  • Trapped children (e.g. in child labour or slavery conditions)

Flood
In 2011 unlike the previous year heavy rains inundated the area of Sindh that is rich in high valued crops and fruits. Most of the cotton belt of the area was destroyed. The water still stands in the field and water logging is adding to the problems. The floods have taken a heavy toll in Sindh due to losses of crops, affecting the economic activities, livestock, shelter and increasing health issues. During the visit by the team on October 15 and 16 it was observed that a large swathe of land was still under water. The water logging in the area is adding to the problems. Access to the peripheral far-end villages is still restricted. The roads connecting the worst affected villages are washed away and inundated. The situation is even further complicated in areas where the local administration with their field functionaries/ workers are part of the affected population or communities hence their contribution for recovery and rehabilitation is compromised.

Health

The situation of child health in Pakistan is abysmal and serious efforts are needed by the government and civil society to save lives of thousands of children who die every year from preventable diseases. This grim picture of the deteriorating child health situation could be seen in the annual health report of the Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) for the year 2011, which says one child dies every minute from EPI .

(expanded program on immunisation diseases), diarrhea and acute respiratory infection (ARI)The report also reveals that every year about 400,000 infants die in the first year of their life. Child health in Pakistan is among the most important national issues that need serious attention. Child mortality in Pakistan is a major cause of concern, with every one among 10 children dying before reaching the age of five and one among 30, just after they are born. Pakistan is among the developing nations of the world that has yet to do much for the welfare of the general public. Pneumonia and air pollution seem to be the factors affecting the health of Pakistani children. The air pollution is mostly caused by harmful emissions of biogas, which is used in most houses of Pakistan.

Education

7 million children between 3-16 yrs , do not attend school. Every child has right to get education . Every 10 mins or Every day a child draughts out of school and the future of another Pakistan will smashed .The reason lack of fund. So your donation will help them to give a child future & reduce literacy

   

Street Children

Statistics reveal that there are close to one million children, labours, about 12 thousands children are forcibly engaged in prostitution and at least seventy five thousands children live on the streets in Pakistan.Let’s donates for a child charity to help and brings this number down.

   

Disable Children

In total 8 million people disable people in Pakistan only 2% are educated, while 1% are employed. No effect is been made to give physically challenged people a better world. So support disable people, give them opportunities to enable them to lead an independent life. Just a small gift of a clutch, hearing aid, Wheel chair, tricycle or Braille, will make a big difference.

Water & Sansation

Provision of safe drinking water, adequate sanitation and personal hygiene are vital for the sustainable environmental conditions and reducing the incidence of diarrhoea, malaria, trachoma, hepatitis A & B and morbidity levels. Not having access to water and sanitation is a courteous expression for a form of deprivation that threatens life, destroys opportunity and undermines human dignity.

Thus, investing in the provision of safe water supply and adequate sanitation is not only a development oriented strategy in itself, it can also yield other socio-economic benefits in terms of improved health status, quality of labour force and reduced burden-of-disease. Water and Sanitation is the neglected sector in Pakistan. Most of the households in Pakistan do not have access to safe drinking water and lack toilets and adequate sanitation systems.
   

Women Empowerment

No nation can rise to the height of glory unless your women are side by side with you; we are victims of evil customs. Gender based discrimination and societal behaviors lading to physical and psychological harassments, emotional violence bordering on cruelly is never scant in woman’s baskets of woes. Social evils begins at the womb with female, infanticides sexual harassments,

rape and dowry related tortures putting an end to her misery only at the tomb. So we educate them for betterment in their life.
   

Child Rights

In Pakistan More than 30% of Pakistan’s population lives below the poverty line where basic needs, especially those of children, remain unfulfilled. Government institutions that can safeguard the rights of children are weak and suffer from mismanagement, bureaucratic apathy, lack of funds and an overall commitment to the social needs of the population.

At the societal level, centuries-old traditions discriminate against women and girls, with long-term consequences on maternal health, female literacy and lack of participation in decision-making. Poverty has created a criminal divide in the society where the plight of poor children goes unmourned.
