education at all. Young girls of aged 06 to 14 are working and helping their mothers in making

and finishing the tasks assigned to them by middle men against extremely low remuneration

while working 10-12 hours daily under conditions that are frequently harsh, Unhealthy and

hazardous. FRDP worked for those home based workers of UC Kot Mir Muhammad and UC

Hadal shah to reduce the role of middle men and link home based workers to market.

2. Demonstrate if and how this project still fits within the context. So, what is the link of

the project with other initiatives in the same sector? And what difference does the

project make to the sector?

D. Reflections on project achievements in the reporting period

Achieved activities having enough change in HBWs progress and performance as role of

middle man has strongly been 90% rejected in targeted communities, home based

workers have been educated and been provided proper knowledge of new products and

linked them to markets. Value of self-employment is certainly owned by people therefore

the purpose of activities to link HBWs to market is at satisfactory step. Exposure visits

and exhibitions revealed the fact and massaged to working women about right path to

earn good and to deny contacting with middle man anymore. It was noticed at the

begging of project women so far are engaged with different kind of hand making items

but are not having justice due to interfere of middle man that is gradually eliminating

after having awareness sessions.

1). Objectives and outputs / outcomes

The objective of linkages HBWs with market is to generate a chance of self-earning who

have been facing many challenges and issues for many years, FRDP addressed

reasonable issues with trade unions to take them out from ingrained situation toward

healthy life with the support of self employment producing handicraft items, FRDP also

made page on social media where items displayed for the purchasing, if any one need

these products FRDP team sharing the contact numbers of those HBWs who making

these products for direct purchase, FRDP also felled need of some micro credit

institutions so contacted many local MCI’s for microfinance purpose, finally Khushali

Bank came in action to help them out providing loan for producing craft and to sustain

their lives. Khushali Bank intallay started the working with three villages to pilot the

project then move for other villages. Some beneficiaries are getting loans and purchasing

machines or required equipments for hand-making products, completing own needs by

producing craft and to link with markets without contacting any middle man.

a. Principal objectives

The standard objective is to generate a way for home-based workers to reach at markets

and reducing the role of middle man and get more profit on their products which is not

possible in presence of middle men. Three hundred beneficiaries polished by FRDP are

key-informative to replicate those learnings in targeted communities, here it does not end

there would be a big number of indirect beneficiaries as the trained beneficiaries will

rotate their skill to others and will generate large number of skilled persons in community

to eliminate role of third hand and communicate directly in markets for own products.

Page 15: Project Final Report ONL

b. Operation specific objective (please use indicator(s) and source(s) of verification)

Linkage home-based workers to market and reducing the role of middle man to

improve their living condition through earning optimum livelihood

Build capacity of direct beneficiaries on trainings, mobilization meetings,

awareness sessions about advanced with modern tool and technique to promote

and sell their crafted items on good-prices

Address all social and economical problems faced by home-based workers in

advocacy workshops, seminars and meetings with trade unions, government line,

chamber of commerce and NGOs to identify with possible solutions.

Intervention pre-set and design layout that were kept during trainings sessions:

All training sessions incorporated were based on the principles of participant cantered

learning. It was intended that participants should be active in each training session.

The facilitators run the discussions through participatory methods such as

brainstorming, small group discussions, role play, case studies, and question and

answer sessions retarding the objective of project.

Specific Objectives of the project are as under

Diversified rural livelihood support to Home based workers

Enhance living conditions of home based workers by providing them opportunities to

be skilled at desired proficiency for livelihood improvement

Developing linkages of home based producer cooperatives to minimise the role of

middle-men

Raise the voice for rights of home based workers

Addressed social protection issues of home based workers

3.) Beneficiaries

The direct beneficiaries 306 hundreds and 34 that work as marketing persons have been

trained that will rotate the given massage and skills to indirect beneficiaries to reduce the

role of middle man and to link with markets in order to earn good living through their

crafts items.

4). Challenges

FRDP to encourage women to direct contact in market and reduce the role of middle

man, while it was noticed during the implementation of project, many communities

do not let their women for outside as market visit due to local culture, in such critical

condition FRDP mobilized men and women and showed extreme sympathy for their

economy condition to direct link with markets, finally succeeded.

Coordination with different microfinance institution was carried out but response by

them was disappointment therefore Khushahali Bank started only three villages as

pilot project and after that they increase it further villages.

5). Monitoring and evaluation

All ongoing activities were monitored and evaluated by M&E Officer to ensure the

progress, success, failure, strengthen and weakness of project, all gaps used to be shared

with team in meeting and strategies were recommended for future implementation,

Executive Director FRDP also visited project area and share it thoughts with team &

meet with stockholders about the current project progress sharing, somehow team was

oriented time by time if needed to achieve the project activities successfully.

RUBEENA…….. A HBW

In a village Fazil Faqeer Rahojo, lives a thirty-nine year old woman, Rubeena with the

responsibility of six children and a husband. She lives in extremely poor conditions, with

no proper sewage system, thus attracting various diseases. She has no separate working

place instead she works at her own from for approximately nine to ten hours a day. In

return she only gets 300 to 500 Rs. Moreover she also has to deal with the problem of

inconsistency of availability of work.

Rubeena is solely dependent on the

middle man for work and although she

knows the exploitation the middle man

carries out, she is reluctant to argue in

fear of losing work. She lives under a

constant threat of uncertainty and

according to her just can’t afford to take

any risks. Her troubles don’t end here, as

she is embroidery maker she has to face

many health issues as well. Her hands,

especially her fingers are all bruised, she

now has a bent backbone due to long

hour’s constant work and she also seems

to have trouble with her eyesight.

Her mobility is restricted primarily because her husband doesn’t allow her to go to the

market alone. She is dependent on the males of her family to get her raw materials and

sell the finished goods in the market. She has absolutely no market information and lacks

of skilled training makes her work inefficient. All she asks for is her rights. She requested

skill trainings, easy access to market and its information, easily accessible sales outlet

and social security. She’s been an embroidery maker for almost six years, but she cannot

see circumstances get any better. The ever increasing inflation and her ever decreasing

income do not seem to jell together well.
