In the summer of 2010, Pakistan saw a devastating flood with more than 20 million people affected. Ipswitch responded quickly and generously, with the company matching individual contributions 2-to-1. A total of $40,500 were donated through CARE. CARE just sent an update on the important progress that they have made in the Sindh, Punjab and KPK provinces, working through 17 local partners. Ipswitch’s dollars have been part of the pool that has helped CARE provide healthcare services, tents, food rations, hygiene education, jerry cans, safe drinking water, shawls and mats to over 285,000 people, including almost 118,000 children. More work remains — CARE’s goal is to help 500,000 people affected by or displaced as a result of the emergency. The good news overall is that 96 percent of displaced people have returned home to rebuild their lives. They need all the assistance that they can get, so please continue to donate to the Ipswitch-CARE partnership. For more details, please view the PDF CARE Pakistan Flood Emergency update.
