When one of us fell sick, the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) used to put his right hand on our forehead, and say, “Remove the hardship, Lord of mankind, and give healing. You are the Healer. There is no healing but from You, a healing which leaves no illness behind.” [Bukhari & Muslim]

Project Pakistan Model: Development
Organizations
Development
Organizations (DO) are the backbone
of HDF Project Pakistan model. These
are community-based organizations,
which are responsible for administering
and running the project with the help,
and under the guidance of HDF staff.
The salient features of these organizations
are:
- We encourage participation
from both men and women. So we have male and female DOs.
- There is a set
of bylaws that the participants are given that they to agree to become a part
of the DO. In most cases, since many people in the project area cannot read,
the bylaws are read to them and translated in their native language.
- They have to sign
or put their thumbprint to become part of a DO.
- These members then
elect a president and secretary.
- The president and
the secretary are asked to attend a Community Management Skills Training CMST)
workshop.
- The secretary needs
reading and writing skills whenever possible.
- Out of these DOs,
members for health committees and parent teacher association are chosen.
- These development
organizations not only administer and maintain the credit program; they also
encourage savings by the members. These savings are later used for internal
lending.
- Another side benefit
of these organizations is that people learn to sit together and discuss their
other problems and issues. This also generates a feeling of empowerment and
self help.
