Present estimates indicate that over two thousand people have died and over a million homes have been destroyed since the flooding began. The United Nations estimates that more than 21 million people are injured or homeless as a result of the flooding, exceeding the combined total of individuals affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake. At one point, approximately one-fifth of Pakistan's total land area was underwater due to the flooding. (Source Wikipedia)

The Eklectik Foundation - PROJECT HANDS ON is now utilizing its network to facilitate collection of donations as well as funds and the much needed attention to this calamity. In doing so, EKF has set up a help desk at the EKGENES showroom and distribution center in Atlanta to assist donors. Inspired by PIA's Family Pack, 15" x 15" x 12" cartons which will contain high energy food and liquids, EKF will make a similar version to include products easily available from the US markets. The contents of the EKF Family Survival Pack will contain: 1 Flat Sheet, 2 Bottles of Water (1.5 Liters ea), 2 Six packs of juice (250 ml), 3 packets cookies, 1 Powdered Milk Carton, 1 Packet of dates/dry fruit, 2 Anti Septic Soap Bars, 1 Pack of 6 ct. paper cups, 6 Packets Powdered Hydration Juice (2.2 oz ea), 1 Box of chocolates, and 1 bag of potato chips. EKF will send the Family Survival Packs to PIA's Cargo Hub in New York for onward distribution thru their existing channels of Non-Government Organizations as well as the PK Army.
