A case Study OF Mr. Hakim Ali

Mr. Hakim age about 40 years old of Village Dur Mohammad Chachar U/C

Ranwati, Taluka Obaro, District Ghotki , a poor farmer and sometimes having

driving of vehicle “Tractor Trolly” for Sugarcane etc. He Have 4 Children (3 sons

& 1 baby Girl and all have less than 15 years.)

Before rain flood of 2012 he was residing in very cheap and simple style of

shelter , which was made of double pitch roof but in very poor condition with

Straw and mud.

During this rain flood 2012, he and his family became homeless and his house

has been destructed because of no any bearing capacity load of that type of poor

shelter with poor roof Installation work and etc.

After flood ,when he come back at his home that still he was not able to

construct the good stable home, because hardly he manages the food for his

family.

He is very poor and having no any source of income Like: Agriculture, livestock

etc. His source of income is wage labor.

When our Community Research Development Organization (CRDO) team

look and meet with him in this said village then priority given to this household for

the One Room shelter (ORS) with fully advice of village committee (VC).

We hope that may be our (CRDO – IOM) shelter will be very helpful for his

family.

He is really Very Hardworking and true spirit man because whenever we

introduced our shelter program in which soil testing , Trial Mixes and different

Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) techniques will be used with lime and lime

stabilized soil for the long life of shelter. Then he was showing & taking too much

interest for making this Shelter and also he taken too much participation for

making of Trial Mixes , wall Render & Plaster and Floor/Roof screed for using

different ratios, which was told from the Consultancy of “STRAWBUILD”. And

also he did follow and attended all Technical Trainings from CRDO-IOM field

Staff Team for making of that type of shelter. And also IOM-CRDO support and

help to Each beneficiaries in the shape of cash total PKR : 30000/= in 3

tranches for their making plinth, wall & roof with lime stabilized shelter.

And now finally he is moved to Constructed the DRR CRDO-IOM shelter with

consultancy of “Strawbuild” techniques for using the lime and lime stabilized

soil for the long life of shelter.
