Update: Ambulance Service

Ambulance service for Sindh Villagers

Construction begins on family residences in Bachchu Goth
Nazeer Foundation has approved funding for the construction of single-room homes for 25 families in Bachchu Goth. Currently these families live in very poor conditions, often with no shelter. The 25 one-roomed simple structures will lead to a significant increase in the quality of life for residents of Bachchu Goth.
Some of the homes are given out on a load business. They will be paid back in monthly installments free of interest. Some homes will be donated free of charge to the family, based on the financial standing of the family in need.
Bachu Goth School Nearly Complete; Classes Start
Three of the planned six classrooms have been completely constructed for the new school in Bachu Goth, a village near Kathore.
The costs of the project have been kept low by training villagers in construction. They were taught how to lay the foundation, make bricks, and build the structure that will teach the young children of their community.
Three teachers trained by Nazeer Foundation began employment at the newly built school. An army veteran serves as a physical education instructor. His role is to instill a sense of discipline in the otherwise rural area that was not accustomed to such practices. The daily routine includes calisthenics as well as classes in soccer and cricket.
Villagers are hard at work building a school for their own children
