Currently several provinces in Pakistan are hit by floods due to torrential rains. In the course of this ongoing catastrophe more than 1000 people have died and more casualties are expected. Access to food, clean water and medicine is not given for a huge number of people.

The Association of Friends and Patrons of the SAI which is a non-profit organistaion now calls for donations for flood victims in Pakistan. With these the assocation wants to support help in the region of Peshawar and in the districts of Swat and Shangla in particular. Professor Sayed Wiqar Ali Shah from the Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad, who since last year is Muhammad Iqbal Fellow at the Southasia-Institute, will coordinate the help on location. He will take care that the donations are given directly to the people concerned and will later also report about the usage of the money donated.
