Rotary Matching Grant – successful bid for funds

The Umeed Partnership Project has been successful in its bid through the Rotary International Matching Grants Scheme. A grant of $16,190 (funded jointly by Bangor Rotary Club, Lahore Cosmopolitan Rotary Club and Rotary District 1180) has been awarded to support developments at the Umeed Primary School in Minority Community 18 in the Cholistan Desert in southern Punjab. This grant will be used to construct a security fence and gates, latrines for the pupils, a potable water supply and IT equipment and teaching materials.

The Umeed Partnership is conscious of the support provided by the Rotary movement over the past three years, and expresses its gratitude for this generous support.

The Umeed Partnership

is a charity registered in both Pakistan and the United Kingdom to support a project which offers opportunities for empowerment of women in the male-dominated tribal communities of western Baluchistan, one of the remotest and poorest areas of Pakistan adjacent to the border with Afghanistan. The project has recently been extended to slum districts of Lahore and to marginalised Hindu Dalit communities in the Cholistan desert, where provision of education and vocational training in the form of carpentry and woodworking is also made for boys.
