Devastating Floods in Pakistan – Support the Appeal!

By now you will know there has been devastating floods in western Pakistan affecting about 20 million people.

Long term stability in the region is at risk as millions are homeless and widespread damage to crops puts food supplies in jeopardy. The United Nations reported this week that three and a half million children and infants are at high risk of disease from dirty water.

The Virgin Group is coming together to support the people of Pakistan, and you can help too.
