Annual Report 2012-13

Foreword Its gives me immense pleasure to present the Annual Performance Report 2012-13 along with a brief background of Sindh Graduates Association. This report is equipped with almost all the information of SGA progress and achievements that bring us closer to Association’s vision and mission. The Association has successfully completed its 41 years journey and has entered into the 5th decade to continue this journey with the vision “to construct a peaceful developed society in Sindh”. SGA is one of the largest voluntary civil society organizations which always played its vital role for the promotion of education, health, social mobilization, emergencies, human resource development, poverty alleviation and advocacy for poor and less privileged communities in Sindh. The Association has a membership of over 9000 graduate volunteers with a large network of 113 branches in various towns and villages of Sindh as well as a branch office in Islamabad. During 2012-13 the Association not only expanded its activities and operations but also strengthened education, health, human resources, publication and poverty alleviation and research and development activities within the frame work of Association. The Association has planned to widen its social, welfare, cultural and resource mobilization activities for the betterment and development of society in a dynamic and sustainable way in the upcoming period to overcome existing issues. I would definitely appreciate and congratulate the dynamic volunteers of Central Executive Committee and Council of Members who with their true enthusiasms and wisdom have contributed tremendously since inception in making SGA what it is today. If a support organization harnesses people’s potential and dedication through organizing them, they can move mountains. The credit of Association’s success goes to committed volunteers, communities, donor agencies who are working with SGA and those who supported SGA in past, stakeholders and its staff members whose ownership, dedication, enthusiasm carries the organization forward and enabled us to translate our goals and objectives into reality. I must thank to Chairman SGA and other office bearers of CEC, volunteers of branches and professional staff members for their continued support in accomplishment of set targets successfully. I am also thankful to Ms. Ashraf Pathan, Sikandar Ali Lakho, Qurban Bhanbhro and Hizbullah Shahani who tirelessly put their maximum efforts in providing desired information and composing of this report. Mr. Misri Chaniho really deserves special mention for supporting me in preparing and writing this report. Finally, as a member of the SGA Management team, I assure you that we will continue to work on issues; development and strengthening that are concerned to the poor and disadvantaged sections of society. We are confident that our commitment to our communities will be sincere and unrelenting; and we are fully optimistic that with the support of our partners, volunteers and well-wisher friends, SGA would In Sha Allah be able to achieve its task in a satisfactory manner. Ali Hussain Brohi Secretary General (Honorary) Sindh Graduates Association

Annual Report 2012-13

Message from Founder Sindh Graduates Association has evolved as a voluntary organization to galvanize the efforts of the people to reach the base line of development. In the year 1970, the entity of Sindh was reemerged as a vibrant modern society and it broke away from the stigma of the agrarian past. The educated middle class organized themselves to highlight the social needs of people of this forgotten society. The response of people was immense and immediate. The SGA volunteers were encouraged went ahead without resources. Our early companions used to spend from their pockets and their hard earned salaries for the maintenance of office and travel to reach the different places. Their love and dedication is an all time energizer for all of us. Now the SGA is in its 42nd year of existence. Even today thousands of volunteers are still devoting their precious time, energies and talent for the good of people with the same energy as devotion as their predecessors. They believe that we shall live with the spirit of Sindhi People for time immemorial. SGA has been publishing its reports in Sindhi every year since inception. But for the first time in its history the Annual Report of SGA is being published in English. This need has emanated from the fact that our language, Sindhi, is not recognized worldwide. It is our need to be heard and felt with the same emotion and feeling as in our mother tongue. Alas we must choose a global language to be heard around the world. I salute all the members, volunteers, workers of Sindh Graduates Association for their life long commitment of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Service above selfâ&#x20AC;?. I am sure if we keep up our values and principles alive, the world shall find us and recognize us for our selfless existence.

