Breaking Chains of Poverty in Sindh

Nearly 45% of Sindh’s population lives in poverty, with rural areas hit hardest. But hope is rising.

Together, we can uplift Sindh—creating opportunity, dignity, and a future where no child sleeps hungry.

80%

Addressing Educational Gaps in Sindh

In Sindh, approximately 80% of schools lack basic facilities such as clean drinking water, electricity, and functional washrooms. This infrastructural deficit hampers student attendance and learning outcomes. However, with targeted investments and community engagement, there’s a promising path forward to enhance educational access and quality across the province.

78%

Bridging the Healthcare Divide

In Sindh, approximately 78% of the population relies on private healthcare, indicating significant deficiencies in public health services. This reliance is often due to inadequate infrastructure, shortages of medical staff, and lack of essential medicines in public facilities. Rural areas are particularly affected, with many residents facing long distances to reach healthcare centers. However, initiatives like the Sindh Integrated Health and Population Project aim to revitalize the healthcare system, offering hope for equitable access to quality medical services across the province.

When We Teach, We Transform

On 15th August 2024, DOHEL (Development Organization for Human Empowerment & Learning) conducted a meaningful educational support activity at Shah Panjo village in Mehar. The initiative was designed to promote learning, engagement, and encouragement among primary-level students in a rural, underserved community.

The activity involved the active participation of DOHEL team members, local educators, and community volunteers. A key highlight of the event was the distribution of learning materials, including notebooks, pencils, school bags, and storybooks. Over 80 primary-level students from Government Primary School Shah Panjo received these essential supplies, aimed at supporting their academic journey and reducing the financial burden on families.

In addition to distribution, the DOHEL team conducted interactive classroom sessions focused on basic literacy, numeracy, and storytelling to create an enjoyable and participatory learning environment. Children were encouraged to express themselves, ask questions, and engage in playful learning activities. These sessions not only boosted their confidence but also helped teachers identify the students’ learning levels and needs.

Teachers and parents appreciated the initiative, noting that such activities bring motivation and renewed interest in education among students. The DOHEL team also discussed ways to improve classroom participation and emphasized the importance of consistent school attendance.

Overall, the activity successfully contributed to strengthening educational engagement at the grassroots level. DOHEL remains committed to continuing such efforts in remote areas like Shah Panjo to ensure that every child receives the right to quality education and learning support.

A mobile medical camp was successfully organized in Thatta to provide essential healthcare services to patients in remote and underserved areas. The initiative aimed to bridge the gap between healthcare facilities and rural communities by bringing medical assistance directly to their doorsteps. A fully equipped mobile medical unit, staffed with a team of experienced doctors, nurses, and volunteers, visited several villages around Thatta, ensuring that even those in the farthest locations had access to basic.

During the camp, over 300 patients, including children, women, and elderly individuals, received free consultations, checkups, and treatment for common illnesses such as fever, respiratory infections, skin diseases, gastrointestinal issues, malnutrition, and blood pressure problems. The medical team also distributed free medicines and provided valuable guidance on personal hygiene, nutrition, maternal and child health, and preventive practices. Health awareness sessions were conducted to educate the community on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and recognizing symptoms that require medical attention.

The mobile camp was met with a very positive response from the local population, many of whom lack access to nearby healthcare facilities. Patients expressed gratitude for the care provided at their doorstep without any financial burden. The success of the camp highlighted the urgent need for such outreach initiatives and emphasized the importance of organizing mobile medical services regularly to improve healthcare access in rural Thatta.
