Flood relief work<br />
<strong>2011</strong> in Sindh<br />
The <strong>2011</strong> Sindh floods began during the monsoon season in mid-<strong>August</strong> <strong>2011</strong>, resulting from heavy<br />
monsoon rains in Sindh, Eastern Balochistan, and Southern Punjab. The floods have caused<br />
considerable damage; an estimated 270 civilians have been killed, with over 8.0 million people and<br />
1.2 million homes affected.<br />
The Board of Management of WMO Pakistan Chapter decided to immediately start Flood Relief work<br />
in Sindh, Pakistan. The decision was taken in its meeting held on Saturday 17th September <strong>2011</strong> at WMO<br />
House, Karachi.<br />
The Flood Relief Work would be carried out under the umbrella of WMO in collaboration with<br />
Shaikhani Foundation and Dhoraji <strong>Memon</strong> Assocation, Karachi.<br />
A base camp has been established at Dhoraji Colony, Karachi for collection of funds and relief goods<br />
required for the flood victims.<br />
A team of volunteers and members of WMO Youth Wing have visited some of the worst affected areas<br />
of Sindh during September <strong>2011</strong> and distributed consignments of rations, medicines, tents and other items<br />
to the flood victims.<br />
The members of the <strong>World</strong> <strong>Memon</strong> Organisation (WMO) and its well-wishers are humbly requested to<br />
contribute generously Zakat, Donations and Relief Goods for this humanitarian cause. We gave below the<br />
