Post Rains Planning :
Recover Strategies from rains affected
COs
Monsoon season 2012 came with unusual rains fall in all over the Pakistan. In district Rahim Yar Khan four days nonstop rains in August caused disaster and brought down lots of walls, roofs and mud houses to the grounds in the rural area. The un-predictable heavy rains also damaged all the crops mainly cotton. Keeping in view the critical situation, immediately after rains, a Programme Planning Meeting (PPM) was held in which all the field unit incharges, DPOs and regional staff participated. The core agenda of meeting was to discuss the current post rains situ-ation related to cotton & livestock recovery. Dur-ing the meeting following strategies were devel-oped to recover the credit from rains affected COs: Each field unit incharge to enlist his/her rain
affected COs. DPOs & MER section will verify of enlisted COs through field visits.
A final list will be prepared that will include CO grading and prioritizing for extensive fol-low ups regarding recovery purpose.
Post rains messages (pamphlets) regarding cotton crops and livestock precautionary measures will be disseminated in rains affect-ed areas.
COs that are 100% affected from rains will get relaxation for 10% mandatory saving. Credit to affected COs will be disbursed quick ly i.e. within 3 days after recovery (CO clear-ance).
COs savings can be used for recovery purpos-es and after saving adjustment CO can take loan from first loan ceiling.
Case study Abdul Majeed,
member of Malik
Kalimullah CO
lives in Rahmo
village of
Sadiqabad. His
major source of
income is live-
stock; presently
he has 2 buffalos and 8 goats. His wife works during cotton and
wheat season and contributes in family income Rs. 800 against
weekly basis wages. From last 10 years he is serving his landlord
of his village who is very kind to him and often supports him in
different occasions.
In March, 2012 his family faced a troublesome situation when
Abdul Majeed was injured and his left leg was fractured in an
accident with a motorbike. He was carried in hospital and oper-
ated. To meet the hospitalization expenses his wife sold one
buffalo on Rs. 25,000 and addition expenses were beared by his
owner.
After the
slight recov-
ery, Majeed
contacted to
NRSP’s social
organizer for
submitting
his insurance
claim. He
received Rs.
15,000
against his
insurance
claim, that amount was utilized to purchase supplementary
medicines. This claim saved him to borrow money for further
medications.
“I acknowledge NRSP’s health insurance scheme for its CO
members due to that poor families get assistance in their
hard time ” said Abdul Majeed.
Micro Insurance NRSP’s micro-insurance arose out of an unmet need to develop a “product” that could provide coverage to those who are deprived from existing health insurance schemes. Along with its micro credit pro-gramme, micro-insurance has become its by-product for its CO members that not only supporting poor rural people in sud-den mishaps but also became a source of better health accessibility.
Abdul Majeed after leg surgery, now he can walk
with the support of crutch. After one month he
would be able to walk without any support.

The biogas plant installed in Chudhri Shoukat
Ali’s home has become a benchmark for other us-
ers of biogas plants. Shoukat Ali is the resident of vil-
lage 160/P of tehsil Sadiqabad of RYK. One may visit any
time to see how Shoukat is receiving multiple benefits
from biogas plant. Shortage of electricity in Pakistan has
become a dilemma, but fortunately Shoukat’s family is no
more facing this dilemma because they are running 1,500
watts generator on biogas plant that easily fulfilling
their electricity need. They also started ironing their
clothes by gas iron.
“Biogas plant persuaded us to love and care more to our
livestock” said Shoukat Ali.

Biogas Plants
An Outstanding Source of
Renewable Energy
6 Hours Daily gas consumption for cooking
Before Biogas Plant Monthly Consumption
Dung cakes, One 6 kg LPG cylinder, Wood & cotton residues
Fine ironing from gas iron
Generator on Biogas Plant
4 hours continuous running time, 2 ceiling fans, 3 energy savers
Lesson learned:
During need assessment survey, Shoukat demand for
biogas plant was rejected due to insufficient place
for slurry disposal. As per criteria beneficiary must
have easy and direct disposal of slurry to the fields.
But Shoukat great interest and commitment to
resolve issue of slurry disposal insisted NRSP team to
approve his demand. Now his plant is simply the
best, he proved that more you are interested
enthusiastic and persistent more you will gain from
the biogas plant.

“ Women of her town are getting inspiration
from her struggles she made to break
the cycle of poverty and improved
her living standard”
S even years ago a room of small house
was altered into window of liberation
from the poverty, when a mother of five
children decided to sell bangles and jewellery. She
started door to door campaign and disseminated the
message to women of her neighbourhood that now they
don’t need to travel anywhere for purchasing bangles and
jewellery, and who feel hesitance in going bazar can visit
her home for shopping diversified items of jewellery.
Shahnaz Habib took her firs loan of Rs. 5,000 form NRSP
women enterprise programme and opened a small shop
at her home. Her husband Habib was a truck driver and
often remain outside of the home town, Jamal Din Wali.
From his monthly earning he gave five to six thousand to
Shahnaz for monthly expenses. But this money was in-
sufficient to fulfil her desire for better living and educa-
tion of her children. Therefore she discussed her plan of
taking loan with Habib and started a little shop after alter-
ation in their bed room.
At present Shahnaz is in her seven circle of loan i.e. Rs.
15,000 and continue to grow her business. Women all
over the town visit her shop. Some women buy bangles
and jewellery and some buy laces, tailoring and embroi-
dery material. In 2011 she made new additions in her
shop, she added shoes and children garments in her
store, in up coming winter she will also sale sweaters and
Shahnaz average daily earning is Rs. 1,500. Twice in a
month, along with her elder son she visits whole sale mar-
ket in Sadiqabad for purchasing. Now all the children go to
school and her elder daughter also help her after com-
pleting her school home work. Shahnaz’s next planning is
to add imported cosmetics in her shop as her customers
are demanding her for imported and good quality cos-
metics. “I am really happy that today I am able to contrib-
ute for the well being of my children” Shahnaz said.

Shelter box - Assistance for IDPs Heavy rains of monsoon 2012, caused disaster and demolished
mud hoses in rural areas. These unpredictable heavy rains also
ruined crops of cotton and sugarcane. During such adversity,
shelter becomes urgent need for the poor families who live in
mud houses. Sensitizing this need NRSP provided shelter boxes
to most poor families, priority given to women headed families.
Case Study: Karam Khatoon Mother of six young children, Karam Khatoon lived in a mud
house of two rooms in village Nazar Muhammad Jhulan. Her hus-
band Allah Jiways works in Karachi and visits to home after three
to four months. The whole responsibility of her family was at Karam’s shoulders. Through Telenor easy paisa service,
she received Rs. 6,000 from her husband at the end of each month. She also has a buffalo that produce 4 litters milk
daily. Karam consumes 2 litters at home and sold 2 litters for Rs. 60 per litter. Heavy rains in August created a trouble-
some condition for her when she lost her house that was totally fall down. As she was also a CO member of NRSP
women programme, that eventually provided her shelter box to meet her most priority need.
Now Karam Khaton is living in Shelter box with her children. For Karam Khatoon shelter box is not only a safe place of
their living but its spacious structure saved their necessary luggage and kitchen appliances as well. They will rebuild
their house after Eid, when her husband will visit to home. Said Karam Khatoon.
