Floods in Sindh 2011 - Disaster:

Once again, Pakistan is afflicted with floods. Major parts of the province of Sindh have been devastated in 2011 on the eastern bank of River Indus. It is a disaster of a scale that is beyond any of the other natural calamities that have befallen any other part of the world in recent years.

The Petarian Foundation has risen to the occasion once again to provide immediate relief to the affected population.

Maternity Hospital Project, Jhimpir:

Petarian Foundation has decided to build a Maternity Hospital and Child Healthcare center at Jhimpir Sindh, since there is no such facility to serve the over 300,000 people there within 50km of the place.

We have acquired 8 acres of land on the banks of Keenjhar/Kalri Lake for the project.

Key features of the master plan are as follows:

  1. Maternity Home / Child Healthcare Centre / general hospital
  2. Primary school
  3. Doctors' residences
  4. Utilities
  5. Serai for families of patients coming from distance for them to stay
  6. Masjid
  7. Fish farming project which would sustain the operating expenses of our hospital and school
  8. Vegetable farming which would sustain the operating expenses of our hospital and school
  9. Recreation area to serve local population and visitors from outside, and earnings from this would also sustain the operating expenses of our hospital and school

We need to raise Rs. 20 million (around US$ 250,000) for first phase as soon as possible to complete the hospital building within 6 months. We already have 25% funds.

Currently, we have one doctor and a team working on the site out of makeshift facilities.

For details, please go toJhimpir Maternity Home Project.

We hope that this project will help in transforming the area, and to bring more investments for the betterment of the people of the area. It will also be a good outlet for people in Karachi and Hyderabad for picnics, etc, and we will use this to raise money for our operating expenses. The place is very convenient and within 60-90 minute drive from Karachi and Hyderabad.
