HDF Shamsabad Short Listed For Sind Women’s Health Project

By Ghazala Panhwar

Sindh Women’s Health Project has been initiated and established by Government of Pakistan with major funding (80%) from Asian Development Bank. The remaining project cost will be borne by Government of Sindh. Initially this project will be based in four “women-friendly” districts of Sindh province - Badin, Naushahro Feroze, Shikarpur and Tharparkar.

While many NGOs had indicated interest, only five were short listed. HDF Shamsabad is one of them. All the short listed NGOs were invited by the project staff for a one-day workshop at Karachi for final selection.

Zahid Jalbani, Ghazala Panhwar and Gulshan Dars from HDF Shamsabad Region participated in the workshop. The workshop provided a good opportunity to introduce HDF to potential donors and the community, as well as to other NGOs.
