  MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

  Sometimes back, prior to the formation of the Lotus, I Had an opportunity to visit the desert areas of Tharparker in Sindh. The trip proved to be highly rewarding in that I was introduced to a distinct style Of living with life ceaselessly being in a state of Conflict with the hostile forces of nature amusing Phenomena to watch from the sideline.The romantic sentiments subsided, however, as soon as I became exposed to the harsh realities and the Divers, killing forms of abject poverty the people of Tharparker were doomed to fight, seemingly forever. The degradation of humanity and helpless state of Affairs that I observed with sadness, changed the Whole of my perception about life and a sense of guilt Kept me surrounding until I dicovered the might of Social work as the only way of some Consolation.Instead of joining to any existing NGO's Most of whom have already been doing a remarkably good Job in their own areas of special concerns, I decided to form one of my own organizations to implement a comparatively different approach toward the problems confronting our society. I have full confidence, that with the cooperation of my colleagues, well-wishers ad supporters, in the Country as well as other parts of the world, to whom we are affiliate with, we will be able to register our Meager contribution to a noble cause wish the Proponents of the movement of social work in the Country as well as in the world, a year of promising Successes and fulfilling.

MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY GENERAL

  I feel myself very fortunate to have been associated for the last four years with an association, the Lotus that has earned respect ad recognition, both at home and abroad for its devotion to the cause of social Welfare and self-less service to humanity. The amount Ad kind of satisfaction and a sense of fulfillment That I draw from my part of contribution, and so meager yet it is, cannot have a parallel in my Accomplishments in other areas of life. All the souls Occupied in social work, I believe, equally cherish and hold dear to this intangible accruement. While one should not feel dejected at the slow pace at which the movement is expanding in the country, the Lack of recognition and lukewarm attitude in the Official circles toward social work, however, sometimes, causes a source of frustration for the Volunteers. More so, because it does not facilitate in creating a distinct and desirable perception among the Masses for their special status in the society and, in some cases, gives rise to undue suspicion and Misgivings. The government of Pakistan, I suggest can Do a great service by just declaring all the Recognized social workers to hold a special status with a privilege of obtaining a preferential treatment And help from all the government departments in all their social work related assignments. Coming back to my own organization, I venture to admit that despite all the best efforts of myself and my Colleagues and the good amount of work done to-date, The Lotus is still away form the take-off stage, Struggling still to overcome its constrains of mainly Financial nature. With the launching of this annual Report, however, we expect streamlining in our Operations as well as a number of important projects to be kicked-off, the ground work for which has already been completed. Attention will also be drawn this year of the international donning agencies toward our work with requests for assistance. Keeping in view the dedication and the spirit of my Colleagues and the members of the Trust, I am quite Confident to have a great year ahead with promising Accomplishments. I am thankful to all my colleagues and friends in Pakistan and the world over for being a great source of inspiration and strength for my organization and me.

LOTUS WELFARE TRUST INTERNATIONAL

 

INTRODUCTION

 

What is the a member of the NGO's family, are Motivated with all the human energy and physical Resources at out disposal, to set the majority of People free from the Lotus and sufferings that Originate form president poverty and various forms of Social injustice prevailing in our society. The very Name of our organization keeps us reminding of this as our main objective as well as the nature and about of Efforts involved in marching ahead. Elimination of Lotus has always been painstaking.

Who is Lotus Welfare Trust International?

 

Unemployment, Poverty is an age-old phenomenon and has persisted in all societies with a variety of its ugly Dimensions. It emanates for economic circumstances and prolongs its duration with isolated, un-noticed Attitudes of the victims of the so-called vicious Circle of poverty. The region of South Asia, in Particular, inhibits majority of the human lot, which is deprived of the minimum very basic prerequisites of

A life worth living. Numerous factors such as a predominantly feudalistic nature of the society, inequitable distribution of income and wealth, missing Role of the state as a welfare entity, low endowment of resources etc. Are some of the factors behind?

Maintaining the status quo. The forces of change, on The other hand, are either dormant or distorted deliberately by the vested interests to discourage the Proponents of progress and equity in the society. In the given scenario, as highlighted above, the fast Expanding movement of NGOs provides a ray of hope for the down-trodden, dejected people of Pakistan. The Lotus Welfare Trust aspires to reach to the remotest Corners of the region to approach the poverty-ridden People plight has hitherto been un-accessed and Unexplored by any messiah. The integration of our Organization with international welfare institutions Provides us with an opportunity to strike our targets in a more enlightened and professional manner. We earnestly desire also to work in close collaboration with other NGOs in the region some of whom have been doing remarkably good in their respective fields.

