinate other volunteering groups:
Edhi Foundation here
This group does not do Credit Cards (at least out of New York).
For US readers, please send your check to:
USA Edhi international Foundation
42-07 National Street
Corona, New York, 11368 USA
Tel: (718) 639-5120 Fax: (718) 335-1978
Find other centers AROUND THE WORLD & Pakistan collecting for Edhi Foundation here
Of course this disaster is way too large for any one group. This flood disaster and the many affected need the entire world's help. PLEASE DO YOUR PART!
