43,000 poor Gypsy families (homeless) live in Lahore, Punjab's largest city, half of them women. They are most neglected vulnerable group in Pakistan who lack basic needs of life. Muwakhat Foundation selected 500 families to support for three years by give food, clothes, health facilities, education for children, clean water and finance for startup business. Results with collective effort, they come out from poverty and live respectable life.
Challenge
According to statistics, there are over seven million homeless/gypsy living in Pakistan. Most are day labourers, garbage collectors, sanitary workers, dancers, or beggars. They remain deprived of basic rights despite being Pakistani citizens. The gypsy community lives below the poverty line, in severely unhygienic conditions. Among the host of problems facing the homeless/gypsy community is the severe alienation, malnutrition, early marriages and ignorance regarding health issues.
Long-Term Impact
It helps to reduce long term vulnerability and live respectable life as citizen of Pakistan.
