DevCon - An Association for Rural Development

DevCon places strong emphasis on Operation and Maintenance (O&M) training for school facilities, such as ultrafiltration plants, to ensure the reliable provision of safe drinking water. These trainings help protect the health of students and staff, extend the lifespan of costly infrastructure, and ensure continued compliance with regulatory standards.

In this regard, DevCon teams conducted a comprehensive O&M training for WASH Club members, the focal person, and support staff at Government Boys School (Girls Section), Saud Abad, Korangi, Karachi. The objective of this training was to equip the school administration with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively manage and maintain clean drinking water facilities after the project’s implementation phase concludes in March 2026.

Few weeks back, our Youth Club members carried out ‘prevention of child labor drive’ in target areas of Korangi, and enrolled several dozens of working chidlren into program schools.

DevCon teams handed over 35 uniforms to that same group of children so that they may be encouraged to continue their education. Our teams have so far distributed 1100 uniforms to reduce child labor and dropout rates in target schools.

In addition to providing supplies (uniforms, furniture and stationery) our teams are making efforts to improve learning environment and trained more than 65 teachers on child-friendly teaching strategies as well.
