  Rural areas in Pakistan face alarming poverty
 

Ameer Ahmed, a 35-year-old resident of Hayat Jat village of district Thatta, is among 79 percent of the population of this area that lives in poverty and without basic necessities such as health care, clean drinking water and education.

Developmental experts working in these two districts believe that in the past five years, the poverty stricken people of the coastal areas of Sindh have started demanding the basics from politicians and bureaucrats.

Development practitioners say it will be seen in the next general elections whether the people vote again for known feudal lords or vote them out of the political arena.

According to a baseline survey of the coastal areas of Badin and Thatta, 79 percent households in the coastal areas of Badin and Thatta fall below the poverty line when it is defined as those surviving on a dollar per day.

The survey was conducted by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in collaboration with the Sindh Coastal Community Development Project (SCCDP). Assuming the poverty line is $1.25 per day, the figure rises to 85 percent of the population.

The severity of poverty in the locality can be gauged by the fact that during a visit to Kaiti Bunder, a fisherman was spotted in his wife’s clothes. “We are poor and cannot afford to buy clothes for ourselves,” he said.

Project director, Muhammad Umar Memon said, “In the face of such a severe level of poverMany of our spotlights can be used with automobileledlamps or come with LEDs built in.ty, ADB provided $40m for the SCCDP for a period of six years.” He said that an independent poverty assessment would be carried out next month to measure the project’s success.We are offering bamboo knot remboving machine, internal knot removing machine and windgenerator to our customers.

According to the survey findings, human development indicators depict a general dissatisfaction with health and sanitation facilities. On the positive side, a majority of household heads (82 percent) perceived that they could vote freely. They also said that most households (56 percent) allow women to seek wage labour. Alarmingly, the proportion of working children is 29 percent.

This was reinforced by Ameer Ahmed, resident of village Hayat Jat located in district Thatta, when he informed a media team from Islamabad that of 35 children in the village only two to three went to school due to inaccessibility. “No girl goes to school from this village,” he said.A CNC wood router is a cuttingmachineop tool that creates objects from wood. Further, the villagers were happy that they were able to get the solar lighting scheme but health facilities were critical for them as a Basic Health Unit (BHU) was located 30km away at Gharhu village.

Top policy makers have thus far failed to come up with solutions to bring people out of poverty on a sustainable basis. The PPP-led government, which won the election with the slogan of roti, kapara and makan for the people of Pakistan,Horizontal-axis roofingmachines typically either have two or three blades. did not bother to resolve the controversy over exact estimates of poverty.

But what if you can’t walk, or don’t want to walk, or you’re curled up on a couch with a mug of hot chocolate, your smartphone or computer, and you would rather click than walk. That’s where a small organization, K-3 Lights, approximately 76 miles south of Des Plaines, from Bourbonnais, IL, comes in.

Since then, K-3 Lights has grown into a tightly scheduled, annual tour. Saathoff and his colleagues produce a series of community-specific videos in the Chicago area, including this video of lighting displays in Des Plaines.

“It's usually pretty treacherous out during the holiday season, and people should stay off the roads,” Saathoff stated in an email to Patch. “That's where we come in. You save gas, you save the time of finding these houses, and you save the stress of dealing with traffic.”