 

How was it formed?

 

In May 2001, a group of young, energetic and Like-minded fellows constituted the Lotus Welfare Trust International at Karachi. They pledged to devote Maximum of their energy and strength to the cause of Social uplift of the masses and motivate the relatively affluent sections of the society towards the betterment of the otherwise hopeless conditions of the have-not. During a relatively brief period of 4 Years, the Trust has transformed itself into a body of highly dedicated, self-less and professional social Workers with innovation in their approach and Relentless in their spirit.

Why Was It Formed?

 

There must be a sound justification for new NGOs to be formed in the presence of a number of organizations already working actively to the cause of social work in the country. After having an in-depth view of the Existing bodies in the field, we have observed that they are lacking in a few crucial areas, which form the basis of our own activities and future programs.

 

(a) All the Noses, with a very few exceptions, of Course, are mainly concentrated to / around the urban Centers where there already exists the requisite Infrastructure for them to easily access their target Population. Relatively better prospects for projection of their work might prove helpful in intensifying their efforts. But those, the most deserving ones in the rural areas who constitute more than 80% of our Total population gets overlooked in the process.

(b) Most of the already small number of NGOs, who Venture to reach to the rural areas, are relying on Traditional methods which circle round the generation of resources / disbursement activities only. While this approach also has its own merits; the modern Practice of social work requires a more stable, Self-sustaining methodology in striking the problems. After having gained the insight and exposure to international modes of social work, the Lotus social Welfare trust international is anxious to apply and Practice them in Pakistan settings.

CHILD LABOUR

  Child labour is almost invisible to most people, but Child workers are legion in the world. Sold or Exchanged as cheap merchandise, any children cannot Escape bonded labour or prositution.others suffers, and May only barely survives, the long hours of work, the Heavy burdens, the dangerous tools, and the poisonous Chemicals. The strongest will go on, forever bearing The physical and emotional scars of premature labour.At a time when they should be at school And preparing for a productive adulthood, young boys And girls are losing their childhood and, with it, the Prosise of a better future. It is true that all over the world there is increasing awareness of this problem. Nevertheless, a wall of silence still surrounds the worst forms of child Labour, and other barriers of ignorance and self-interst tend to perpetuate it. Only a clear perception of the problem and the firm resolve to combt it will finally eradicate the evil of child Labour.

 

WOMEN'S RIGHTS AND THE FAMILY

 

It was often said that strengthening women's rights of necessity destroys the family.this is a very Shortsighted assumption. A woman protecrted from discrimination and violence, and able to enjoy all her Human rights will be in a far better position to stand up and defend her children and her family. Promoting Gender equality leads to the promotion of equality in a partnership between spouses. Successful family Relationships and coping skills can be acquired. On The other hand, destroying the family means, in most Countries world wide, to leave women alone with her Children and her problems without a partner. Therefore, implementation of sensible laws and Training programmes seems to be a good combination, far better than juxtaposing women to the family. All the documents prove that in civil     matters the family is highly estimated as a guarantee for the well being of its individual     members. The right to family life is to be considered as a basic human right. The family is not just playing an important role in civil matters. Many of the international instruments concerning Criminal matters are addressed to the family and to The protection of human rights of its members, such As, the united nation guidelines for the prevention of Juvenile delinquency (the Riyadh Guidelines), which Emphasize the role of preventive policies facilitating The successful socialization and integration of all Children and young persons, in particular through the Family, as well as through the community and all its Agents. This document states that the society has a Responsibility to assist the family in providing care and protection and in ensuring the physical and mental Well being of children.

CONSERVATION OF BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY

 

