Join TeamCAFOD for the Great North Run 2024 to support those living in poverty around the world.

You will be helping people like Sultana:

Sultana, aged 40yrs, lives in a shack with her husband, Ghulam and five children opposite their home that was damaged during the floods in 2022.

She was able to receive medical attention for her children who suffered from malnutrition and skin infections at a mobile health unit set up by CAFOD, as part of the Pakistan flood appeal, and get medicine at no cost

Sultana and her family are unable to afford meat or fruits due to high inflation which resulted in Ayra, aged 10yrs, to become malnourished. She was able to receive medical attention at CAFOD's mobile health unit and made a full recovery.

Trucks in Pakistan are elaborately decorated to celebrate local culture - people, places, events and stories. The DEC worked with Pakistani truck artist Ali Salman Anchan to tell the stories of flood survivors, recognising their courage and resilience, including Sultana's daughter Ayra.
