In late 2008, with the financial support from IDEALS-UK, CAMP launched a two year project of Community Midwifery Training in order to train 15 young females from the Khyber Agency, FATA. The objective of the training was to provide the reproductive health services to the deprived and downtrodden communities of FATA at their doorsteps. After successful completion of the CMW course, the top two position holders were given the opportunity to join LHV course. Miss. Anila (first position holder) and Miss. Afsana (second position holder) were the two lucky girls selected for LHV training at Public Health School at Hayatabad, Peshawar.

“Just when I was losing hope…”

Mon, 07/06/2010 - 14:33 — mmtahir

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.

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'

Tue, 20/04/2010 - 14:26 — CAMP

"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.

"This was the best gift I could ever get"

Tue, 20/04/2010 - 14:20 — CAMP

"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).

"I will never give up teaching!"

Tue, 20/04/2010 - 14:18 — CAMP

A bright and sunny day at the school in Mansehra District reflected Riaz's lighthearted mood. Proudly looking at his wheelchair, Riaz said he looks forward to school every day. Mohammad Riaz, a 51 year old from village Shahllia (Union Council Jallo) in Mansehra District is one of many people with disabilities identified by the DRC almost a year ago. When we first met Riaz, he told us he had paraplegia or paralysis of the lower half of the body. Coming to school and getting around the classroom was a struggle for him every day.
