Both women and men took part in the event. On this occasion, HWF and PPAF distributed approximately 400 walnut trees among the local people, for which the community thanked both organizations wholeheartedly and expressed hope that they would further expand their projects to address the deprivations of the entire village.

Stitching & Embroidery Centre

The Stitching and Embroidery Centre has been established to provide women and young girls in the community with valuable vocational skills. At the centre, participants receive training in stitching, embroidery, and basic tailoring techniques. These skills help them create clothes and embroidered items that can be used at home or sold to generate income. The centre also provides a supportive learning environment where women can build confidence, improve their creativity, and work towards becoming financially independent.

This initiative not only promotes skill development but also contributes to women’s empowerment by giving them opportunities to learn a profession and support their families. By encouraging women to develop their talents and abilities, the centre plays an important role in improving livelihoods and strengthening the local community.

The Stitching and Embroidery Centre has been implemented by the Himalayan Wildlife Foundation (HWF) with the generous support of Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund as the donor. This collaboration reflects their shared commitment to community development, sustainable livelihoods, and empowering women through practical skills and education.

Did you know?

In remote areas like Neelum Valley, access to proper sanitation can directly impact health, safety, and daily life — especially for women and children.

Without safe washroom facilities:
• Water sources can become contaminated
• Water-borne diseases increase
• Privacy and safety become major concerns

That’s why structured, well-planned sanitation systems — with proper drainage, ventilation, and durable foundations — are so important for long-term community health.

Sanitation isn’t just about infrastructure.
It’s about dignity, safety, and sustainable living.

Following a structured and standardized construction pattern, safe and durable washrooms are being developed in Neelum V...

Following a structured and standardized construction pattern, safe and durable washrooms are being developed in Neelum Valley to ensure long-term sustainability and proper sanitation for the community.

Each unit is built with a strong concrete foundation, proper drainage planning, ventilation for hygiene, and a layout designed to withstand the local weather conditions. This approach ensures not just construction — but dignity, health, and improved daily living standards for families in remote areas.

Access to clean and safe sanitation is a basic human right, and projects like these are a step toward lasting community development and public health improvement.

Project implemented by HWF under the funding of PPAF aims to develop a tourism destination at Tehjian, combining infrastructure development with community well-being.

Hidden deep in the mountains, Ain Fort stands like a forgotten memory of the past — silent, powerful, and wrapped in mystery. Surrounded by dense trees and cold winds, the fort carries stories that locals still whisper about. They say after sunset, the atmosphere changes… footsteps echo through empty corridors, shadows move where no one stands, and an uneasy silence fills the air.

Though time has worn down its walls, the structure still holds its strength — a reminder of battles fought, rulers who once lived here, and secrets buried within its stones. Some believe spirits guard the fort, while others say it’s just the wind playing tricks in the dark.

Whether haunted or simply historic, Ain Fort feels different. It’s not just a place you visit… it’s a place you experience.

Getting to Ain fort: From Rawalpindi or Islamabad you would have to first reach Kahuta city, which is one hour drive by public or private transport. Then there are two choices.
Kotli Road choice: continue towards Kotli for a 45 minute drive from kahuta, till you reach Holar bridge ( Karot hydropower project) ask for Tulla village which is a 10 min drive. This is the drop off point followed, by a 3 hour walk along the lake to the village of Ain and the fort.
By boat: depart Kahuta town on Rawlakot Road, continue towards Azad Pattan Bridge, on River Jhelum for 40 minutes. A few kilometres short of the bridge you will reach Garari pull , this is a new pedestrian bridge to cross the river. This is where you park your car and cross the bridge on foot and then rent the local boat will take you to the base of the fort in 15 mins.
This is followed by a 20 mins climb to reach the fort.