The world's biological diversity is a vast and undervalued resource. It comprises every form of life, from the tiniest microbe to the mightiest beast, and the ecosystems of which they are a part. It provides Humanity with a cornucopia of goods and services, from Food, energy and materials to the genes, which protect our crops and heal our diseases. Of some 30 million Species on earth, only about 1.5 million have ever been described. Most species are found near the Equator, with diversity peaking in the tropical Forests and coral reefs. The planet's natural wealth Lies not just in its species, but in the genetic Variations within them. Genetic engineers can use these genes to develop medicines and foods.but Specialized breeding has dangerously narrowed the Genetic variability of many species, cutting their Ability to adapt to pollution, climate change, disease or other forms of adversity. Species disappear naturally over time perhaps 99 per Cent of all those that ever lived are gone but human Activity is speeding up this process. About one Quarter of the earth's species may be lost within the Next 30 years. Species die out as their habitats are destroyed. For instance, more than half the world's Species live in the tropical forests. By 2020 Deforestation could wipe out between 5 and 15 per cent of them. Overexploitation is another threat commercial Interests have jeopardized many species, including Whales and elephants. Industrial and agricultural Pollution have also taken their toll, while the Introduction of competing species into established Ecosystems can have devastating effects. The loss of the earth's biological diversity is one of the most pressing environmental and development issues today with each species that disappears, developing Countries stewards of most of the planet's biological Wealth lose potential for sustainable development. As Natural resources underpin-and are threatened by every Area of human activity, only the broadest possible Cross-sectoral approach can save them. People release Toxic chemical into the environment directly for Instance as pesticides or fertilizers and indirectly as wastes from other combustion once released, many of The chemicals undergo transformation and some may be carried away by the clement to cause local, regional or global chemical pollution.

PLAYING BY WHOSE RULES? A CHALLENGE

TO ENVIRONMENTAL, CIVIL RIGHTS

 

With few exceptions' people come out of law school without having questioned pro-corporate doctrines on Property (i.e., future profits are corporate property; the fruits of employees' labor are corporate property, the right to manage is corporate property . . .). They Accept today's giant corporations as inevitable. They don’t seem to wonder how it came to pass that Corporations became legal persons with free speech and other constitutional rights . . . while workers on Company turf has no Bill of Rights protections. They do not encourage the rest of us to ask why a Sovereign people should permit corporate legal Fictions to elect our representatives, write/pass our Laws, or lie to the public on vital issues. Environmental and labor lawyers are trained not to Challenge prevailing assumptions about the law, and to accept current legal doctrines. And then they train us Corporate lawyers, government lawyers, environmental Lawyers -- all have been funnelling people's time, Energy and resources into stacked deck regulatory and Administrative law arenas . . . where even if we "Win," we don't win much, and where there are few Mechanisms we can use to shift rights and powers from Corporations to people, communities and nature. Movement lawyers should take their cues from activists on the ground. Local organizers should say, "Such-and-such investment and production are Destructive, uneconomical and wrong, but are protected by law and therefore by government. We will educate and organize to stop these Harm doers. We need you lawyers to figure out how we

Can use the law and the courts to help us, or at least not to block us. Please don't lecture us about what we can’t do. Don't come up with legal strategies, which Enable corporatons to hide behind the privileges and Immunities which corporations have taken from the People. And please don't tie our hands." Some of these environmental law groups received immediate support and financial backing from powerful Philanthropies like the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations, and from law firms which represented large corporations. In fact, most populur struggles -- labor, civil Rights, and environmental -- have been taken out of the public's hands. Trade unionists allow their rights as organizers to be defined not by the power they wield but by the National Labor Relations Act. Years of protest by civil rights activists led to federal Laws like the Voing Rights Act which are much less than what people had organized and died for. What did we get? Laws which legalized the poisoning of the air and water, which legalized clear cuting which left unchallenged the privileges and immunides which corporations had usurped during the past century, and which concentrated power in the hands of appointed regulators and administrators insulated from our reach.

 

ALCOHOL EDUCATION

 

The increase in alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems which has been such a striking feature of most western developed countries since the end of world war 11 have given rise to a search for new and effective ways of preventing the adverse health and social consequences of drinking. Nowhere has that search been more vigorous than in the area of alcohol education. The potential benefits of effective educational programmes are great, reaching across the whole drinking population at the same time as they offer the opportunity to focus upon the needs of particularly vulnerable groups. The educational structures are already available, both in the sense of formal institutions such as schools and universities and also through informal media, such as newspapers, television and other media. Additional impetus has been gathered from a general increase in people's awareness of Helth and willingness, at least in some areas, to take positive action. Parallels have been drawn with the area of smoking education, where some campaigns seem to have met with substantial success. Alcohol education appears full of promise. It has few opponents, since drinkers and nondrinkers, governments and the liquor industry, doctors and barmen, all seem to believe that it has as important role to play in encouraging healthier and moderate behavior, particular social policy proposals, such as increasing the price of alcohol, meet with vehement opposition. Even particular treatment approaches can arouse bitter attacks. But Alcohol education generally sails ahead to the stay, if rather undemonstrative approval of the population at large. The question, which emerges, is whether the Popularity of alcohol education is because it is self-evidently harmless or because it can be potentially instrumental in altering what continues to be a deteriorating situation. The search for innovative approaches to alcohol education has produced and enormous expansion in the range and diversity of programmes, materials and campaigns in countries around the world. There can be little doubt that some at least of these efforts are remarkable for their inentivencess, thoughtfulness and energy. All are well intentioned. However, what is far less certain is whether these efforts can really be shown, individually or collectively, to have a positive impact upon Health.