Allah Bless You All

Annual Report 2012-13

Message from Chairman Sindh Graduates Association (SGA) in its very essence is an organization that has roots in the people who carry extreme attachment to socio-economic development of the people of Sindh. Over the last 41 years, SGA evolved from a dedicated voluntary body to a vibrant development partner in the region. Through its range of social-service portfolio, SGA has been at forefront to bring changes in the lives of vulnerable populace of rural, urban and semi-urban areas of Sindh. This journey continues through focused interventions, in the most neglected areas by bridging partnership with like-minded bodies to strengthen development initiatives for the redress of problems faced by the people of Sindh. Experience has proved that an ultimate change is only possible through sincere indigenous efforts from the people for the like souls. SGA feels honor in recognizing the sincere thoughts and contribution from the pool of SGA volunteers that is highest in number against any other likeminded group in the region. Over the last few years Sindh has faced catastrophes in regular intervals .We, at present, are in the phase of reconstruction. This situation calls for an energetic effort to come together and strive for a prosperous region that promotes honor, dignity and pride in its social, economic and cultural outlook. SGA will continue stride for achieving its socio-cultural and economic development objectives by advancing social services through its education and health sector outlets as well as building partnership with likeminded bodies.

BACKGROUND The Sindh Graduates Association evolved from the coming together of a small group of enlightened individuals concerned over the poor level of development existing in Sindh. They wanted to contribute with their efforts and talents to a cause, which had not received attention, it truly required. The SGA has come a long way, since it was first formed in 1972 as a non-profit, non-sectarian and non-political civil society organization. It is a registered body operating under Societies Registration Act (XXI) of 1860 registered on September 29, 1972. Today it boosts up a membership of over 9,000 graduate volunteers and 113 branches in various towns and villages of Sindh and a branch office in Islamabad. The Association was founded with the vision “to construct a peaceful developed society in Sindh” aimed to coordinate efforts directed towards welfare and wellbeing of Sindh’s people. It is a non-political humane social organization recognizing inter-cultural and inter-personal interaction for national harmony and peace among all sectors of population and its objective was to empower the people to take decisions on their own and become partners in policy decisionmaking process so that sustainable development is ensured.

The management structure of the Association consists of Council of Members (the highest decision-making body) with 191 members and Central Executive Committee (executing body) with 25 office-bearers & executive members. The Association has been working in the fields of education, health, emergency relief, environmental protection, rural water supply and sanitation, rights-based advocacy, social mobilization & poverty alleviation, human resource development, literature, arts and cultural activism for the last 41 years. The focus of the Association is chiefly centered on promoting education, improving health services, rights-based advocacy and raising awareness of people through printed material and organizing seminars, conferences and public forums.

At the beginning, the SGA might have seemed too ambitious to some. For in assisting the people of its region in the problems that stem from poverty and official lack of direction. It attempted to work in just about every field and discipline that needed attention to health, basic education, vocational training, income generation, emergency assistance and socio-cultural activism. Following the principle of "for the people, by the people", the SGA did not rely on any governmental or international assistance for the first 18 years of its existence. The volunteer members, including both management and field representatives, have continued to mobilize funds from alternative sources throughout this period, for what was to become a unique grass roots organizational effort in this part of the world. Only in 1990 for the first time its dedication and

The Association owns and manages 24 Roshan Tara Schools in different parts of the province, which provide better education to children on affordable fees. During the year 2011-12 the Association executed an agreement with the Government of Sindh under Public Private Partnership for the management of Public School Gadap for a period of 30 years. The Association

Annual Report 2012-13 runs a 24-hour Emergency Medical Centre (YASMEC) at Super Highway which provides health services to the victims of road accidents, workers at Nooriabad industrial estate and also caters to the needs of Kohistan people of Jamshoro district. It arranges skin, eye and general medical camps in different parts of province to address the health needs of the poor and under-privileged population in backward and inaccessible parts of the province. The Association is also managing a full time medical health clinic at Pano Akil under the supervision of local SGA branch.

phenomenon. Education and awareness tools will help us change the behavior of the men in our society. The Association is working on gender issues to promote women development in the province. It discourages all kinds of cruel acts that are inflicted on innocent women in the name of honour killings. That is why, the Association is trying to mobilize the women to come forward and play a meaningful role in the society. There are many women members in the Association who are holding important offices in public and private sector. Some are associated with medical and legal professions. The Association has a track record of empowering poor and needy women in the districts of Dadu and Naushero Feroze. It imparted vocational trainings (handicraft) and provided the women with credit facilities to help them supplement their family incomes to live a respectable life. The Association had also arranged human rights training to more than 100 teachers of their Roshan Tara Schools to work as promoters of human rights in their respective areas.

