Momentum - Building Capacities (Relaunched)

Location: Pakistan (Rahim Yar Khan, South Punjab)

South Punjab is home to small industries with people living on daily wages. Children are not attending school, (as those are closed), people don't have any access to basic food or water, and there is an increase in domestic violence cases. At the same time, mental & physical health is being compromised. In response to these challenges, we have developed a platform to raise funds to provide food to families in need. $3000 USD has been raised and 1200+ families have been provided with food packages for one month which will be expiring in a few days. We have also distributed Protective masks & sanitizers to the front line workers. As the Holy Month of Ramadhan approached, we have partnered up with ASK Foundation to provide families with basic vegetables and stuff that can help them feed their family members. To engage and enhance the creativity of Young People, we have engaged & mobilized online more than 50 thousand young people in virtual events. The events have many domains and all are related to COVID-19, its current effects, and future aspects. The primary challenge is access to food and essential items. We plan to help young GIRLS by distributing sanitary pads. We want to ensure they meet their needs and are working to develop an app and service, which girls/females can access to order sanitary pads. There are around 2 million girls/women in District Rahim Yar Khan of South Punjab. Our team of more than 1000 volunteers can help them to get the sanitary pads in their homes.

Support

We are having other resource challenges relating to equipment and more technical aspects of our operations. To support our operations we are looking for assistance in Digital App development, Advertisement, and Promotion, and funding for 100,000 Sanitary Pads.
