Over 33 million people in Pakistan urgently need help.
Devastating floods have swept Pakistan.
Half a million people have been displaced, a million homes destroyed, a third of the country is underwater and an estimated $10bn in damages has been done to the Pakistan economy.
Your business can help by fundraising for charities that are tirelessly working to provide the people of Pakistan with food, temporary shelter, medical aid, clean water and sanitation to prevent the spread of waterborne diseases.
