Shelter And NFIs
Rural Pakistan grapples with critical housing issues, particularly among vulnerable communities. According to UNDP, around 63% of rural dwellers reside in substandard housing without essential amenities, deepening inequalities. This hit marginalized groups hardest, compounding poverty and health disparities. The situation is worsened by inadequate communal spaces like schools, mosques, and healthcare centres, limiting education and medical access. Prioritizing shelter and Non-Food Items (NFIs) is crucial. Collaborative strategies involving government, NGOs, and locals are indispensable to provide decent housing and necessary items.

Shelters and House Building
FRDP stands as a beacon of support for underprivileged households, extending the warmth of one/two-room shelters to widows and marginalized communities. Our impactful endeavours have already yielded over 100 homes for widows in collaboration with esteemed partners. Presently, we are fervently engaged in erecting 100 single-room shelters in the flood-ravaged domains of Mirpur Khas, Sindh. This commendable undertaking thrives with the unwavering backing of Join Together Society (JTS) Korea, showcasing a harmonious blend of compassion and cutting-edge innovation.
Construction of Mosques
Our mission transcends bricks and mortar. We have crafted modest yet profoundly significant mosques across Pakistan, nurturing spaces where local communities can seamlessly embrace their faith. These centres of spiritual solace echo our commitment to harmonious coexistence and religious practice, etching a beautiful tapestry of unity.
