Dear Community Members,
SSA is collecting donations for the people who have been badly hit by the recent torrential rainfalls and floods following the loss of human lives, livestock, houses, agriculture, and infrastructure in the Sindh province of Pakistan. The recent spell of rain has wreaked havoc across Sindh. People are dying from hunger, house collapse, and unavailability of power, shelter, and medicine. The people are in emergency situations, this is the time to play our part so please donate generously.
You can either donate via the GoFundMe site,
