Support Pakistan's Disaster Affected Communities

Dear CDRS Friends, 
 
My team and I have served Pakistan for a decade with great dedication and a proven track record of dedicated achievement and financial transparency. Please take a few minutes of your time to check the photo and video links below to see our achievements and latest missions.

CDRS is working for the betterment of Pakistan's neglected communities by harnessing the energy of Pakistan's Youth and the expertise of wonderful volunteers and supporters like you. There are so many other ways to help CDRS make a positive impact. For example, a few donors are partnering with CDRS to launch and manage health facilities in their ancestral villages or remote areas in tribute to their Parents or loved ones who have passed on, others are making commitments of their time to join us as volunteers, sharing knowledge and skills which can be of great service to Pakistan. CDRS can provide the logistical support and the canvas with which you can paint your own Humanitarian masterpiece.

My team and I are so thankful to our Family of Supporters for believing in us and for providing the resources and opportunity to deliver aid, comfort and medical care to more than 100,000 people who desperately needed us in 2015, and more than 2 million people in the last decade. We were able to do this amazing work thanks to our fast-growing network of friends and donors who believe in CDRS, including so many wonderful individuals and great organizations who supported CDRS projects and missions in 2015- Imran Khan Foundation, APPNA, UK Medical Aid to Pakistan, United Muslim Relief, The Islamic Medical Association of North America, Free Kissan Free Pakistan, Rehabilitation Response, Naya Qadam, GlobalGiving. GlobalGiving UK, Association of Pakistani Physicians and Surgeons of the United Kingdom, Project Pakistan, and Pakistan Society of North Texas (PSNT).
 
We are especially grateful to our friends and volunteers who went the extra mile in so many ways or brought together their families, friends and communities to host CDRS events to help fund our good works in 2015.

Whether we were in Bannu to assist citizens who fled the fighting in N. Waziristan, in Karachi to serve at Abbasi Shaheed Hospital during the Heat Emergency, in Shangla and Jabori after the October 26th Earthquake or in Northern Swat at our Mother & Child Health Center, all of you were there with us in our hearts and in our mission on every day of 2015.

Dear CDRS Friends and Supporters,

On May 1 2015, CDRS successfully completed a mission begun in July 2014 to support the overburdened healthcare system in District Bannu in partnership with Imran Khan Foundation (IKF) and the KPK Health Department. The IKF and CDRS joint mission adopted the Ghori Wala Rural Health Center and the The Pediatric Care Unit at Women & Children Teaching Hospital in Bannu in collaboration with the Pakistan Pediatric Association.

IKF and CDRS outfitted these facilities with new medical equipment, provided a continuous supply of much needed medicines, upgraded and repaired electrical wiring and crumbling infrastructure, and bolstered existing staff with additional doctors and medical personnel to address the needs of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and Locally Affected Persons (LAPs) brought on by the conflict in North Waziristan.

Our Mobile Health Units (MHUs) monitored the health status and needs of the communities residing in and around District Bannu, visiting over 100 villages and camps in 43 union councils. The MHUs delivered first aid and primary healthcare and helped prevent and treat infectious diseases for communities who do not have access to adequate basic health services. In summer the weather is extremely hot in Bannu and extremely cold in the winter. Children, pregnant mothers and the elderly are extremely vulnerable in these difficult conditions, so we focused on serving them. From July 6 2014 to May 1 2015, CDRS medical staff provided free care and medicines to 115,130 suffering Human Beings.

We look forward to continuing to serve those in need with you support.

Best Regards,

Todd Shea