SGA facilitates the youth by sponsoring limited scholarships specifically to bright, promising, poor and needy students of colleges and universities with the financial assistance of Mr. Shabbir Ahmed Jumani family. It also makes an advocacy of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights by holding seminars and workshops and publishing articles and statements to discourage violation of human rights. The Association believes that women are an important segment of our society as they form over 50 per cent of population and their education, health, nutrition and general wellbeing is our responsibility. Educated and healthy mothers are the one that can build society and ensure development everywhere in the province. The women occupy an honorable place in an Islamic society and our original traditions. Unfortunately some people with intolerant male chauvinistic views and traditions disregard them. The causes of present state of women in our society can be traced back to mediaeval times and onwards to the evolution of feudal society in Kalhora and Talpur eras. The influence of feudal traditions and feudal psyche is attributable to this

Keeping in view the drinking water problems in the province, the Association had provided water supply schemes to 14 villages in the districts of Thatta, Dadu, Khairpur, Larkana, Shikarpur and Jacobabad with the financial assistance of the World Bank and Public Health Engineering Department (PHED), Government of Sindh. The Association had the credit of redesigning the models already developed by PHED that had a positive impact on water facilities and construction cost. education and learning in the province. As well as established, mother and child care centers and SGA Clinics (Jumma Clinics) that took care of the poor in backward areas of Karachi and other

Annual Report 2012-13 parts in the province. It also started ambulance services in different localities to provide 24 hours emergency transport service to the low-income groups.

In order to promote literacy in Sindh, the Association launched an adult and youth literacy programme in 2004-05 in Hala, Hyderabad, Tando Allahyar and Thatta. The project was financed by USAID and technical support was provided by Education Sector Reform Assistance (ESRA). Under this project the target was to educate 10,000 learners whereas SGA went beyond the targets and succeeded in getting 11,846 learners enrolled at 399 centers, out of which 212 centers were meant for female learners.

The Association has been arranging a wide variety of social and cultural activities since its inception. Expoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sindh, Latif Year, Sachal Year, National Latif Congress, and National Sachal Congress are from its core activities. To create an atmosphere of peace, harmony and brotherhood during 2004 an International Shah, Sachal and Sami conference was held at Karachi. More then 30 intellectuals, writers and literary persons from India and other countries participated in the above conference. In 2005 Dada J.P (Jai Parkash) Waswani an spiritual leader, intellectual and world renowned personality visited Sindh on the invitation of Sindh Graduates Association. Revered Dada delivered three lectures at Karachi and Hyderabad on peace and brotherhood. On the occasion the Association has entered an agreement with Sadhu Waswani Mission Pune India for arranging Heart Surgeries of infants/children below 6 years having hole in their hearts. 10 patients were operated and treated at Nana Vati Hospital India with the help and support of Sadhu Vaswani Mission, India.

The Association has been successfully completed 41 years of its selfless services rendered for improvement and lifting up poorest of the poor with participation of the communities. The SGA is building on its three strengths --- local supervision, operational autonomy at the branch level and strong community involvement to address the challenge of educating the future generations of Sindh. Combined with the willingness to experiment and innovate, characteristics shared by other NGOs to fill in the vacuum in Sindh today.

Besides its own self-help based projects, the Association has run projects in collaboration with Khushali Bank, Actionaid Pakistan, RSPN, USAID at different districts of the province. These projects focused on social mobilization, education, health, birth spacing, micro-finance, small infrastructure and human resource development.

Annual Report 2012-13

EDUCATION educational activities are divided into three distinct phases: Pre-1980 phase, 1980-1993 phase and 1993 onwards. The first phase was characterized by efforts to improve existing government schools. The second phase envisages establishment of the SGA schools in Sindh towns and expanding their function. Whereas the third phase offers initiation of efforts to focus on largescale education for girls- the most downtrodden generation of Sindh's rural population. In terms of output, the second phase has given the most significant results.

Background and Objectives Education is one of the most fundamental areas of the SGA interventions and the Association has been carrying out different activities in this field for the past 41 years which eventually led to the establishment of new schools, improving and modernizing of education, strengthening of existing schools to fulfill the needs of a vast population to bring order, peace, sustainable social, economic and technological development in this region. Right from the inception in 1972, the focus of the Association is centered chiefly on improving education standard at primary and secondary levels and providing new school systems to address the needs of youth in rural areas and urban fringes. It has been established that the progress of a family, nation or whole mankind depends entirely on standard of education that each nation maintains. The basic educational needs of children must be met on priority basis if we are to accelerate the pace of progress to survive in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world, which is full of challenges and prejudices. We need to popularize primary education that provides the basis for higher education.

