International community seems quite eager to participate in the fund as they are fully conscious of the significance of dams. The goal is also achievable as uttered by Imran Khan. "If every overseas Pakistani donates $1,000, we will have enough to build the dams ourselves," he said in his address to the nation.


I will personally take part in the fund and I request all the Pakistanis to take part in it. Our mother is thirsty and we need to have her thirst quenched. I will contribute $1000 as early as possible, another overseas exquisitely explained.


Indeed it is a matter of pride that the entire nation is united for a common cause. It is evident on everyone that the amount that has been collected at this time is quite low, but the hopes are quite high. The mission can be achieved but through multiple sources.

As Imran Khan formed the joint fund and has appealed the Pakistani nation now there are ample chances that a huge sum of money will acquired and whole-hearted contribution is expected. From overseas Pakistanis, response is quite striking and worth praising.

An overseas Pakistani when inquired about PM Imran Khan’s plead regarding accumulation of money in the fund, she said we should enthusiastically participate in the fund. It is our national cause rather personal one.

Another said that Imran Khan has acknowledged the right thing, and I request every Pakistani to take part in the fund.

I will personally take part in the fund and I request all the Pakistanis to take part in it. Our mother is thirsty and we need to have her thirst quenched. I will contribute $1000 as early as possible, another overseas exquisitely explained.


Every Pakistani should try his best to solve this issue which direly needs our attention. Saqlain Mushtaq, well acclaimed cricket star, was attending the event in New York and pledged to contribute in the fund. He said everyone is quite inspired and is donating more and more. Some are contributing $1000, others $5000 and some even $10,000 which is quite heartening and this is how the ultimate objective will be gained.

Another cricket star, Kamran Akmal said Captain’s call should be answered. It is our national duty to take part in development of Pakistan. It is Khan’s vision to do the best for country and we should support him.


Not only overseas Pakistanis are zealously looking to contribute in the fund, but national players are also inspiring each other to take part in it. The matter of the fact is that everyone should contribute in the dam fund no matter how minimal the amount is.
