Dr. Mubina Interviews AJK Community Leader

By Ambereen Siddiqui | Director - HOPE USA

Dear HOPE Friends,

Dr. Mubina Interviews Azad Kashmir Community Leader/Motivator, Mr. Fazil

In HOPE Team's recent trip to the Northern Areas , HOPE Pakistan Chairperson, Dr. Mubina interviewed community figure/leader/motivator, Mr. Fazil, about the changes he has personally witnessed since HOPE introduced Health and Education services to the underserved populations in Azad Kashmir .

This conversation has been captured in the accompanying video :

Main Takeaways:

  • HOPE introduced Education and Healthcare to the Azad Kashmir region in 2014. Prior to this, the impoverished village populations did not have access to either quality Healthcare or Education and as a result, illiteracy and poor health (especially high Maternal and Infant Mortality) abounded in the region.

 

  • In remote regions such as Azad Kashmir , the closest government-sponsored facilities for the poor are located in the main town (often at distances over two hours away) which itself becomes a significant barrier to accessing timely care, especially in health emergencies . Similarly, the poor road and weather conditions affect villagers on a daily basis because the closest schools are located in the main districts and children cannot traverse such distances safely on a routine basis.

 

  • By establishing six Maternal and Child Health Centers in the Northern Areas of Pakistan alone, HOPE has been able to provide quality healthcare to underserved village populations, especially with regards to the curtailing the burgeoning Maternal and Infant Mortality Rates. Our MCHC facilities are equipped with birthing provisions so that mothers ‍ can deliver their children into the world in a safe environment. Most of our MCHCs in the Northern Areas are operating 24/7 and our impact exceeds 200,000 villagers per year.

 

  • With regards to education in the Northern Areas , HOPE has revived the underutilized concept of Home Schools in Pakistan , in which children can access the regularity and routine of a proper school setting right within their own villages . Our Home School network in Azad Kashmir spans approximately 40 schools and benefits 2,000 disadvantaged children, 80 percent of whom are girls who face tougher barriers to accessing education .

We wish to express our gratitude to Mr. Fazil for his gracious acknowledgment of HOPE's efforts and for detailing the impact that he has personally witnessed over the past 10 years. We are extremely appreciative of his role in the community in encouraging literacy and progress in terms of saving lives and changing generations .

Of course this could not be possible without the support of God and our dedicated donors whose contributions make this possible. Our entire HOPE team prays that your kind charity helps to alleviate any and all hardships that you may be facing.

Warm regards,

The HOPE USA , HOPE UK , and HOPE Pakistan Teams
