Nowshera:ReGEN

SOURCE

8.4 million acres of crops lost 

8000 schools closed

In 2010 we witnessed some of the worst flooding in Pakistan than had ever be seen before. With so much devastation and so many people affected, Masoom was quick to deliver immediate monetary relief to the countless refugees taking up residence in the now infamous white tent refugee camps dotted across the Khyber region. Once the situation was more stable, we began our first large scale construction programme, rebuilding family homes which had been completely destroyed by the flood; many families living on the rubble strewn area where their homes once stood. After this initial phase, 'Nowshera Housing project,' we commenced on a mass regeneration of the area which had much of its infrastructure and economy at standstill. We embarked on water projects, food rations throughout Ramadan, financing small businesses  through our Business Enterprise scheme, carried out many medical aid cases, began sponsoring orphaned children and many other smaller projects which would assist this area which was already poverty stricken before the flooding deepened the harsh realities of its residents. The final phase of 'Nowshera:ReGen' is the community hub project 'Brick By Brick' — a mosque and education centre which is nearing completion. This was Masoom's first attempt at regenerating an entire area by addressing the needs of a community on a holistic level.
