2006
In February of 2006, members of the New Apostolic Church in the Pennsylvania district collected significant amounts of winter clothing for the victims of the severe earthquake which took place in the Kashmir region of Pakistan at the end of 2005. The WRF funded the shipping and customs charges to transport these supplies to Pakistan. The shipments were cleared as emergency relief donations and provided to the affected population in Kashmir.
2010
Project Size: $20,000
Heavy monsoon rains which began in July 2010 caused widespread and devastating flooding in Pakistan. With crops destroyed and property swept away, more than 20 million people were estimated to be directly affected by the aftermath. On behalf of the international New Apostolic Church, New Apostolic Church Canada coordinated various local relief projects, ranging from food & water assistance to rebuilding projects. The WRF supported this joint international effort via a humanitarian grant.
