Help for Pakistan's suffering has been slow in coming. Yellowknife Rotary is donating funds for two shelter boxes. You can help too -- read on to find out how you can make a "matched funds" donation.

ShelterBox partners in Pakistan have already distributed 1000 tents to survivors of the devastating floods that continue to ravage the country. Rotary Karachi and the NDMA (National Disaster Management Agency) are now distributing the tents in the Sindh province in south east Pakistan, the latest area to be affected by the spreading floodwater.

The  tents were taken from prepositioned stock that was sent to southern Pakistan in June. ShelterBox is continuing to move aid into the region.

The need for aid in Pakistan is worsening by the day and it is now imperative that they employ the fastest and most efficient way of getting shelter to those who need it most. To ensure this happens they continue to work closely with their partners in Pakistan to get equipment distributed in the flood-hit regions.

This disaster is still evolving as the flood water moves further south towards the Arabian Sea displacing thousands more people as it spreads. Our hearts go out to everyone caught up in the disaster.

Your ongoing support is needed.
