HOPE – an NGO in Pakistan has
always been striving for the betterment of society. From education and health
to research projects, HOPE is always up to something that can contribute in the
wellbeing of society. However, there are many entities that have been helping HOPE
with its mission. One of them is Government of Japan which had funded HOPE to
establish a Formal School in Karachi and later for the expansion of school.
Recently, a consultant on child protection from Japan,
Michiko Ono, visited Pakistan for her research on migrants. Since HOPE – a
Health NGO in Pakistan, is in liaison with the Embassy of Japan, Team HOPE, on
the instructions of Dr Mubina Agboatwalla – a child specialist in Karachi
and chairperson of HOPE, accompanied Ms Michiko to the areas she wanted to
visit for her study.
She visited Sohrab Goth and Bengali Para. The residents
of Sohrab Goth are mainly Afghani migrants, whereas, Bengali para has Bengali
migrants. She did in-depth interviews of the families residing in these areas
with the help of Team HOPE.
