Situation Analysis
Children’s status in Pakistan reflects a mixed landscape. Progress is visible in education and healthcare, yet challenges persist. Child mortality remains high, with an under-five mortality rate of 69 per 1,000 births. Malnutrition affects 44% of children under five, hindering development. While primary school enrolment is at 89%, quality education lags, impacting learning outcomes. Child labour involves 12.5% of children, often exposed to exploitation. Girls face barriers, with 32% not attending school.

Orphan Support
Our focus lies in bolstering vulnerable orphan children in Sindh, a region of unique challenges. Our tailored software, accessible to donors, allows real-time tracking of sponsored children’s progress. Linked to an offline-ready Android app, our field workers gather family data seamlessly, updating the system online. Our orphan sponsorship initiative offers comprehensive educational, healthcare, and nutritional assistance.
Empowering Persons with Disability
FRDP has been providing mobility support to persons with disabilities in rural areas of Pakistan. Usually, these people remain unattended because of rural-urban divide. Our access in multiple communities help us identify and serve these people

Temporary Learning Centres
In times of calamity like floods, we swiftly erect Temporary Learning Centres, ensuring continued education when schools close.
Festival Blessings and Nourishment
Our commitment extends to infants’ post-disaster health with nutrition packs. Annually, we bring smiles with Eid gifts encompassing toys, clothing, and shoes, fostering joy and well-being.
