Introduction
The Phase I defined in my earlier blog is nearing completion in 13 villages
in the Pono Cluster. This means that major development effort towards
emergency relief, recovery and rehabilitation would have been achieved in
a short of span of 12 weeks.
Beginning in September which included identifying 13 villages, getting
basic information regarding the number of households, lists of households
in each village, determining the strategy of what should comprise Phase I of
adopt a village porgramme, which would ensure that basic necessities for
living become available as well as steps for disaster preparedness.
Co building and Co creation by Communities
The work in all villages is in hand and with the collaborative arrangement
with different village communities, much progress has been made towards
transformation of their own environments.
As I have mentioned in earlier blogs, it is costing a mere Rs.
15,000/household to achieve this amazing progress.
At the same time each village has now become expert in specialized
barefoot products, some of which are being sold in surrounding areas,
among the other poor. Thus, trickle of small amounts of funds for some of
the villages is already happening. There are encouraging reports from some
villages where they are moving forward quite rapidly – the instant shelter
barefoot entrepreneur already able to afford a motorbicycle, some others
able to now get cell phones.

Being with students, and to see their enthusiasm for Pakistan, has been a refreshing experience. I met a number of students on 25th October, led by Syeda Hanniya Kamran and coordinated by Dr. Rihab Khalid. We were fortunate that pro-Vice Chancellor Kamal Munir was also able to attend. The meeting was held in a committee room at West Court, Jesus College, arranged by Lucey Couch, Assistant to Master Sunita Alleyne, OBE.
The meeting had been convened by PakSoc to work out ways to help Pakistan at this juncture. Since they had been considering arranging for fund raisers to send funds for relief and rehabilitation work, and since I don’t believe in charity, I was able to share my alternate point of view.
I believe it is important to provide expression of empathy and solidarity with those who are today in a destitute state. Some funds are always useful if they are provided in a manner to help them towards path of self-reliance, but what is important is to provide opportunity to those interested to provide them to assure the communities of their support.
Among the most important aspects at this time is to provide hand holding, support and encouragement to help them rise above adversity themselves.

I have begun this series in order to develop record of how various karigar villages with their specialized barefoot enterprises are moving forward. As more information is coming in it is good to know that some have begun earning small amounts through their enterprise- some of the income is from subsidized products that Heritage Foundation has supported, but some is also happening because other villages in need of affordable and low cost products.

I am getting regular reports from the villages and it is heartening to note how busy all villagers are in trying to improve their environment. While reports are being prepared on each village’s performance and production capabilities, it is important to discuss the results achieved in relation to the provision of shelter.
