The two main projects that NIN wanted to accomplish this year have now been completed and are up and running.

Firstly the project of providing good quality Ambulances in the Kashmir region of Pakistan was launched in March this year. Due to everyone’s generous donations we were able to buy one large size vehicle and a smaller vehicle and convert them into ambulance

Both ambulances are equipped with first class facilities including self loading stretchers to international specifications, oxygen bottles, blood pressure monitoring machine and wash facilities. The larger vehicle is also fully internally wired for ECG machines or any other medical equipment which requires a power supply.

These ambulances are now operating and ferrying patients locally in the Kotli region and many trips have also been made to Islamabad ferrying patients for urgent medical treatment. Deceased bodies from the hospitals have been transported free of charge by NIN for those who can’t afford it.

Thankfully so far the running costs and overheads are being met from the funds generated from paying patients which include two drivers, stationery and a small office.

The other project of providing water wells in Kashmir has also been successful. We have built two water wells and a third water well is in the last phase of completion. These water wells are providing clean water for approximately 20 families who would normally have to travel long distances to bring home a few litres of drinking water.

Again with your kind donations we are now helping these families to have the most basic necessity of drinking water (which we all take for granted) provided at home or nearby for them.

Thank you all for the contributions you have made to make our appeals a success within such a short time frame.
