Flood in Gujranwala: help the Northside settlement rebuild
After the flood, families in the Northside settlement need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.
🇵🇰 Gujranwala, Punjab, Pakistan559 views
The flood hit the Northside settlement on 23 July. My home was one of 21 damaged, and 5 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church hall.
The first few days we shared what little we had. Now the cleanup has started, but we've no money for materials and winter or the rainy season is coming.
Schools in the area have been closed, and the clinic lost its cold storage for vaccines. We're a small community of working families who have never asked for help before.
We have formed a volunteer committee, and I'm the treasurer, so I'll post receipts for everything we buy.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $800 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $370
• Clean water and purification supplies: $60
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $145
• Food parcels for displaced families: $80
• Tools and labor for repairs: $145

Good news. Because of your gifts ($84 in total) the plan for clean water and purification supplies is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Gujranwala: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Update from Gujranwala: I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. We're at 1% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
