Unfortunately in the history of Pakistan, governments have failed to provide basic necessities to the people particularly for their basic Health, Education, Sanitation, Nutrition, and water supply. The disappointment was due to government’s incapability to make pro-people policies. Civil Society has been trying to fulfill this huge gape with their limited resources. Efforts and work range of civil society organizations is very low and limited, there is need to functionalize the public institution and to build their working capacity. Aman Welfare Organization (AWO) has been trying to serve the deprived communities in urban slums and rural areas of District Multan, Muzaffargarh and Khanewal.
From the last twelve years the organization has build strong association with the marginalized communities of the targeted Districts. It happens due to the regular interaction with the communities. Many of the areas are deprived from the basic necessities of life. Aman Welfare Organization (AWO) mobilized and organized the communities so that they can avail their basic needs of life from the public institutions. We have adopted following strategies to address the issues,
- Awareness raising on socio- economic and political issues through meetings and group discussions
- Formation of local committees as Community Based Organizations
- Registration of these groups as CBOs
- Trainings of these registered CBOs
- Link up with district government to avail resources for the development of their areas
- Build linkages with other institutions
