No one's too small to make a difference.


Did you know one third of Pakistan is under water due to floods?

Heavy rain for the last 2 months has displaced over 30 million people and destroyed thousands of homes.

That means families have no where to go, kids can't go to school, and babies are getting sick from water-borne diseases :(

We can help make a difference!

We will ride our scooters for 24 km to help raise money and awareness for the floods in Pakistan.

Follow our journey as we share updates to reach our goal.

The humanitarian situation in Pakistan spirals out of control following an abnormal monsoon season

Over 33 million people have been affected by the deadly floods in Pakistan in the worst climate disaster in a decade. Unprecedented heavy monsoon continues to devastate and displace vulnerable communities across the country. One million people have lost their houses, and the death toll from the five weeks of rains has reached 903, half of whom are children and women.

The floods exacerbated the country’s financial crisis after millions lost their businesses and livelihood. Twelve million acres of crops have been submerged underwater, ruining the harvest season and causing a massive shortage of staples such as rice and flour, vegetables, and fruits in the markets.

Food prices have soared, subsequently adding a significant burden on families who are already struggling to survive this disaster. Vegetable and essential food commodities have doubled in prices, which is unusual in this season.

Balochistan remains one of the most affected regions in the country. Over 3,000km of road has been damaged or destroyed making access to affected areas a challenge.

More than 33 million people have been displaced

Over 220,000 homes have been destroyed. A staggering 33 million people had been badly affected by the flooding according to local government, while the Pakistan’s disaster agency has said nearly 220,000 homes were destroyed and half a million more badly damaged.

Prior to the most recent monsoon rains, authorities had confirmed that 977km of road infrastructure and 61 bridges have been destroyed, the situation has worsened with the most recent monsoon rains, which poses an even more severe threat to the lives of millions of people.

Without access to urgent medical aid, food, clean water, and adequate shelter, those who have fled to higher ground will be at even more risk.

Islamic Relief is on the ground providing life-saving aid

Islamic Relief has been operating in Pakistan for over 30 years. Their emergency teams are on the ground right now, already working in local communities to establish how best to support affected families, who urgently need food, shelter, bedding, and hygiene items.

IR teams also work with the local government to support relief efforts.

Islamic Relief is focused on helping communities recover from the disaster as quickly as possible to ensure that vulnerable people do not continue to suffer the terrifying impact of the flash floods.

As the situation deteriorates, we desperately need to respond to meet the ongoing and immediate needs of those who have been affected.

Your support today can help save the lives of countless vulnerable people.
