CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC RELIEF PACKAGE FOR WIDOWS AND POOR FAMILIES

The Corona Virus Pandemic affected globally everyone. The Lockdown situation in Pakistan is creating an extreme of hardship for widows, poor families and daily wage workers. The Sameera Foundation launched this APPEAL to provide an immediate emergency food packet worth Rs1,000/- (£5) to widows, poor families and daily wage workers. The package will contain 20 kg wheat flour and 2 Kg sugar. The local committee decided to distribute wheat flour bag of 25 kg worth Rs1,200 (£6) instead  of a package of £5. 

The donations facilitated us to purchase 570 bags to distribute for widows, poor families and daily wage workers. We have details of widows and poor families along with their addresses for both the villages of Shamsabad and Shah Pur.  The local staff decided to deliver the flour bags at the door of each recipients. This was done to avoid public gathering as  recommended  for lockdown situation to avoid any risk of spread of this virus.  Any amount left from this will be transferred to Ramadhan Food Gift Package to be distributed within next two weeks. The Donors will be kept in touch to see how their donations are being used.

                         The details of donations are presented below:
