RAWO Set up at Thallian Village, DI Khan District
RAWO has taken a bold step in Sept 2017 by launching welfare projects outside Karachi. A unit of RAWO was established in Thallian Village District DI Khan. It is a small village about 50 KM West of DI Khan. It’s all mud houses except the mosque. There is no electricity, no water, no communications, no economic activity etc. Agriculture and cattle grazing is the only commitment of the people which is in its most primitive stage. It depends on rains in the mountains and the runoff is used as water source for all purposes. The rain fall is not regular thus causes draught and famine of highest order.
