This is under the early recovery assistance to the IDP of SAFWCO DRR sector the project main objection is to contribute and assist on the recovery of flood affected families .Project intervention will focus on water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH) and shelter support   in the returnee villages of District Jamshoro, Sindh, Pakistan.

Shelter support project is what the IDP needed most because some of those IDP were  completely wash out, with this  shelter support they can again built up what ever  left  in their houses.

The Road Gladdens the Obsessed Ghost

 There is a saying, " Man by nature has no satisfaction" we human being always finds something is missing or feeling incomplete. It's like when ever we see opportunity we sometimes think of consideration even though we had have enough opportunity in hands. Yes everyone looks for opportunity because good opportunity comes once in a life time.

I consider opportunity as the road to success and because we want to be successful in life that's why sometimes greediness seen obvious in our self, it even sounds like, 

The road gladdens the obsessed ghost.

Oxfam GB Pakistan Consultation meeting with my ORG

I’m glad I was present during the consultation meeting of my ORG with the Oxfam GB Public Health Country Representative by a person of Dr. Kausar Iqbal, Oxfam GB Pakistan is actively working in helping the flood affected families, they always make it sure that the partner NGO is working efficiently in implementing their funded project, and for certainty the vulnerable families will be able to have access to the facilities that they had provided.

 

March 10, 2011 Oxfam Novib Public Health Country Representative and her team visited the project site which is in District Dadu.  Unfortunately I missed the trip because they left from the office earlier and I came a bit late. I hope next time I’ll   be able to visit the project site as well.

My ORG visions, missions and objectives are clear enough to our Donor’s they keep working with us continuously, my ORG works are visible and ultra poor people are beneficiary the most. Project sustainability and quality are primarily considered during project implementation.

Construction of Latrines & bathing facilities in an IDP camps of District Dadu

Construction of latrines and bathing facilities in an IDP camps solve the excretion problem of   internally displaced people (IDP) living in a camps of District Dadu somehow. It brings comfortability  to have a proper place to do the call of nature shall I call it, because if your in a call for excreting it’s hard to ignore this you must give way anyhow considering  camps has no any kind of latrine and water as well. It was indeed an answer prayer to the IDP as it helps those people avoiding possible diseases due to unhygienic living condition and no proper waste disposal too.

Projects such this kind has to be implemented properly and keeping it as one of the main focus aside from water, and food distribution.

Upon the completion of  team Oxfam Novib-ECHOWASH project at last on February 28, 2010 Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) project for the 3 Districts namely, Thatta, Matiari and Khairpur Mir under the financial aid of European Commission on Humanitarian Aid & Civil Protection (ECHO) through Oxfam Novib in partnership with my NGO   conducted a project orientation to the whole team. The General Manager of Disaster Disk Reduction (DRR)   was the resource person; he welcomes every one on board and invited our CEO as our guest speaker and inspirational talks as well.

The primary objection of the project is to provide water, sanitation and hygiene   facilities to the 17,000 flood affected families of Sindh province. Installation of hand pumps and water purification are under water supplement activities.  Environmental cleaning, proper wage management, installation of pit latrines and bathing places are the main concerns of sanitation work plan.  Personal hygiene and hygiene awareness campaigns are conducted by the Public Health Promoter to enhance the knowledge and awareness of the flood affected people of Thatta, Matiari and Khairpur Mir. 

It was a fruitful event, DRR GM had brought up the projects title, target beneficiary, objectives, duration, responsibilities of public health promoter (PHP), public health engineer (PHE), introduction of Project District Manager, and clarification of other related issues to the projects during question and answer session. 

The meeting lasted more or less 5 to 6 hours and every one concerns was addressed and cleared.  The District Managers had finalized the staff and the PHP are now ready to go for the field works as well.  Good luck to the whole team of Oxfam Novib-ECHO WASH project.
