Pakistan Floods Emergency Appeal

Pakistan is in the throes of an unprecedented crisis. Each year, the monsoon season brings with it more than just rain—it brings catastrophic flash floods that ravage the country, leaving a wake of unimaginable destruction. Homes and livelihoods are lost, thousands of lives are swept away, and countless individuals and animals find themselves in peril amidst the relentless floodwaters.

In these moments of despair, the Dabbagh Welfare Trust emerges as a beacon of hope and resilience. As one of the first responders to this calamity, our team is committed to providing life-saving support to those most affected. The “Pakistan Floods Emergency Appeal” is not just a campaign—it’s a vital initiative aimed at offering immediate and substantial aid to the vulnerable families bearing the brunt of this disaster.

We call upon you to donate generously to the Pakistan Floods Emergency Appeal. Your contribution is more than just a donation; it is a lifeline that brings food, hygiene supplies, shelter, and medical aid to the doorsteps of those who have lost everything. Stand with us as we strive to alleviate the suffering and rebuild the lives shattered by these devastating floods.

Together, we can transform despair into hope and help Pakistan rise again.

Tell me more »

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Dabbagh Welfare Trust to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Dabbagh Welfare Trust will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Dabbagh Welfare Trust receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.

Food Pack for Flood Victims in Pakistan

DWT’s Emergency Food Pack contains

  • Flour
  • Ghee
  • Rice
  • Sugar
  • Multiple Daals (Lentils)
  • Herbs & Spices

We always try to distribute one food pack to one family, however, in emergencies like these we often have to split one food pack among 2 or 3 families due to shortage of food and desperation in which people are trying to survive.

Donate a food pack for the Pakistan Floods Emergency Appeal and help save lives.

Give Food for Pakistan Flood Victims

The primary aim of launching the Pakistan Floods Emergency Appeal is to expedite the delivery of urgent food aid to the victims of the Pakistan floods. By donating a Food Pack, you can play a pivotal role in providing life-saving sustenance to families who are in desperate need amidst this crisis. These food packs are not just parcels of nourishment; they symbolize hope and support for those who have lost their homes and means of livelihood due to the devastating floods. Your contribution ensures that the most vulnerable, especially children and the elderly, receive the essential nutrients they need during these challenging times.

It is our Responsibility to Help the Ones in Need

Islam teaches us to help those in need as it is a great act of worship and kindness. Both the Quran and the Sunnah (Hadith) mentions the virtues of helping other in numerous places. Here is an Ayah and a Hadith that specifically mentions the great reward for helping your fellow Muslim brothers and sisters in need:

“Charity is for those in need, who, in Allah’s cause are restricted (from travel), and cannot move about in the land, seeking (For trade or work). The ignorant man thinks, because of their modesty, that they are free from want. Thou shalt know them by their (unfailing) mark: They beg not importunately from all the sundry. And whatever good ye give, be assured Allah knoweth it well.”

Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayah 273

This Ayah highlights the importance of giving charity (Zakat) to those who are in need and unable to earn a livelihood due to restrictions, highlighting that charity is a means of recognising and alleviating their suffering.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said,

“Whoever alleviates the need of a needy person, Allah will alleviate his needs in this world and the Hereafter. Whoever shields a Muslim, Allah will shield him in this world and the Hereafter. And Allah will help his servant as long as he helps his brother.”

(Sahih Muslim)

This Hadith beautifully illustrates the concept of mutual support and assistance in Islam. It promises divine help and support to those who aid others, emphasizing the virtue of helping those in need, especially fellow Muslims.

Pakistan Flood Appeal

Unfortunately, these relentless floods are not a first-time occurrence in Pakistan, nor are they likely to be the last. Inadequate water storage planning, coupled with a lack of efficient drainage systems, frequently leads to the flooding of streets and roads across the country. Intense rainfall rapidly fills rivers and canals, often within mere minutes. When river or canal banks are weakened, it results in water breaching these boundaries, unleashing flash floods across the plains. This issue is exacerbated by climate change and environmental degradation, which have led to more severe and unpredictable weather patterns, further challenging the country’s infrastructure and resilience.
