ProjectsSupporting Afghan Refugees in Pakistan Due to failing security situation in Afghanistan and the persecution of our active members by warlords and Islamist extremists, we have temporarily withdrawn some of our projects and have decided to assist Afghan refugee women and children with their basic education in Pakistan. After the downfall of Taliban regime in 2001, almost all the aid organizations moved their projects inside Afghanistan, bBut 50% of Afghan refugees still live in Pakistan. Neither NGOs nor government assists refugees in their education. So all refugee schools operate on self financial basis by taking fees from students. There are many Afghan refugee children who are not able to afford their education, so Nazari Foundation has dedicated a part of its fund for refugee children and women in Pakistan. 21 May 2011 |
Schools and CentresWaraqa Primary School Adult Literacy The main purpose of our adult literacy program is to assist women in remote rural areas. We have already started working on this project. This program will take 18-24 months in each village. At the end of their course, participants will have acquired the following skills:
Health CareThe board has postponed commencement of our health programs until the end of 2009 because of the small size of fund. When they commence, our health programs will aim to educate people about how better to look after themselves. Therefore, we will include"Basic Health Information and Human Biology" as subjects in our adult literacy course. For the women who do not attend adult literacy programs, we will hold weekly and monthly seminars to educate them about their health and cleanliness. Neo-natal Care and MidwiferyBecause there are no maternity centres in remote villages, particularly at the time of childbirth we will assist pregnant women in their homes by providing nursing help. We hope to provide them with birthing kits, medicine and adequate food for babies. For the achievement of these purposes we are going to get a group of nurses and midwives and we will need a mobile clinic. We have started managing this project.

Children's Education
Even where schools are available, there are many orphans, displaced children and other children who cannot afford to go to school and are forced to work. With the co–operation of local schools we assist these children between the ages of six and 16 by providing them with books and stationery. In those isolated and mountainous rural villages where schools are not available, or because of long distance and lack of roads for transportation where children cannot get to school, alongside of our adult literacy programs we will arrange separate classes for children between the age of six and 12. We teach the children Dari, Pashtu, English, mathematics, drawing and general science. We will enable them to start their formal education from the classes according to their age when they become able to go to the schools of neighbouring villages. At least, if they do not meet their formal education they will not be illiterate. Future ProjectsUpon the achievement of our initial programs we will take further steps towards bigger projects such as setting up:
We will have the latest reports of our activities and achievements on our website. Our benefactors are welcome to visit our projects and see where their money is going and for what purpose. |
