Stories - Hand of Hope

A devastating earthquake and powerful aftershocks hit the southwestern region of Pakistan. More than 500 people died and thousands were left homeless as their mud-walled homes were destroyed.

Hand of Hope partnered with our contact on the ground in Pakistan to provide tents, food, utensils and Joyce’s books to affected families in and around the city of Awaran.

Tents are in high demand because they were in one of the hottest times of the year for Pakistan, with temperatures in the high 90s. Without homes, families are left to sit in the baking sun. These temporary shelters, along with the food and supplies, will provide much-needed relief.

We ask that you join us in prayer for those affected. And as always, thank you for helping us provide immediate relief after disasters like this.
