FROM THE SITE:

Anjuman Samaji Behbood works with people in different cities of Pakistan to improve their quality of life through improvements to water, sanitation and hygiene education using local skills and practical, sustainable technologies.
Specially in Faisalabad the third big city of Pakistan.

Faisalabad city consists of chak numbers, or numbered villages, which have become urbanised over time. The layout of these chaks was planned in 1885. The original city is Chak number 212 and the area consisting of Peoples Colony, Madina Town and Kohinoor Textile Mill area is Chak number 213. Chak number 214 consists of 94 murabas, of these one is Dhuddiwala East and the other is Dhuddiwala West.

The rest of the murabas were agricultural land. Land in Dhuddiwala and the chak itself was owned by three bradries or clans. These were the Wattoos, the Kamonkas and the Balas. With the two murabas that constitute Dhuddiwala, the government had reserved land for expansion. On some of this land refugees settled at the time of partition along with a few families coming from the rural areas. These settlers were permitted to settle free of cost by the Chaudhries, or leaders of the clan, for humanitarian reasons. Due to this, and later developments, the population of Dhuddiwala has increased from 500 in 1947 to 8,080 in 1999.

HOW WE WORK

• Selection of Project Area
• Community Mobilizations
• Project Implementation
• Documentation of the Projest

Find out the Major Cause

Normally inappropriate projects are the absence of documented existing physical and social infrastructure maps, which causes, corruption, inflated costs and severe problems of operation and maintenance, correct social profile of human settlements are necessary for assess the assets, developing revenues, planning and providing of social sector facilities. In absence of adequate Mapping all planning is done on ad-hoc base.

Low cost sanitation

• Mobilization of Social Capital
• Use of Local Material
• Use of appropriate Technology
• Enhancement of local skills
• Employing the local labor
• Elimination of contractor’s role
• Capturing the volunteerism

Component sharing approach

Creates sense of ownership and Dignity, Reduces responsibilities, ensures financial and human resources, involvement of all stakeholders in the O & M,
ASB has developed a mutual trust between all stakeholders (policy makers, planners, implementers and NGO’s) by understanding Governmental process, identifying service delivery gaps.

ASB assists municipalities in data based existing infrastructure documented GIS mapping of Water and Sanitation to analyze and reconcile for
master planning. This process ensures transparency, multi-literal monitoring and accountability which strengthen good governance and rebuild the trust of government departments.

Steps of Social Mobilizing

ASB field Team adopt the following steps for social mobilization and undertaking the physical infrastructure works.

• Identification of the project area
• Social Mapping
• Data Collection
• Existing Infrastructure Documented Map of the Area
• Preparing the poverty profile of the settlement
• Preparing design, cost estimation of Internal & External lines
• Community Dialogues

Examples of our Work

Faisalabad is the third biggest city of Pakistan with 2.5 million population, The numerous slums and squatter settlements around the city are a problem to access & clean water for drinking and sanitation services. Hasanpura, which is a typical low-income housing area of 1,000 households, there is no municipal provision for water supply and sanitation and the residents of Hasanpura pay heavily for the purchase of water and solid waste collection. The Poor drinking water has led to chronic gastric, skin diseases. Another major problem is The Open Drains seeped into foundation of houses, and polluting the underground water. Moreover 95% houses have been damaged due to improper sanitation and unhealthy water system.
