The Fast Rural Development Program (FRDP), in collaboration with the Research Development Foundation (RDF) and with technical support from Welthungerhilfe and financial assistance from German Cooperation, has been actively working to develop strategies and interventions in the urban slums of Hyderabad to address this urgent issue. A key component of this project is to review the WASH-related laws and policies.

Recognizing the urgent need for a school, Islamic Relief Pakistan with support of the Education Department addressed the issue. Despite the initial obstacles, including the dilapidated state of the existing school, a community organization was formed to advocate for renovations. Their collective efforts led to the approval of a school rehabilitation project, revitalizing the learning environment for local children. The collaboration between the community, education officials, and Islamic Relief proved instrumental in transforming the educational landscape of Malook Machi. Through active engagement and strategic partnerships, the project secured funding and ensured transparency in contractor selection. The newly inaugurated school not only provided improved facilities and dedicated staff but also created job opportunities, fostering economic empowerment within the community. This successful initiative highlights the power of collective action in overcoming adversity and nurturing the aspirations of the village's children.
