Government Secondary School at Jared. This building
accommodated 300 students. From food to clothes,
medicines to surgical instruments, tents to homes,

Foundation did all that was possible. |

At this time of
devastation and tragedy, our nation showed a
remarkable spirit. Their remarkable
dedication needs to be appreciated as it is
voluntary and reflects a basic humanity
which is beyond recompense. NUR Foundation's
entire effort was possible because it had
generous donors at its back. |

NUR Foundation commenced operations in October 2005,
in response to the devastating earthquake that
destroyed millions of lives across Pakistan. NUR
Foundation was one of the first organizations to
reach Mansehra District of NWFP following the
October 8th Earthquake tragedy.
In collaboration
with its collaborating partner, the
Fatima Memorial
System (Lahore), NUR Foundation provided
medical aid, food and shelter to the affectees. From
food to clothes, from medicines to surgical
instruments, from tents to homes, from breaking
concrete to rescuing survivors, NUR Foundation did
all that was possible.
After the immediate relief
and rehabilitation effort, NUR Foundation assisted
Fatima Memorial System in setting up a
permanent Hospital in
Jared the largest village in the Kaghan Valley
which lost one fourth of its residents and almost
all its houses, in the earthquake. The
infrastructure includes a Hospital building and a
residence for the two Medical Officers who run the
facility round the clock. Back-up medical staff is
available from the tertiary care teaching Fatima
Memorial Hospital (FMH).

The number of general OPD patients has
doubled from 543 in September 2006 to
1087 in April 2007.
Each month 15–20 patients are
provided emergency care and 35–40
are vaccinated.
The 24 hours emergency service at the
FMS Health Facility is of special importance
for the population with such limited access
to health services. Precious lives are being
saved through this service. |
