MEINL donates for homeless people in Pakistan

The floods began last month in Pakistan's north-west after heavy monsoon rains and have since swept south, swamping thousands of towns and villages in Punjab and Sindh provinces.

About one-fifth of Pakistan's territory is underwater and an estimated 20 million people are affected.

"I am shocked about the current situation in Pakistan. Millions of people have lost their home and are now suffering from this historic tragedy.", says Mr. Meinl. "We decided to help our Pakistani friends and partners without any hesitation. Our donation will be evenly distributed to families that are still living under open sky."

Response from our Pakistani contact: "We are working day and night to rehabilitate the victims. We will soon settle these sufferers and build a New Pakistan. Please remember us in your prayers."