From the very beginning the first obligation placed by the Association on its members was to undertake measures to improve the government schools where the SGA members had studied in their childhood for the purpose of providing better opportunities for education to the next generation. Members raised resources from the community to improve existing facilities such as buildings, furniture, toilets, and teaching materials as well as granting scholarships. They worked with the community to improve attendance of students at these schools. They tried to strengthen links between the teachers and the community. Over the years, however, the limitations of this approach became apparent. The Association came to the realization that even with their supplementary efforts; government schools are unlikely to provide quality education.

In Sindh, except a few elite schools, the formal education provided by the state and the private sector is highly insufficient, besides being ineffective. They have not even matched the progress in the field achieved in other parts of Pakistan. Girls often face neglect or discrimination in the schooling process. Historically, the SGA began to address this situation by helping to improve the facilities and services of government schools. The SGAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

The SGAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third approach to education was to introduce home schools project, which focused entirely on female literacy and socio-economic awareness in rural areas. It was ensured that the mobilization of resources and the curriculum

Annual Report 2012-13 were suited to the local context. Primary Health Care and Vocational Training were added as subjects to the Sindh Textbook Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary school curriculum, while condensing the prescribed five years of study to a more convenient three-year course. The effort has been to reduce the attrition rate and to educate these girls for the real life challenges and situations they will soon face as young women, as active caretakers and productive members of their families and communities. Home Schools were established in villages where little or no other opportunities for schooling exist. The Age Group of 8-15 years was targeted. 6000 female students benefited from this program throughout Sindh. The collaborating organizations were Trust for Voluntary Organisations (TVO), UNICEF, Sindh Education Foundation (SEF) & PDP (SAP). In Thatta district where extreme poverty and lack of popular education contributed to high levels of infant mortality and poor levels of health, a School Nutrition pilot project was launched in 24 Primary Schools in collaboration with Education Department Government of Sindh, NORAD and World Bank to address various community needs. A social mobilization campaign was launched in Thatta, Dadu and Badin with the financial assistance of UNICEF & UNESCO to increase the enrolment of out of school children aged between five and nine years.

The most striking feature of all these schools is that (a) all Roshan Tara Schools are coeducational and (b) more than 70 per cent of the teachers are females, even in the small towns where cultural barriers and norms prevent women from taking active part in development activities. This was made possible owing to the SGAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong community roots and its credibility, which the Association has earned through its development work over the years. Organizationally, Roshan Tara Schools have a three-tier management system: at school level by principal; at branch level by Roshan Tara School Management Committee headed by the nominees of Branch Management Committee (BMC) and assisted by a representative of parents, a prominent educationist of the area and principal of the school as member secretary. At the central level the Central Roshan Tara Schools Management Committee (CRTSMC) headed by Secretary Education of the Association is looking into the affairs of these schools. Of all the SGA projects, Roshan Tara Schools have a great potential of being sustainable even without the help of the Association owing to parent-teacher involvement, community response and capacity to mobilize resources at local level. Above all, these schools have the prestige of being quality education institutions and their replication in other places is being welcomed. The limitation of Roshan Tara Schools is lack of resources and training facilities at rural centres. The Karachi-based NGOs, SPELT, Project-RISE, TRC, Faran Education Society, AKU-IED and Government of Sindh are assisting the SGA with the training of teachers in English, Mathematics and Science. To impart computer knowledge to the students and equip the science laboratories Government of Sindh and INFAQ foundation has extended their financial support in this sphere. INFAQ Foundation is also supporting the Association in the construction of school buildings.

Roshan Tara Schools The SGA declared 1980 as "The year for education." By that time the Association had consolidated its community base. Even though its financial resources were limited, it felt strong enough to initiate its first school at Hala, a small town near Bhitshah. This pilot project was launched by mobilizing local human and material resources. The school was named Roshan Tara School. The project was an instant success. People were looking for an institution, which could provide better education at affordable cost. Classes in the Roshan Tara School range between kindergarten to secondary level. The medium of instruction are Sindhi but English is taught as a compulsory subject from the very beginning. Encouraged by the response, the Association opened more schools in the following years. The Association is currently running 24 Roshan Tara Schools in Karachi (Gulshan-e-Hadeed, Sachal

