20 widows received one goat and one sheep each for restoration of their sustainable livelihood, in remote Khamoon Samejo and Abdullah Jat villages of Taluka Jati, Thatta district. The cattle distribution was done by Badin Development and Research Organization (BDRO), in collaboration with Policy and Planning Division, Hamsalim , Korea and Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI). The objectives of this joint BDRO-Hanslim-SDPI collaborative project are to empower flood victims largely women and girls to realize their economic and social rights by providing them goats and sheep and also assisting them to reintegrate into society. This is expected to also raise community awareness and address issues of resettlement of flood victims through participatory approach.
All cattles were vaccinated prior to their handing over to the female owners.
Next distribution of cattle among the flood affected villager is scheduled for March 21.
