Helping Out

Through the generosity of various organizations and individuals paavima.org has been able to come to the aid of the people of Madiha. However, there is still much to be done to ensure the support brought to this hurting community has a long term effect.

You can help the effort by donating whatever you can. Whether you can donate $2.00 dollars or $2,000.00 we applaud your generosity of spirit and thank you. But besides money, a donation of time and effort could go a long way in helping us make a difference.
