Background
The area of
Forward Kahuta in Tehsil Havali,
District Bagh is one of the
poorest areas in AJ&K. Islamic
Relief started work in this area
in the sector of water and
sanitation towards the end of
2002. However soon it became
apparent that we would also have
to respond to some of the other
major needs of the area e.g.
livelihoods and education.
Taking this into consideration
Islamic Relief has started work
in sustainable livelihoods and
has also expanded its operation
to Tehsils Dhirkot and Bagh
Programme Objective
To
improve the standard of living
of rural communities living in
District Bagh.
