Our partnership with World Vision and Kashf

On July 21st, 2010, Pakistan began experiencing extreme flooding due to heavy rains and monsoons, causing rivers to breach capacity and entire villages to become submerged. This natural disaster affected nearly 20 million people – more than the Haiti Earthquake and 2004 Asia Tsunami combined according to many aid organizations. This is due largely to the loss of infrastructure: homes, businesses, crops, health and education services–which will take years to rebuild. For this reason, ODW chose to partner with two organizations – Kashf and World Vision. Both these organizations already had a very substantive presence in Pakistan and continued to engage in the relief efforts.
