Current Living Condition
There are no schools or health care centers nearby. Children cannot go to school, and people face near-death conditions since the nearest hospital is in Karachi, more than 125 km away. The sanitation system is in poor condition. There are no proper roads and no access to clean water. The nearest school is 2 km away and caters to Grade 5 only. The school building is damaged and does not meet minimum safety standards. Thus school enrollment is below 30%, and only 10% of children complete their primary education. Water is a big challenge since villagers don’t have access to clean water. Usually, women and young girls travel half a kilometer daily to fill their buckets from the nearest reservoir for domestic and livestock use.
Our Program
The STP International team visited the area and talked to families. The women were robust, resilient, and committed but had serious concerns regarding their current situation. Our program will build 33 permanent brick houses to rehabilitate 33 families. The underlying principle is holistic development: We integrate health, education, livelihoods, and other essentials, such as drinking water, sanitation, energy, land, and water resource management, to improve residents’ quality of life. The villages under this program will be turned into self-sustaining, profit-generating eco-systems with economic and social empowerment primarily focusing on women, children, and young people.
