The Needs Assessment:

In the month of July, 2018 while implementing a project school kits distribution at Village
Moharyo, funded by Karwan Development Foundation (KDF) Islamabad and implemented by
Rural Development Association -RDA team. While conducting the baseline, the field teams
identified that majority of students didn’t have school bags, basic stationary including pencils,
copies, school bags and uniforms. The teachers told that these students belong to those
families who do not have livelihoods resources other than rain fed agriculture and livestock,
which has suffered drastically due to consecutive dry years. The people are hardly meeting
their kitchen needs and they do not have money to spend on their children’s education. Govt
provides only text books.
The situation was communicated with Karwan development Foundation -KDF team. RDA and
KDF consider these necessary items as basic right of school children. These materials not only
motivate students towards schooling but also enhance their learning. Therefore, KDF with the
support from different donor’s provided generous support for distribution of 34 students’
school kits among the most deserving students in Oct 2018.
