Introduction
On 8th Oct 2005, a massive earthquake hit Pakistan, resulting in a loss of 86,000 precious lives, leaving 69,000 injured and 2.8 Million displaced. The earthquake resulted in a mass inflow of refugees from various affected areas all over Pakistan. These refugees had lost their properties, loved ones, and means of sustainable livelihood. Camps had been set up at the time all over Pakistan. One of those camps set up in Islamabad called CDA Tent Village was established by an entity that would later register itself under the name of NHSD. NHSD provided rehab and college education in their camp for one year.
The roots of most of the problems lie in political structure and social fabric which discriminate marginalized sections of society; including the poor, women, children, rural population, etc. change to poverty, illiteracy, and ignorance thus leading to an inability to provide in times of need.
