Marriages were arranged through the courtesy of ContactPakistan. Seven were

Education support to Orphan children
With the help of Raasta Foundation we started to support of 66 orphans in 2005.
We wanted to support 100 orphans initially. But with passage of time, more and
more brothers/sisters came forward to help orphans. The fourth installment was
distributed among 207 children in March 2008. We wanted to stop inducting more
orphans in this program. But with the support of 50 orphans from
Contact Pakistan Community and 50 by The Lady Fatemah Charitable trust
London, 7 more by Raasta foundation and other brothers the total no has swelled
to 291. We plan to stop at the figure of 300 orphans support. During 2008 we
increased stipend from Rs. 100 per month to Rs. 200 per month per child. We
have already distributed 5 six monthly installments and sixth installment will be
distributed in March 2009.
College / University support to poor/orphan Talented students.
We are supporting poor needy students for college / Univ. education. In that we pay them
Rs. 1000 per month after selecting them through a test conducted after announcement
of Matric results every year. We supported 4 students in 2005, 6 in year 2006, 13 in
year 2007 and 15 in year 2008. Thus up till now we have supported 38 students.
4 are in Universities rest in colleges.
Skill Development / Training
In order to impart skill to these village boys for earning their livelihood, we got two boys
trained in PITAC Lahore in repair of refrigerators and Air conditioners.
We have 7 skill Development centers in which 112 Girls are learning handcraft + clothes
stitching.
Water Supply Schemes
Following water supply schemes were completed during 2008.
We have completed Water supply scheme village Riati. That was pending since long due
to many local reasons. The water was struck at 45 feet and bore developed to 85 feet
depth. In this village women folk had to walk 2 Kms down the hill to fetch the water on
their heads up the hill. After completion of the bore a 95 year old lady of the village
remarked.
“I am thankful to these unknown people who got us water, that was right under our feet.
I spent all my youth bringing water from 1 Km down the hill on my head thus traveling
2 Kms for every pitcher. It was most agonizing part of my life and of the life of all the
ladies of these 20 families that live here. My youth cannot be brought back but our
children will be spared of this donkey work. Our men have been so heartless to our
suffering, they could have pool resources for collective good but they never came out of
their petty differences, jealousy and mistrust. They never cared for us, the women, who
are their mothers, sisters and daughters. May Allah bless all those who took part in this
work.”
During the month of May we completed Water bore at village Damakka – Nara.
It was donated by Maj Gen ® Hamid Hassan Butt and Col ® Khan Nazir.
One hand pump sponsored by The Lady The lady Bibi Fatima (A.S.) Charitable
Trust, UK was installed in village Mairlan. Water was struck at the depth of 180
feet in a mountainous village where people had to walk many Kms to get water.
The advantage of this hand pump is that it is located near to two schools.
That will help he little children to get water.
Hand pump was given in locality Dakhan in village Khoyan to pump water to their houses
from down below.
One hand pump was successful in village Kalanda with the help of an anonymous brother.
Another water supply scheme in upper Bagla was completed with the help of
“The Lady Bibi Fatima (A.S) Charitable Trust London”.
Water supply scheme Chirala was completed by providing them 3000 feet HDP
Pipe. This was sponsored by an anonymous brother.
Water supply scheme in village Fateh Abad was completed by providing them 500
feet HDP Pipe. This was sponsored by an anonymous brother.
