🤝 Strengthening Livelihood Pathways Through Skills

Under the Helvetas–IPVC project, toolkits were distributed among 75 trainees who successfully completed four-month vocational skills training at Haris Institute and Habiba Beauty Salon and Academy. The trainees completed courses in General Electrician cm CCTV Installation, Beautician, and Dress Making.

Many of them were previously engaged in labour work, domestic work, or home-based income activities with limited earning opportunities. Through market-relevant skills and practical toolkit support, they are now better equipped to pursue safer, more dignified, and sustainable livelihood pathways.

This intervention reflects the project’s commitment to transforming vulnerability into opportunity through skills development, protection, and livelihood support.

📚 Supporting Access to Education for Vulnerable Children
📍 Choli Bala, Shagai Kali | 05 May 2026

Following a field assessment, educational support was extended to a community-based learning centre operated by Al-Khidmat Khawateen Trust Pakistan in Choli Bala, where resource gaps were affecting the quality of the learning environment for enrolled children.

A total of 155 students benefited from the distribution of essential educational supplies, including study tables, book sets, floor mats, water coolers, glasses, and marker boxes. The support aimed to improve classroom conditions, strengthen student retention, and help reduce the risk of dropout, particularly among children previously engaged in child labour.

This intervention reflects a continued commitment to creating safe, supportive, and inclusive learning spaces where vulnerable children can continue their education with dignity and confidence.

Strengthening disaster-resilient infrastructure in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Under the project “Capacity Development for Disaster-Resilient Infrastructure for Safer Communities,” Helvetas Pakistan conducted capacity needs assessments in D.I. Khan, Swat, and Charsadda in consultation with planners, designers, engineers and sub-engineers from government departments, skilled and semi-skilled infrastructure workforce, community O&M representatives, and local civil society organizations.

The assessments helped identify district-specific capacity gaps and training priorities for climate- and disaster-resilient infrastructure planning, design, construction, supervision, operation, and maintenance. The findings will support the development and contextualization of training modules on orientation and awareness, feasibility assessment, risk-sensitive planning, climate-informed design and supervision, safe construction practices, inclusion and accessibility, operation and maintenance (O&M), retrofitting and upgrading, and monitoring, evaluation and learning.

Through this process, the project aims to strengthen local skills, institutional capacity, and community preparedness for improved disaster-resilient infrastructure in vulnerable areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The project “Capacity Development for Disaster-Resilient Infrastructure for Safer Communities” is implemented by Helvetas Swiss Intercooperation – Pakistan and funded by German Development Cooperation.
