Madinatul Ilm

Charitable Trust (MICT)

INTRODUCTION: As we complete another year at Madinatul Ilm charitable trust (MICT)

a successful philanthropic organization based in Rawalpindi, Pakistan which has

functioned since 2008, it gives us great pleasure to send out our latest newsletter which

covers our activities from July to December 2011. This was an unusual period for

Pakistan in view of the fallout from devastating floods which struck parts of the southern

Sindh province. In response to this calamity, MICTs teams of staff members supported

by volunteers ventured out to some of the most devastated areas to provide emergency

assistance in the shape of temporary shelter, food and other basic needs. Through the

generous support of many of our supporters, notably the UK based Lady Fatemah Trust(LFT), MICT continues to provide emergency relief to victims of the floods in Sindh,

where the crisis has far from ended.

As we venture in to 2012, we appeal to our supporters for collaboration to continue to

help victims of floods in Sindh who live in miserable conditions. For the next six

months, other priority areas for MICT will remain the cause of helping students in need

as well as expanding our focus on healthcare and modest grants for poor entrepreneurs.

As Pakistan battles continuing inflation and unemployment, we are receiving a large

number of requests from many well deserving students who offer the promise of

academic success but lack the financial resources to achieve their academic goals. It

would be a sheer tragedy if they were left without support to fulfill their career

ambitions.

During the last six months from July to December, we are happy to share the case of ten

young women from Pakistans northern areas identified by MICT and sponsored by LFT,

to attend an academic summer camp in Islamabad. At a cost of just U$400 per student

for the three month period, we helped these promising young women to fill their

academic gaps through attending special classes. Now, we are pleased to report that

three of those students have got placements at medical schools across Pakistan whilewe hope that the rest will successfully follow in their foot steps.

MICT has established a successful track record of intervention to support victims ofnatural disasters. During the period under review and through the generous support ofLady Fatemah Trust (LFT), we successfully completed the fourth phase of a housingproject in a rural part of south Punjab. This is an area which was devastated by floods of

2010, forcing many rural dwellers to camp out under the open sky.

This was an unusual period for Pakistan in view of the devastating floods which strucklarge parts of the Sindh province. In response, MICTs teams of staff members supportedby volunteers ventured out to some of the most devastated areas to provide emergencyassistance in the form of temporary shelter, food and other basic needs. Through thegenerous support of our many supporters, notably the UK based Lady Fatemah Trust(LFT), we reached families living in abject conditions and waiting for emergencysupport. We share a list of our targeted locations across the Sindh province where MICT

has worked in the second half of 2011:

The value of education can never be underestimated for it tackles the root cause of

poverty, opening up vast opportunities for economic development. MICT strives to reach

impoverished communities by facilitating students caught in financial need. Thisinitiative is built upon identifying the most deserving students in financial need followed

by appeals to prospective donors for support. We then periodically track progress of

individual students.

Bibi Sakina (AS) water supply project was launched with the support of Lady Fatemah

(AS) Trust to provide safe drinking water in water scarce areas of Pakistan. During the

six month period under review, MICT undertook and successfully completed a water

supply project to benefit approximately 300 students who are currently attending a

school in Dhudial, south of Islamabad. This is a largely water scarce area where the

local residents rely mainly on periodic rainfall. We have identified further projects and

are currently appealing to donors for financial support to undertake them successfully.

In view of Pakistans troubling economic conditions, food security for low income

families has become a major challenge, especially in areas devastated by floods of 2010

and 2011. The Lady Fatemah Trust (LFT) through the support of its donors sponsored a

major initiative for MICT to deliver food packages to flood victims. Just ahead ofRamadan-2011, MICTs volunteers ventured out to their targeted locations for delivering

food packages to families in need. This enabled many malnourished individuals to put

food on their tables during the fasting month of Ramadan-a period when financially

well off Muslims are especially obliged to care for those in need. MICT reached the

following areas of Pakistan ahead of the fasting month:

FUTURE PLANS

As we go forward, our aim is to continue with MICTs dedicated commitment to help

tackle conditions in crisis hit situations while also building up on our past progress to

continue with human welfare projects. We have put in place a professionally sound

system of financial management involving periodic audits by a professional accountant

while we have internally enforced strict terms surrounding day to day financial

management. In time, we hope for MICT to evolve and attain a prominent status among

high profile and credible community service organizations in Pakistan. Please send us an

email on [email protected] for further information. Also, do visit our website;
