Relief
Shelter Drive is
a purely grassroots initiative undertaken by a group
of individuals in the US, UK and Pakistan. These young
professionals and graduate students are committed
to using their networks to channel monetary and in-kind
donations of shelter in a timely fashion through carefully
selected channels.
In
the United States, tax-exempt donations can be made
towards Relief Shelter Drive through the registered
501(c)(3) organization Association for the Development
of Pakistan (ADP).
Donations
outside of the U.S. can be made directly to the registered
organization Education for Human Development (see
payment options for more details).
