“Just when I was losing hope…”
My name is Haq Nawaz and I come from Mohalla Doda in Union Council Shinkiari of District Mansehra. I am 35 years old, married with two daughters and a son.
In 1995 I had a bad road accident which left both my lower limbs paralyzed. Before the accident, I was working at a shop and earning about four thousand Rupees a month. It was not much but we tried to make ends meet. Whatever little savings we had were spent on my treatment, and I did not have enough to support my family. Times were tough for my family and the future looked bleak.
'The New Bedadi Village has changed our lives forever…'
A Housing Project for 40 Earthquake Affected Families in District Mansehra
When the 2005 earthquake struck Pakistan, thousands lost their lives, family and friends, their homes and their livelihoods. It was an accepted fact that despite overwhelming support and funding from within Pakistan and the international community, recovering from such a huge tragedy was going to be a slow and painful process.
'The new Bedadi Village Project has secured my children's future'
"I am Muzammil Khan, a 60 year old man from District Mansehra. Before the earthquake I was working in a factory as a security guard in Lahore, while my family of five was living in Bedadi village, in a rented house. I had three sons two of them worked at a bakery shop in Balakot and we were living a prosperous life. Bedadi was never a well-established village; there were no proper facilities, which met the requirements of daily life. There were no health and education facilities in that village and there was no proper system for water and sanitation.
Disability Resource Center
Background
CAMP established the Disability Resource Center (DRC) in Mansehra, Khyber Pukhtunkhwa in 2007. The DRC is the first of its kind information sharing/advocacy/service coordination centre in the province. The Project supports an outreach programme to identify disabled children and adults, provide community based rehabilitation services and refer them on to NGO-run prosthetic/orthotic and other rehabilitation units established in the area post earthquake.
"This was the best gift I could ever get"
"I am Zaib un Nissa, a 25 year old girl living in Shinkai, District Mansehra. My story is not unusual; I got polio at the age of five and the disease affected both my lower limbs.
I live with my parents and use a simple wheel chair for going out of the house. At home, I have gotten used to moving around on my hands.
In 2007, staff from CAMP came to our village. They told us about the Disability Resource Centre, a project set up by CAMP and funded by the Leonard Cheshire Disability (LCD).