Progress Report for the year 2012-13 Presently SGA is running/managing a chain of 24 Roshan Tara Schools across Sindh on self help basis with the enrollment of more than 8494 (5130 boys and 3364 girls) students and 412 teaching faculty whereas the non teaching staff is 106. These schools are imparting quality and standard education at a very low fee cost for rural and less privileged students of Sindh from kindergarten to Higher Secondary level. Fourteen schools have their own buildings whereas 10 schools are running in rental premises. With the Financial support of Government of Sindh and INFAQ Foundation the buildings of Roshan Tara School Sachal Goth, Sehwan and Badin have been expanded/ renovated. Besides, all Roshan Tara Schools have been supported in respect of salaries of staff members by Community Development Program of Planning & Development Department, Government of Sindh. Three Information Technology (I.T) Labs have been established in three schools viz. Sehwan, Mehrabpur and Kahshmore. A Research & Development Centre has also been established in SGA Head Office to support the education and Roshan Tara Schools.

A snapshot of monthly publication of Pakistan Petroleum Limited “PROGRESS” Vol.LVIII No.1 of August 2013 Support to Roshan Tara High School, Sanghar In light of recent discoveries in Gambat South Block, located in District Sanghar, Sindh, Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) has initiated additional community welfare and development projects in the district. As part of this effort, the company recently committee financial support amounting to over Rs. 10 million to Sindh Graduates Association (SGA) for construction of ground floor of the proposed Roshan Tara High School (RTHS) premises at Shahpur Chakar, Taluka Shahdadkot.

Annual Report 2012-13 and common occurrence of eye and skin diseases in the region. Organized with the assistance of the Society for the Prevention and Cure of Blindness (Karachi) and the Welfare Association of Dermatology Patients (Karachi), made up for the lack of appropriate health care facilities in the villages and smaller towns in Sindh.

HEALTH After education the most significant component of the SGA interventions is health. The progress and prosperity of every nation depends entirely upon the health status of its members. Absence of hospitals, acute shortage of medicines and necessary equipments, roads, transport, employment opportunities and excessive mental and physical exertion and social problems lead to mental disorders and physical ailments.

While SGA’s free eye and skin-care camps continued, a new emergency care centre (YASMEC) targeted a hazardous highway zone, and extremely successful weekly ‘Juma’ clinics were upgraded and turned into permanent Mother-Child Care centers through the involvement of local communities. A free SGA ambulance service addressed the lack of transport for the accessibility of medical facilities in Sindh. A full time medical centre at Pano Akil (Al-Shams Hospital and Charitable Clinic) under the supervision of SGA Pano Akil Branch also caters the health needs of the locality successfully.

One of the major causes of poor health is nutrition. Unhealthy diet, unclean drinking water, unhygienic living conditions, excessive workload, tension and climatic extremities are also some of the causes. Poor health is often identified with poverty. According to an estimate poverty ratio in Sindh is over 45 per cent and a large proportion of population lives below poverty line. Over 50 per cent of Sindh’s population lives in rural localities and the magnitude of poverty is more keenly observed there, than in the cities and larger towns. However, the urban slums are no exception to it.

DR. YASMEEN SHAIKH EMERGENCY MEDICAL CENTRE (YASMEC) Dr. Yasmeen Shaikh Memorial Emergency Medical Centre (YASMEC) was established on 10th September 1993 by Sindh Graduates Association (SGA), in the memory of late Dr. Yasmeen Shaikh, daughter of Dr. Suleman Shaikh, she lost her life on 19th November 1992 in a road accident on super highway near Nooriabad.

Absence of substantial means amounts to numerous problems the foremost being the subsistence. Due to rapid price hike, most of the larger households in rural areas as well as urban slums cannot afford two time meals. Less diet, more work load coupled with tension leads to weakness and thus poor health is prone to various diseases.

YASMEC is a Non-Profit Voluntary & Charitable Health Centre established for the promotion of Health facilities on super highway, industrial area of Nooriabad and the arid zone of Kheerthar.

Keeping in view the above situation, the SGA addressed health needs of the population by various initiatives, all aimed at improving health and hygienic conditions of the people in general and the poor in particular. Without taking care of this need at all levels, a community cannot be prepared to face other social and economic challenges.

