The NGO World (Pakistan) launched its services by responding devastating floods 2010 in Pakistan and supported the affected people through provision of relief items, food, WASH facilities, rehabilitation of schools, revival of livelihood, construction of homes and won appreciation & acknowledgements at all levels. As a step forward it has started working on regular programs including poverty alleviation, educational support and youth leadership development.
Since 2011 our beneficiaries list has crossed the figure 300,000
Zafar Iqbal Founder/Executive Director
The NGO World Foundation-Pakistan Central office: 20-G, Shah Rukn-e-Alam Colony,
Sobaywala was a village of UC kotla Haji shah of District Layyah
comprising of 500 families. During the devastating floods 2010 almost
half of the populations lost their house along with land due to erosion.
Affected families were living in borrowed homes of landlords where they
were continuously under mental and social stress especially women and
children were facing hardships. TNW identified such families and put
efforts to resettle them. The houses were built on a single shared location
(kukar wala) like a small village with other requirements especially
proper sewerage and arrangements for clean water. The name to this
small village is given as" Light House Village" because whole project
is funded by light House Association of our brother country Turkey
25
TNW initiatives in WASH sector in flood affected
areas.
Latrines and Hand Pumps: In district Layyah, 22
permanent latrines with essential sanitation were
constructed in those schools which were missing
such facilities. Hand pumps were also installed in
these schools. These facilities were helpful to the
poor young students to have proper sanitation and
drinking water source. In Basti Light House Layyah,
TNW built 30 latrines and laid underground proper
low cost sanitation system.
Awareness Raising: Our WASH team continuously
remained active in raising awareness about proper
health, hygiene and sanitation among the illiterate
affected communities. Purpose was to keep these
people safe from diseases. TNW in collaboration
with National Commission for Human Development
(NCHD) established Adult Literacy Centers in
khanewal and Layyah districts. 175 female learners
were enrolled to learn reading and writing skills
Free Health Services: During and after the floods
affected people especially women and children face
serious health issues. It was routine activity of TNW
to hold medical camps in flood areas and provide
facility of free check up & free medicines to the
poor. Thousands patients cases were treated for
different types of diseases.
Psycho Social Care to Affected People: In Layyah
TNW with support of two organizations “HANDS”
and “Basic Need” completed a pilot project of
providing psycho social care to the 100 mentally ill
people especially due to stress of disaster.
Medicine from DWW Turkey: Doctors Worldwide
(Turkey) sent us a huge consignment of medicines
for flood affected people. These medicines reached
thousands of poor affected patients through
professional volunteers of PIMA (Pakistan Islamic
Medical Association).
26
Support for Livestock Farmers: Rajanpur: TNW distributed
fodder seed for livestock farmers of Rajanpur. Seed of multi-cut
grass (SSG) for 2000 acres is distributed among 1860 flood
affected small livestock farmers.
Marriage Gifts to Affected Brides: It is our local tradition that
poor village women collect dowry (Jahez) items since the birth of
girls so that they may not face any problem at the time of her
marriage. During the floods many girls whose marriage dates
were already fixed lost their jahez. Their parents were under
severe stress to arrange it again. Feeling the need TNW prepared
jahez packages for 30 brides. These packages were delivered at
their home without damaging their integrity. Packages contain 28
different items including clothes, shoes, blankets, mattress,
kitchen accessories etc.
Wheat Flour Distribution: During floods 2010, affected families
lost their stored wheat. As wheat flour is main food for the
affected people so it was big nutritional problem for them to face.
Keeping in view the fact TNW distributed 15000 KG of wheat
flour among 750 affected families
Sharing Eid Greetings: Eid is a Muslim festival that is celebrated
all over the world. TNW team celebrates eid days among the
disaster affected people and distribute gifts among most
vulnerable and neglected segments of society especially women
and children. During floods 2010 the time when a vast majority
of population in the flood affected area was homeless and needed
our support to move on. At that time of sheer distress and
desperation TNW distributed eid gifts amongst the flood affected
families and celebrated the event together with them so as to let
them know that we stand together with them in their difficult
times.
27
Alhamdulillah
TNW has completed the
reconstruction of Jamia Masjid in
Basti Chan (ghazi ghat tehsil kotadu
district Muzaffargarh) with 600
person’s capacity to offer namaz. This
masjid was totally damaged during
the heavy floods 2010

RIDA Girl’s education & skills
30
RIDA stands for “Required Initiatives for Daughter’s Access”. Under this program TNW takes
need based initiatives for the girls to provide them services at their door step which are essential for
their educational, vocational and health related requirements. Before taking the initiative, we conduct
need assessment surveys and set priorities for the girl’s social needs in the target areas. After that with
a comprehensive, well planned and integrated approach, activities are designed with the valuable
input from all concerned local stakeholders.
RIDA Mahnisayal; a case study Mahnisyal is a village between khanewal and Multan with population over 25000. For girls, there are
educational facilities but maximum up to matriculation level. After matriculation only affording
families can send their daughters to the cities for getting higher education while poor girls sit at home
although having talent and hope in their mind. Feeling the need, TNW with participation of local
stakeholders took initiatives and arranged RIDA center to provide these daughters an opportunity to
continue their educational journey in their reach with standard but affordable.
Here 90 girls are getting education above matriculation level. Some of these are those girls
who have restarted their education as they had terminated the process after completing 10th
class a few years back due to unavailability of local facility and resources to move to nearby
cities for this purpose.
RIDA Mahnisyal support includes:
1. Regular classes under qualified female teachers
2. Computer lab with internet facility
3. Registration with board and examination facility
4. Professional teaching course exam preparation
5. Extracurricular activities/visits for learning
6. Life skills and awareness sessions
In recent FA/FSc examinations, a RIDA
student won third position from the whole
district Khanewal while secured 1st position
at tehsil level. TNW arranged a grand prize
distribution ceremony to acknowledge the
efforts of teachers & management and
appreciate the students.
Remarkable achievement

YOUTH Leadership DEVELOPEMENT
32
Pakistan indeed is a young country as it has a large population that can be
categorized as falling within the UN’s definition of youth. An estimated 103 million Pakistanis, or 63%
of the population, fall under the age of 25 years. UNDP’s report points out that the proportion of
people under the age of 30 years is 68% of the total population of the country from which 37% youth
is illiterate, 71% of youth doesn’t receive career counseling at school, 28% finds curriculum irrelevant
to the job market, 47% don’t have sports facilities in their localities and 23% youth want to start their
own business but not supported at all. The youth is the most valuable asset for a country’s sustainable
socio-economic, cultural and political development but in Pakistan, youth is professed to be a problem
rather than a resource to be developed.
Under this program, TNW aims to play role of its part
and prepare a cadre of youth which can contribute
positively towards a dream Pakistan. Our focus is on
the following aspects regarding youth leadership
development;
To promote youth social entrepreneurship
Youth life coaching initiatives
Youth engagement in social services
Youth professionalism and capacity building
Our so far efforts include;
Youth Convention 2011
Youth Social Entrepreneurship Workshop
2011
Youth Life Coaching Program 2013 with basic
theme;
LEARNING-EARNING-SERVING
Under this program TNW also provide
uniforms, stationary, books and assist in
paying tuition fee to the deserving students.
We supported 2464 students of 30
institutions who lost everything in flood
2010. It includes 12846 support items of
25 different types.
