Tax deductible
In response to the current COVID-19 pandemic, Eilya Trust is taking steps to raise money to provide food parcels and medical assistance for the poor and vulnerable in Pakistan. Registered England and Wales Charity Number 1186096

With all the will in the world, the governments of poor countries will need to augment their efforts with charitable help from its citizens and international organisations.  Eilya Trust aims to help fill the void left by any government intervention in Pakistan.  There will be families facing starvation, there will be people who require financial aid for their medical needs, there will be increasing numbers of orphans and widows. Please help us to help them.

60 million people face poverty in Pakistan.  The coronavirus pandemic that is now sweeping the nation will lead to further devastation, injuring the people who are already facing dire financial hardship and health complications.  Pakistan currently has over 8000 confirmed cases (19 April 2020), this figure will unfortunately rise on a massive scale.

Lockdown restrictions, albeit an inevitable necessary precautionary measure, are severely damaging to the disabled, the widows, the elderly, the poor families across the country and those who have lost their jobs.  The fate of Pakistan’s day labourers has been particularly devastating.  These low earners have lost their jobs, their only means of providing food and shelter for their families. 

The Eilya Trust is working with our local partners focussing on Faisalabad, the third most populous city in Pakistan.  We are distributing food and medical parcels to the most vulnerable, primarily targeting, the unemployed, elderly and disabled.  Distribution of  parcels containing essential food items such as flour, rice, lentils, oil and tea has commenced.  Masks, gloves and soap will also be supplied.  In addition,  Eilya Trust will  be providing grants to further the endeavours of our charity partners who are working hard to ease the hardships caused by the pandemic.

Please donate to our appeal today.  Any amount, no matter how small, will help.  Please help us to stop the hunger and keep our vulnerable people safe.  Eilya Trust operates a 100% Donation Policy.  All operating costs are met by the trustees, this means all your donation is used for charitable purposes.

Eilya Trust is a Registered Charity working for the public benefit in the UK and Pakistan. We are dedicated to the prevention of poverty, advancement of education and the relief of needs associated with disability. Registered England and Wales Charity Number 1186096.
