Fazal Mamdot Foundation

Foundation

Fazal Mamdot Foundation (FMF) is a non-profit and non-government organization whose mission is to improve the living conditions of the people of Mamdot, Punjab, especially women and children. FMF addresses issues such as lack of medical services, provision of clean water, organizing camps for blood donations, Eye Camps ending preventable child deaths, and educational services. For the past ten years, FMF has extended free medical services to residents, eliminating the need for patients to travel to the nearest city hospital to receive treatment. FMF’s mission is to treat all patients equally regardless of their race, religion, or socioeconomic status. Over 80% of village residents are still illiterate and cannot perceive the importance of vaccination. Due to the relatively high child mortality rate, FMF partners with local government to educate mothers on child vaccination programs to help save precious lives.

Active Projects

Free Clinic & Dispensary

FMF runs a free clinic and dispensary to address common illness and provide timely and effective emergency service evacuation / transportation to the nearest hospital for serious illnesses. Patients are not charged for prescription drugs. Resident nurses make frequent visits to elderly patients’ homes to administer medicine. For the past few years, individuals from neighboring towns have also visited the clinic to receive medical services. A dedicated team of volunteers help run the day to day operations of the clinic and maintenance of the facility. Mrs. Zaib un Nisa, an elected member of Punjab Provincial Assembly inaugurated the free clinic in May 2015. During her inaugural address, she emphasized the need and role played by charity organizations to uplift the quality of life for people living in remote villages / areas across the province.

Water Supply System

Traditionally it was the responsibility of women and teenage girls to fetch water from a drinking water well located about two miles form the village of Mamdot. Female residents would carry 1-2 containers over their heads to bring water for their families. After numerous requests, the Punjab government approved funds for a self-maintenance water supply system, which pumps water form a water well to the central water tank. Due to poverty in the area, residents could not pay their share for daily operation and maintenance of the water supply system. Since 2013 FMF has allocated funds to bear the operational cost, manpower salaries, Spare parts, Electricity Bills and other materials thus relieving the villagers of the recurring monthly financial burden. A more structured oversight by FMF has also reduced the downtime for any outages to ensure no disruption of provision of water to resident homes.

Completed Projects

Bringing Light to the Darkness

The residents of the Mamdot village have long relied on lanterns or battery-operated torches to navigate the narrow streets, but these makeshift lighting solutions pose inherent risks to the safety of the residents. In a significant development in 2023, the FMF board decided to address the issue of inadequate lighting in the village by installing solar streetlights. This initiative aims to improve mobility for the locals during nighttime. The project was implemented in phases, with the initial pilot phase involving the installation of 20 solar lights in 2023 and another 20 lights were installed in March 2024, thus enabling Mamdot to have well-lit streets.

Each solar streetlight has a capacity of 90 watts and is equipped with motion detection technology. During normal operation, the lights will remain at 30% capacity from dusk till dawn, conserving energy. However, when motion is detected, the lights will automatically increase their brightness to 100%. Although solar streetlights are a new concept for the locals, the initial feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and their successful implementation in Mamdot could serve as a model for neighbouring villages.

By implementing solar streetlights, the Mamdot village has not only enhancing the safety and convenience of its residents, but also demonstrated a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution to address the issue of inadequate lighting in rural areas.

Future Projects

Medical Complex

The nearest government hospital with advanced diagnostic and treatment options is located three hours away and the majority of the residents cannot afford treatment costs at the hospital. Therefore, FMF plans to transform the current facility into a full medical complex to expand its services to help save lives. This will be a state-of-the-art medical complex with more physicians, dentists, eye specialists, and other health professionals making regular visits to administer sustained services to those in need of continued treatment. FMF is considering acquiring land for the new medical complex at a central location to provide access to a broader population of Mamdot and nearby towns such as Adlakka and Chakwalian.

Quality Educational Institute

There are only two government schools in the village: an elementary school for girls and a middle school for boys. Due to a lack of funds and proper supervision, the majority of children lose interest and drop out of school in order to enter the workforce at a young age. For generations, a comprehensive number of children have opted to join either the armed forces or take non-skilled low-paying labor jobs, which do not lift their families above the poverty line. FMF is working on a long-term project to open a high school for boys and girls to ensure that every child has access to quality education and a fair chance of getting a decent job to help financially uplift his/her family. This project requires support from local politicians and other influential individuals.

Solar Tube Wells

Due to the lack of an irrigation canal system, farmers in the area are dependent on rain for their crops. The climate in the area has changed over the past two decades due to lack of sufficient rains, which has resulted in sub-par crops and further pushed a significant population below the poverty line. Most farmers do not have the funds to establish tube wells to ensure a regular and consistent income from the agricultural lands that they manage. Moreover, the high cost of electricity and other fuel-based tube wells remain out of their reach. FMF has partnered with other non-governmental organizations (NGOs)and is looking for a bank to arrange subsidized loans for solar tube wells. These wells have a lower operation cost and can help farmers payback loans and have a stable income.
