DEC Pakistan Floods Appeal hits £40m

So far, DEC member agencies and their partners have reached more than 800,000 people. The British public has given £40m to help the victims of the Pakistan floods, charities have said.     

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) said donations to its flood appeal have soared by more than 70% from the second week to the third. 

 The latest figures show the appeal raised £9.5m in week one, £11.2m in week two and £19.3m in week three. The DEC said it had never seen such a pattern of giving for any appeal in its 45-year history.

Paypal Alternative

A few people have gotten a bit confused with our Paypal system. So we have set up a JustGiving Page and might even start to use it instead of Paypal altogether.

Here's how it works:

 Email us (sadaqards@gmail.com) what cards you'd like and the address you'd like the cards sent to

When we reply, we'll give you an identification number in your invoice - to put in your message when donating

Donate straight to Islamic Relief via the Sadaqards Justgiving link

We'll post or (if possible) deliver cards in hand to you

Sadaqards - What's in a name?

Sadaqa (صدقة)‎ relates to any act of giving, out of compassion, love or generosity. 

One hadith says: 'Every day the sun rises, sadaqah is due on every joint of a person. Administering justice between two people is sadaqah; and assisting a man to mount his beast, or helping him load his luggage on it is sadaqah; and a good word is a sadaqah; and every step that you take for prayer is a sadaqah; and removing harmful things from the road is a sadaqah.'

Signed, sealed, delivered

In the news: Southall raises funds for the Pakistan Flood Appeal

Southall rallies for Pakistan flood fundraiser

Aug 12 2010 By James Gates

MORE than £40,000 has been raised as the community in Southall pulls together to help victims of the recent flooding in Pakistan.

Residents, businesses and faith groups have dug deep to help the millions of people whose lives were devastated by the deluge, which has so far killed at least 1,600 people.

And one of the main events was a fundraiser held last week at the TKC Restaurant in Southall Broadway, attended by cricket player Azhar Mahmood and other members of the Pakistani Cricket Team.

The fundraising efforts are being co-ordinated by restaurant manager Dalawar Chaudhry, who has strong links with Pakistan and is a regular visitor to the country.
