Hand Pumps Joint Project with Rotary Club of Pir Jhando

Rotary Club of Lahore Liberty has a special preference for health and hunger projects. The club has done several hand pump projects in the past and therefore we were again looking for locations to install more hand pumps. In this regard, President Raza Jaffri approached DG Saeed Shamsi and requested him if he could introduce us to clubs in remote locations who need financial assistance and would be interested in collaborating with us on hand pump projects.

A week after discussing this with DG Saeed Shamsi, he introduced Rotary Club of Pir Jhando to us. They were looking for assistance in installing 10 hand pumps and had approached the DG for support. This seemed more like a devine intervention!

Rotary Club of Lahore Liberty and Rotary Club of Pir Jhando have joined hands on this project and will install hand pumps in and around Pir Jhando, about 20 minutes drive from Hala, Sindh.

The guest speaker was from SMEDA – Small and Medium Enterprise Development Authority which is described on its website as “Premier institution of the Govt. of Pakistan under Ministry of Industries and Production, SMEDA was established in October 1998 to take on the challenge of developing Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Pakistan”. The speaker stressed on the need to have proper plans as well as checks and balances in place to obtain desired results from any microfinance project. He likened a microfinance effort to a typical commercial bank’s operation and insisted that only good management can ensure effective and efficient functioning of the project.
