Project to resolve Energy Crises in Pakistan

Pakistan is a wonderful land with having natural rivers that can be best used for electricity production. Researches have shown that the cheapest mean of producing electricity is by making it from water. For that a grid station is basically built. The cost of building a grid station is high because it generally requires the production of dam, spilways along with placement of turbines for the production of electricity on them.

Pakistan has energy crises all over the country for various reasons. There is electricity load shedding for around 10-15 hours in the villages of Pakistan and 6-8 hours in the main cities including the capital. A fact is that there is no dam built in Pakistan for nearly about 50 years. That is one of the reasons of electricity shortage in Pakistan. At the moment 60% electricity production of Pakistan is based on dams and 40% on the private grid stations that work on furnace oil. There is a strong requirement of new dams or minor projects that should be made on emergency bases so that the crises is dealt properly.

One of the successful areas in terms of electricity production in Pakistan is the province of Gilgit Baltistan. There is a good system of electricity built in the province by Agha Khan foundation with the help of international agencies. Almost whole of the province has no electricity shortage as it is running on small turbines. There are fast flowing rivers in the province that are great for electricity production when turbines are placed on them. Similarly in several areas there are natural streams and reservoirs are made at the end of streams. Similarly there is are electricity production rooms that play their role in such areas.

Energy crises can end up in Pakistan easily if a similar strategy is adopted in the other provinces. The Kabul river flows through half of the province of KPK which can be used for electricity production in the similar manner. Similarly Indus, Jhelum, Chanab, Ravi and Sutlej are five main rivers that flow through the provinces of Sindh and Punjab. Apart from that there are many small rivers that flow through the province of Baluchistan and in the other parts of country. There can be many small turbines built on these rivers in order to deal with the energy crises easily.

The team of HART is willing to work on this project. We have engineers, graduates and experienced professionals in our team that can carry on any kind of major and minor project in this respect. The only problems we face in this respect is the funding for the project. For suggestions, sponsorships and ideas regarding this project you can write us at humanitytrust@hotmail.com so that we can mutually be part of resolving energy crises issue in Pakistan for the prosperity of humanity.

Workshop on the Moral Training of Police

The Police of Pakistan is one of the worst ones in the world. It doesn't have manners to behave with the citizens in the positive manner. The police in Pakistan usually consists of two classes of work force. One is the officer class while the other is the soldier class. The Officer class consists of mainly officers from the Central Superior Services and they are very well behaving for the same reasons. The soldier class comes in direct coordination with the general public. The soldier class mainly consists of people that are low educated and having no ethics. They take bribery for making any frivolous kind of case against innocent citizens including women and children.

We aim at bringing the civil society as well as policemen in a single workshop so that they can learn to interact with each other in a decent manner. This workshop is open for suggestions and sponsorships at the moment. For more do consult us at humanitytrust@hotmail.com

Free Legal Aid for Juveniles

There is a Juveniles Justice System prevailing in the law books of Pakistan. However practically its not well implemented by the courts of law. There are lots of children that are facing trials and imprisonments in the jails of Pakistan for minor offenses. Bad aspect is that there are children that are accused of offenses and they are in the jails neither acquitted nor convicted.

Children are future of any nation. When it comes to Pakistan there are thousands of children of Pakistan that are imprisoned in jails. The nature of Pakistani jails is such that the people living in them turn habitual offenders in life. The future of Pakistan is at stake as the children present in jails are having bad influence. They are not going to schools, they are not having a healthy lifestyle and what they are learning is from the surrounding of criminals in jails.

We have launched this project in order to secure the future of Pakistan. We aim at bringing these children out of jails and giving them the best possible education so that they can become role models for the society. The organizations that are willing to work with us in any manner in this project should contact us at humanitytrust@hotmail.com so that we can join hands together in this battle..

Free Legal Aid for Women

There are plenty of women in the jails of Pakistan that are innocent. There cases are either adjourned sine die or they have been wrongly convicted in offenses which they have never done. There are frivolous accusations on women regarding offenses of 9-A, 9-B, 9-C(CNSA), 302, 324, 34, 420, 471, 468, 374 and various others from PPC. There are cases in which FIRs against women are lodged by police in personal grudges. Similarly in many cases the investigation officers were bribed to lodge frivolous FIRs against the innocent women.

There is no one that can look after such women not even the State of Pakistan. The problem is that these women cannot afford lawyers and other expenses related to their cases. There are stories of women that are present in the jails of Pakistan for many years. Some women even have their children with them and no one cares for them.

We are launching this project in order to provide innocent women a chance to get acquitted from the courts of law. Even if a woman has done a minor offense and she is facing injustice then we aim at fighting her case on merits to get her punishment reduced according to the law. If a major institution like UN or USAID will sponsor this project of ours then it will be great. Otherwise we will gather up donations and fight for the innocent women prisoners of Pakistan. For suggestions and discussions on this project you are welcome to write us on humanitytrust@hotmail.com at your convenience...

Free Stitching School

The project free stitching school is all about enhancing skills among the individuals. This school aims at offering free stitching classes to people that are unemployed so that they can start earning sitting at home. The main focus area of this stitching school are the women. This is an excellent project for empowering women as they can run their own businesses from their homes once they know the art of stitching.

Professional tailors will be hired initially for organizing workshops in which the skills of stitching will be taught to individuals. Once the first batch of women get training from free stitching school then they will be hired for work. The outfits stitched by the women will be sold all around the world and they will get paid from our organization for their work if they wish to work with us. Otherwise the women that will leave the school after learning stitching will be given certificates.

The basic purpose of this project is to support poor women so that they can run their own houses. However we haven't imposed any bar on women belonging to good families. Anyone can join this school and learn the art of stitching in the most professional manner. That will ultimately result in the growth of skillful people in the stitching industry. You are most welcome to join us for stitching and for donating in any manner suitable for you. For more send us an email at humanitytrust@hotmail.com
