Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page Please support my fast for 30 days!
The severe flooding in Pakistan has affected close to 14 million people, of which 6 million are children. The floods are said to be the worst in the region for eighty years.
UNICEF is already on the ground with our partners providing emergency healthcare and safe drinking water to affected families.
The situation is extremely challenging. Access to many areas have been cut off by the rising waters and houses, schools, roads and vital supplies have been washed away.
Together with our partners, UNICEF has already set up twenty four medical camps in the affected areas benefiting around one million people. These camps are providing medical support to families affected including antenatal care and immunisation against deadly measles. We are also providing water kits and educating families with health and hygiene messages to help prevent outbreaks of disease.
We urgently need your support to help protect the rights of all children in Pakistan.
£30 could immunise 30 children against deadly measles.
£50 could help provide 5 families with access to safe drinking water.
UNICEF relies entirely on voluntary donations.
In order to support the charity UNICEF and raise money for the people of Pakistan I am going to take part in the fasting of Ramadan commencing on the 12th August 2010 for 30 days this will include not eating or drinking during the hours of day light aswell as giving up alcohol for the full 30 days!
