Social
Harmony and Development Society staff and Board Members are very
active in conducting various activities for the community upliftment,
as soon as we get the funds through
local and international donors, so that the community members take
full advantage of the programs which
Social Harmony and Development
Organization intends to do for their development. Therefore, SHADO
has conducted various activities which are
mentioned as below for information
and record;
Social
Harmony
Social Harmony and Development Organization is very keen to
create Social Harmony among the communities living together,
therefore, for such
reason we managed to conduct various
programs in different areas of Sialkot, and invited renowned and
like minded persons as Chief Guest of the
programs and the guest actively
participated in the program and delivered valuable speeches which
the touched the hearts of the participants.
SHADO, is quite confident that
through Social Harmony Program we will bring change in the thinking
of the communities living since long together.
Social Harmony and Development Organization have made
various organizations as its members who have included the subject
of
Social Harmony in there objective and
now actively working on this subject to create social harmony in the
community within their target areas.
During the program which Social Harmony and Development
Organization nearly 700-participants attended the program in
6-programs, which
we think is a challenge to gather
such a huge crowd in Social Harmony Program from various areas, and
above all the information which we wishes
to spread has reached to almost 700 x
6= 4,200 community members.
Free Health Care Facility For The Poor Community Members
Social Harmony and Development Organization is very thankful
to Texas Christian Community for providing financial assistance to
start Free
Health Care for the poor community of
Aadha community. The management of SHADO started the free clinic in
a small room and paying very
nominal rent which includes the
utility bills. We purchase medicines from various shops who some
times give these medicines on lowest market
rates and some give us as donations.
We also request various medicine making firms for the medicines, who
most graciously provide us medicines
as donations, which we utilize to
fulfill the needs of our community members.
We have hired a qualified MBBS doctor on contract basis, who
thrice a week visit the clinic and check the patients with
commitment and concern.
We have also hired a qualified staff
nurse who usually take care of the clinic and if necessary call
doctor when there is emergency other than the
planed visits of the doctors.
However, the nurse opens the clinic 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM in the
morning and 5:00 PM till 8:00 PM in the evening. To
date we have managed to check nearly
1,500 patients of various diseases and so far distributed medicines
which cost almost RS: 70,000/- which
is a huge amount for a small
organization like SHADO.
Free Books Distribution Program
Social Harmony and Development Organization is also very
concerned for the students who are willing to continue their
education, but due to
financial constraints of the there
parents unable to continue their education. However, we managed to
collect funds for these children and so far
assisted 39 boys and girls by
providing them course books of various grades and now these children
are able to continue their education, and we
are also very happy that these
children are able to continue their education.
Social Harmony and Development Organization does not receive
any funds from any donor, but the funds for the purchase of course
books are
solely collected and contributed by
the Board Members for which we are very thankful to them and hope
that in near future we will continue this
activity and will try to find a
suitable donor for this valuable program.
Free Food Distribution Program
Social Harmony and Development Organization also started Free Food
Distribution Program with the financial assistance of Texas
Christian
Community, USA and through local fund
raising. SHADO managed to support near 41-poor families living below
the poverty line by providing them
food items like, Flour, Pluses,
Spices, Sugar, Cooking Oil, Salt, Tea Leaves, etc. However, the
distribution of food items to these poor community
members is not a proper solution, we
are trying to provide skill training to male and female community
members so that they may be able to earn
some income in a dignified manner and
be able to support their families properly
Women Rights Awareness Programs
Social Harmony and Development Organization is also very
concerned for creating awareness on women rights and for such reason
conducted
7-various programs in this respect.
SHADO is very lucky that its Board Members are very interested in
carrying forward such activity as it helps the
women community to know about their
rights easily and these enlightened women are again used to inform
other community women by forming
various field groups whose
responsibility is to aware other women in their residential areas by
calling small meetings in homes. However, SHADO
is quite keen to keep the Women
Rights Awareness Training Program operative and functional which
really helps the women community to learn
about their rights and for such
reason we will request supporters to help SHADO financially to keep
the program operative.
Street Theater
Social Harmony and Development Organization is using the
tool of Street Theater in such a fashion that community members get
information how to
eradicate social problems in which
they are indulge since long. SHADO has a trained team who conduct
various programs in different areas of
Sialkot on various social issues,
which really helped the organization to keep the community members
aware about the good and bad activities
and even their solution as well.
However, we does not have any funds for such program but still
continuing this program as it is a good tool to
develop and guide the community in a
positive direction.
Rehabilitation of Disabled Children
Social Harmony and Development Organization (SHADO) started
the Rehabilitation of Disabled Children program with the financial
assistance
amounting of Stichting Liliane Fonds,
The Netherlands. The main objective of the program is to provide
operation, braces facilities to the children in
which all the expenses are bared by
the organization, and even provide school fees the disabled children
who are attending school regularly and
wishes to continue there education.
SHADO has provided operation facility to four children, Income
Generation Support to one disabled children,
braces to 5-disabled children and
school fees to almost 7-children. The program is being implemented
very professionally and the services being
provided to the disabled children
were according to the health standards. SHADO is very positive in
expanding the program and wishes to support
a larger number of disabled children
and will request our donor to help and assist SHADO to continue its
program.
