Help Internally Displaced People of Swat

More than two million people of Swat, Buner, Dir and the adjacent areas have left their homes in order to move away from the war zone. They had to leave behind most of their belongings and take bare minimum with them. Many of them had to walk on foot to reach the camps in safer areas and during this journey a number of family members got separated. These people who are used to the pleasant weather of Swat valley are now taking refuge in areas with hot weather. The lucky ones have tents to protect themselves from hot sun but many are still waiting to be provided with tents. (Image from PashtunPost).

The admirable people of areas like Mardan, Mansehra and Swabi have opened their houses for these IDPs. Thousands of families have been accommodated by them. The Tarakai family alone is housing around 6000 IDPs. In their limited resources people of Mardan are doing whatever they can but the displaced people are in hundreds of thousands and people of Mardan alone cannot support them all. We all have the responsibility to help our people in need. Lets stand up to this challenge and be counted. Lets not wait for someone else to help them. Lets not wait for foreign aid. Lets get together and do whatever is possible.

Here is a list of a few ways to donate for this cause. I will add more to this list.
