The Children of Pakistan

Need Our Help

The earthquake left many children without parents and many of those also

suffered the loss of limbs. Feed The Children (UK) wanted to help and with

fundraising support from a group in Appleton Oxfordshire we were able to

help 12 children. Aged then between 1 and 7 years. Each child will receive

orthotic and prosthetic treatments until they are aged 17 years..

Brother and sister Ghulam and Saima lost eight members of their family

in the Pakistan earthquake of 2005. On top of that, they each had serious

injuries that resulted in amputation. Saima lost her left foot, and Ghulam,

almost his whole left leg.

Abdullah also lost a leg in the earthquake - and both his parents. He has

been adopted by an uncle. Thanks to the generosity of a group of

supporters in Appleton, Oxfordshire, these and many other children who

were injured in the earthquake have received the medical treatments they

need; a prosthetic limb and training in how to walk again.

They will also receive a replacement limb each year, as they grow, and

ongoing support.Can you help? There are many more children in need of

help. No child is turned away - we are also helping those with congenital

deformities, and those who have had accidents or illnesses like polio

- but there is a long waiting list.

Bibi, Hamza and Neelam - these and many more children have been

provided with prosthetic limbs and other support, following the

Pakistan earthquake.