YASMEC is situated in the south of main super highway (92 km from Karachi) adjacent to union Council Sari’s office. It is 200 meter away from road and spread over 56,000 square feet. The Centre has been established in the building of basic health unit which was handed-over by the Sindh Government to the Association on 10th

One of the SGA’s earliest and longest running projects is organizing medical camps. These camps relate to the frequent

SOCIAL MOBILISATION All the SGA endeavors revolve around social mobilization mechanisms and it is felt that without community mobilization none of the initiatives can be made sustainable. Thus they have been trying for last 41 years to mobilize the communities at grassroots level with the aim to raise their awareness about socio-economic problems and to build their capacity in different disciplines to enable them to solve their problems on the self- help basis. Social mobilization is an integral part of all SGA initiatives, which include social mobilization by volunteers at SGA branches and the model adopted in projects and partnerships with other organizations. At present SGA is running two different projects in collaboration with Khushhali Bank and Rural Support Network (Local Support Organization-LSO). These projects are meant to organize the communities in rural localities and provide them a forum in the form of community organization to discuss and solve their socio-economic problems through dialogue, collective efforts and donor and government support. SGA-Khushhali Bank Project is supposed to help organize the communities in rural localities and build their capacity and link them with line department to acquire basic services. The Khushhali Bank lends them micro loans ranging from Rs 10,000 to 50,000 each, on monthly, half-yearly and yearly basis. The objective of this intervention is to provide a credit facility to cultivators and small traders to boost up their business. Thus social mobilization leads to social change and sustainable development.

To reach as many communities as possible in order to determine magnitude of poverty, socio-economic status, demography, civic amenities, infra-structure and potential for future development.

At present Sindh Graduates Association has been rendering its social mobilization services in partnership with Khushahi Bank Ltd in 11 locations of Nine (9) Districts of Sindh province i-e Badeh, Ratodero, Shikarpur, Ghotki, Dharki, Mirpur Khas, Naushahro Feroze, Dadu, Tando Allahayar, Tando Mohammad Khan and Khairpur Mir’s through professional social mobilization teams.

CASE STUDY OF SGA SOCIAL MOBILIZATION PROJECT A case study of a poor farmer namely Mr. Ali Mardan who grew his career from a poor farmer to a big shop keeper through mobilization of SGA team and with the micro financing support of Khushshali Bank Ltd Ratodero Office in 2004.

Sindh Graduates Association is one of founder members of Rural Support Programs Network (RSPN). The Association in collaboration with RSPN has implemented many projects on Social Mobilization, Education, Health and Advocacy. The main focus of RSPs is to reduce poverty by uniting local communities at grassroots level. The Association has formed a Local Support Organization (LSO) in Union Council Khahi, Taluka Khipro, District Sanghar under the title “Progressive LSO Khahi” and Registered under Societies Registration ACT-1860 in December, 2012. The population size of UC Khahi is 29750 with 4250 House Holds, whereas the LSO has organized 3000 HHs and covered a population of 21000.

Sindh Graduates Association’s social mobilization team of SGA-KBL Project Office Ratodero visited Village Ali Beg Kondrani of Union Council Waris Dino Machhi, Taluka Ratodero, District Larkana. SGA through its mobilization team introduced the program of Khushhali Bank and formed a Community Organization (CO) in the said village and submitted the case to Khushhali Bank Ltd which disbursed loan to the CO members. Mr. Ali Mardan was also one of the clients of the group who took loan. He was a very poor farmer and used to fertile/sow only onion in his land. He got loan from Khushahli Bank and then with the passage of time he improved his crop and presently he is running his own hotel, poultry shop and purchased qinqi at his village which is also running/earning. With the support and social mobilization of SGA team, presently he is a one of the bigger shop keepers in the local community and passing a pleasant and happy life with his growing business and have changed his living standard. Sindh Graduates Association have been successfully running this project at Ratodero since 2003 and have benefited more than 10 thousand people and so many people are regularly getting loan from Khushhali Bank Ltd in 4th,5th or 7th cycle. It is pertinent to mention that he is still getting loan from Khushhali Bank Ltd since 2004. Sindh Graduates Association has been working in collaboration with Khushhali Bank for poverty alleviation in Sindh Province. Since SGA believes that Social Mobilization is a toll to mobilize community for a collective action for the development and betterment of local communities

