Pakistan Flooding

The International Disaster Response (IDR) of the ELCA has committed a total of $210,000 in response to widespread flooding in Pakistan. Approximately 17.6 million people in Pakistan have been affected by the severe floods, with 900,000 displaced from their homes.

 

The initial $100,000 gift was used to provide shelters, cooking supplies, and soap for those displaced. The additional $110,000 will be directed to two specific responses: water, sanitation and hygiene needs; and food, shelter and nonfood items.

Haiti Earthquake

A 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on Jan. 12, only 15 kilometers southwest of the capital Port-au-Prince. Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world, and this earthquake is proving to be catastrophic for our brothers and sisters there.
