AWARD started its rehabilitation program with the flood-affected marginalized families of Khairpur, Sindh. The program began with 180 families from six rural areas of District Khairpur and later added 100 families. The families have been made resilient through disaster risk reduction training and Microgrants to encourage women to initiate businesses to get back to their lives; sessions to prevent dengue and malaria; sessions to discourage early-age marriages for girls; vocational training for young, dropout, unskilled girls; and reconstrucción or renovation of the damaged houses.
Due to the arrival of more rain and flooding this season in 2024. AWARD has added 6 rural areas to its tally and has initiated a Disaster Risk Management Project with the communities of these areas in Khairpur. AWARD is also going to distribute immediate relief to those communities that have been severely affected by these rains. Also, it has initiated Disaster Risk Reduction Training among the flood-affected communities and has strived hard to make communities resilient to floods. The team also organized a one-day training on kitchen gardening with the women. The training will help women sustain their livelihoods after floods and also improve their nutrition.
AWARD is thankful to all the donors and supporters who have provided great support to the flood-affected communities. Additionally, AWARD would like to strongly request all donors to continue helping the communities because there is a great need.