The Association started work on formation of COs at Union Council Khahi in May, 2011 and formed the LSO; consisting of 90 COs (60 Male and 30 Female) and 14 Village Organizations. Presently a free of cost Coaching Centre for poor students is being run with enrollment of 50 students (girls and boys). The LSO has also setup a library where more than 300 books on different subjects/topics have been collected and daily Sindhi News paper is provided for readers. Further, the LSO body conducted Wash Sessions in four Government Primary Schools and arranged public walks on important days such as Teachers Day, Literacy Day etc.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT One of the major crisis affecting socioeconomic conditions in Sindh is the unemployment created not only in the agriculture sector by mechanized farming practices but also by inadequate or no opportunities in urban private or public sector. The urban areas are dramatically overburdened by the migrating populations particularly the illegal immigrants from across the borders. This imbalance between rural and urban lives creates few income sources and poor conditions of living for the displaced classes. Without addressing this grave issue, no development strategy would be successful. Thus, the SGA has initiated human resources development projects aimed at (i) the self-sustainability of rural populations (ii) training in modern skills for the international market and (iii) replication possibilities of these training models.

During the year, the Association conducted training programs on capacity building of SGA Social Mobilization Projects staff in September, 2012 and June, 2013, where more than 60 staff members were trained/benefited.

The Association has also conducted nine (9) training events for teachers in different clusters of Roshan Tara Schools across Sindh where more than 250 teachers benefited. Training on Micro Finance on Grassroots Level at State Bank of Pakistan Hyderabad and on Basic Proposal Writing Skills from Church World Services Pakistan/Afghanistan at Hyderabad respectively has also been imparted to few of Head Office staff members.

Sindh Graduates Association has always encouraged and trained its staff, volunteers/ SMCs and Roshan Tara School teachers for their capacity building and strengthened its human resources. The Association has a mechanism of proper human resource development since its inception for promoting the capacity of individual and collective for staff members of SGA Head Office, its projects and Roshan Tara Schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; teachers on regular basis. The SGA has worked on improving the administrative skills of its management by introducing new methods for staff in all its project sectors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Management (planning, strategy and budgeting, NGO Management, etc.), Teaching (Language and Science methodologies etc.), Health and Medicine (community health worker training etc.) Development (womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development etc.).

MAZHAR RESOURCE CENTRELIBRARY

The Shah Abdul Lateef Bhittai Community Complex (SALCC) is flagship of Sindh Graduates Association being run and managed by SGA Islamabad Branch. The project, conceived with the opening of the SGA branch in 1976, gradually came into reality when a piece of land (one acre=5310 yards) in s ector-H-8 was acquired in 1993. Facilities such as Auditorium, Library, Hostel for unemployed youth, Club, Community Hall, Display Center, SGA Office and other allied services were the main components of the Complex.

As gateways to knowledge and culture, libraries play a fundamental role in society. The resources and services they offer create opportunities for learning, support literacy and education, and help shape the new ideas and perspectives that are central to a creative and innovative society. In recognition of the meritorious and life services rendered by its former Secretary General (Late) Professor Mazharuddin Memon, the Association has established a Resource Centre (Library) in its head office named as Mazhar Resource Centre.

The Association decided to first embark on the construction of Auditorium. Sindh Government, Sheikh Sultan Trust and individuals came forward to fund the project. SGAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fund raising events also largely supplemented the funding. The work started in 1994 but due to the shortage of the funds the work was slow and later came to standstill in 1998.

There are more than 2500 books in the library various subjects and 410 Reports of different NGOs/Organizations as also 1350 periodicals etc are also available in the library. The non book material viz. DVDs and Video Cassettes (190) containing SGA seminars, workshops and cultural activities are also available in the library. Besides that Mazhar Resource Centre is also used for trainings, workshops, Seminars, meetings, educational activities and cultural activities of SGA. The Resource Centre has a dynamic, stimulating and motivational environment for readers and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centrally air-conditioned and fully equipped.

SGA, however, continued its efforts and succeeded to resume the construction and made Auditorium operative in year 2000.The work was supervised by Project Implementation Committee (PIC), headed by Mr. M. Yousuf Memon. SGA branch office and library established in basement and activities started in the auditorium. In 2005 the Auditorium was further refurbished and opened for hiring. Opening ceremony held on 23 March, 1995. Meanwhile SGA Youth Hostel and Community Hall were also raised with the funds received by it.
