Alhamdulillah, We have completed the preparation of 2200 Nos. quilts (worth Rs 2.3 millions) for flood relief at our Kawish VTI. We made two teams of Girls Middle & high school and also outsourced some skilled ladies from adjacent villages for the timely accomplishment of tasks. First consignment of quilts is being dispatched on December 02’2011. All Quilts will be distributed by December 10 inshaAllah at Kawish Karachi managed camps at Badin and Mirpur Khaas.
SOP has shown interest to launch a campaign with international donors for funding for the construction and rehabilitation of Schools at flood affected areas of Sindh. Seeds of Peace (http://www.seedsofpeace.org) is dedicated to empowering young leaders from regions of conflict with the leadership skills required to advance reconciliation and coexistence. Seeds of peace had funded Kawish to build 20 rooms including 02 Iqra Schools at flood affected areas adjacent to Kot Addu, last year.

Distribution of Live Stock on Partnership basis to poor Entrepreneurs. (Funding & idea given by Mr. Afaq Khan - CEO SCB Sadiq Dubai)
Summary:
• We started project on Nov 11,2009….. 02 years back.
• We completed distribution of 250 big goats and associated 491 off springs in more / less 06 months ( by April 2010) in 25 villages worth rs 2.7 million
• Mortality rate has been 15 %. We have SOP’s to report death of goat and getting it approved from management for exemption on special cases.
• Now, the current numbers of stock has risen to 210 big goats, 430 grown up goats and 268 infants. The lending has been increased from 250 beneficiaries to 469 numbers. However, 40 members have been exempted due to death of 40 goats.
• Current value of flock ( safe estimation) ;
o 210 big goats x 13,000 = 2.7 million rs ( since these goats have gone through twice with the pregnancy / delivery cycle so rates applied according to market)
o 430 off springs which are now grown big x 12,000 = 5.2million rs.
o Mix ( new born and some big) 268 x 3000 ( min price) = 0.8million
o Total value of current assets = 2.7 + 5.2 + 0.8 = 8.7 million rs.
• We have not taken in to account the maintenance cost invested by each custodian to raise goats, obtaining milk benefits, off springs retained by the beneficiary and our management costs.
• There is a prediction of 100 more new born addition in next few months. So, the cycling would continue.
• We have firm control on All beneficiary families as regards to statistics, status and recycling.