 

To promote the exchange of epidemiological research on a alcohol across cultures based on a wide Rage of methodological approaches.

To foster a comparative understanding of the social aspects of alcohol use and problems;

To share information on current research projects;

To encourage research in the developing world;

My target. Right now there are a lot of areas, which need a lot of development in different walk of life,

And our projects area is one of the most remote areas between them.

 

HOW DID WE CHOOSE THE PROJECTS AREA''?

 

Before choosing Sindh villages as our Project Area we visited several villages and found as the most needy

And the most deserving villages. The names of other villages, which we visited, are listed below:

 

1. Sharafi Goth

2. Dawood Goth

 

After visiting workshop these villages we visited 20 villages we visited five villages of Karachi west,

1. Hoor Nachi Para.

2. Futher Colony.

3. Budhani Goth.

4. Yusuf Goth.

5. Malir Goth.

6. Jaskani Mohallah

7. Landhi Goth.

 

First we did a compete survey and workshop of those villages and got information about the every aspect of

The local people's life and about the problems which they were having. After this diagnostic process we

Felt that people need help and there is so much work to do, so we choose these villages as our projects

Area''.

Why did choose Mari Pur as our Project area''?

At the moment in the said area, there are no basic facilities of human life and it is the most Arid Zone

And extremely disaster area. At the present time there are no roads and people of this village have to travel

A long way to reach the main road. Health services and educational facilities are not available. We felt that

People don't have any facility to deal with these problems. This village needs a development in

Different walks of life. As our policy is to help the poorest and the most

Vulnerable sectors of our country, so we started our

Projects in these villages.

 

What are our activities?

 

Our projects is to provide education, Health, computer information, environment, child labour, handicrafts,

Drinking water facilities to the villagers. To meet his goal we intend to start a school, an industrial home and a dispensary in these villages by using our own means and resources.

Before starting this project they were used to drink water from a canal which is not clean, but now Lotus Welfare Trust International has provided them drinking water Facility by installing hand pumps computer information education. It is multi- purpose projects and we want to improve village's standard of living and provide them facilities in every walk of life.

WATER PUMP AND UNDER GROUND STORE WATER TANK LOTUS

SOCIAL WELFARE TRUST PROJECT

A lack of water is considered the main factor inhibiting the development of a sustainable food Production base in Pakistan. Lotus social welfare trust international works with communities to build earth Embankment dams and masonry weirs for water supplies for domestic, livestock and irrigation purposes. The Trust operates a dam construction unit of four agricultural tractors with dam scoops, trailers and Water bowsers. Despite the use of such equipment, earth dam construction with an adequate impoundment and properly constructed spillway is still an onerous and skilled task. Adequate preparations and precautions must be carried out and it is extremely demanding of manual labour. The sheer physical work is enormous, particularly for the general workers very many of whom will be women desperate to improve their water security situation. Any community engaged in dam building has a great deal of work to undertake which is particularly

Difficult without adequate equipment. Partly because of the exodus of men from the rural areas there are invariably more women and girls involved in dam construction than men and boys. Rocks have to be cleared and sand and aggregate collected for building the rocks into the head wall and spillway of the dam. The foundation of the dam wall has to be dug out, some 5 metres wide and deep enough to either reach rock or a solid underlying surface. A site has to be cleared and prepared from where material for the dam wall can be scraped and the dam wall itself has to be consolidated.Concrete and building mortar has to be mixed for the several local builders who will be involved in the masonry work of the dam.Community work includes the collecting and transporting of large volumes of rock to the construction site to stone-pitch the entire upstream bank to reduce damage from the impounded water. Excavating the core trench for Malir Landhi Dam Apart from livestock and domestic use, the dams provide water for irrigation. Wherever possible irrigation schemes are constructed down-stream of a dam so that water gravitates naturally to garden children without either the initial or the operating costs of engines, motors or pumps. Water is distributed within the children park by canals to flooded beds or to simple low-level tanks from where Water can easily be drawn and carried to the irrigation beds. Water supplied to such small-scale irrigation schemes frequently becomes the corner stone of food security systems within a community. Lotus social welfare Trust international is a key partner in the Give a Hand pump and under ground store water tank Campaign; a collaboration of local and international NGO's Local Government administration, Government agencies, the private sector and Donor partners.
