Dear All
Eid Greetings to our Beloved Graduates, Friends, Supporters, and their families,
On this joyous occasion of Eid, may the blessings of this special day extend far and wide. May peace and love everyone in this world, and may the following wishes come true for all: For the hungry, may they find an abundance of food to nourish their bodies and souls. For the unclothed, may they be clothed with warmth and dignity.
May those burdened with debts find relief and freedom from financial struggles. For the homeless, may they find shelter and a place to call home. May those separated from their loved ones be reunited and filled with happiness. For the lost, may they find their way and discover new directions in life. Let us pray for the healing of the sick and suffering, that they may find comfort and recovery. May the weak and impoverished be empowered, regaining their rights and self-respect. May the righteous, just, and honest individuals flourish and become beacons of hope for all of humanity. And may the God-fearing people be strengthened in their faith. As we gather on this auspicious day, may the powerful, greedy, dishonest, and corrupt individuals lose their influence and support, paving the way for a world filled with justice and compassion. Let us offer our heartfelt prayers for the safety and protection of all children, and may parents be blessed with the opportunity to raise their children with grace, justice, humility, and dignity, nurturing them to become exemplary human beings.
Eid Mubarak to one and all! May this festive occasion bring us closer together, fostering love, understanding, and harmony among all people

IDSP -Pakistan is delighted to announce our partnership with the landless farmers in five flood-affected districts of Sibi, Kachi, Jaffarabad, Naseerabad, and Sohbatpur. At IDSP - Pakistan, we have successfully engaged with 335 haris/small farmers, aiming to restore and enhance their livelihoods.
Our primary objective is to assist these flood-affected families in rebuilding their lives. To achieve this, IDSP has implemented a comprehensive rehabilitation program that emphasizes the utilization of local seeds and organic farming techniques.
By promoting the use of local seed varieties and organic farming practices, we work hand-in-hand with these farmers to cultivate crops that are best suited for their specific communities and prevailing conditions.
An integral outcome of our initiative is the establishment of a local seed bank within each community. These seed banks serve as valuable resources not only for immediate crop cultivation needs but also for preserving and exchanging traditional seed varieties for future harvests. By fostering a sustainable and self-reliant system, we envision long-term prosperity for these flood-affected haris/small farmers.
At IDSP - Pakistan, we firmly believe in the potential and resilience of local communities. Through this initiative, we aim to instill a sense of ownership and empowerment among the farmers, enabling them to rebuild their lives and make significant contributions to overall development.
