2. PROJECT
(1) Title of the Projects
Enhancement of Recreational and Living Facilities for Children
1. Indoor Sports Activity Setup for Small Kids
2. Purchase of Chair and Table for Kids Mess (Dining Hall)
3. Purchase of 40 Bicycles for Kids
(2) Project Site
Al Islah Center is situated in Mardan, the 2nd biggest city of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. According to
[Link]
(3) Background of the Project
Describe the following points. If necessary to provide details, please prepare a separate reference document.
1. Economic and social situation in the target region
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) region continues to face pressing economic and social challenges.
High poverty rates, limited employment opportunities, and underdeveloped infrastructure adversely
affect the quality of life for its residents. Rural communities, in particular, struggle with inadequate
access to quality education, healthcare, and essential public services.
The situation is further compounded by the lasting impact of security concerns and population
displacement caused by past conflicts. These conditions have left a significant portion of the
population vulnerable, with many children having lost one or both parents.
Within this context, the Al Islah Orphan Care and Social Welfare Center serves a crucial role. The
Center provides comprehensive care—including shelter, education, healthcare, and psychosocial
3
support—to orphaned and destitute children, enabling them to develop the skills, confidence, and
resilience necessary to become productive members of society.
2. Development challenges faced by the population. If it is a project for renovation or
rehabilitation of existing facilities, please indicate when the original construction was done.
The project focuses on improving the existing facilities at Al Islah Center, which was originally
established in June 2002.
Currently, the center houses 140 orphaned children between the ages of 5 and 18 years, who live
there on a full-time boarding basis.
The proposed project includes:
a. Indoor Sports Activity Setup for Small Kids – to provide safe recreational activities.
b. Purchase of Chairs and Tables for the Kids’ Dining Hall – to improve mealtime comfort and
hygiene.
c. Purchase of 40 Bicycles for Kids – to promote physical activity and outdoor recreation.
These activities are being initiated for the first time at the center and are intended to address
challenges such as:
a. Lack of appropriate age-indoor and outdoor recreational facilities.
b. Insufficient dining hall furniture for a large group of children.
c. Limited access to physical activity options, which affects health and well-being.
3. Initiatives by the applicant to address the challenges above. Please indicate why you cannot
resolve the problems on your own and you need assistance of the GGP/KUSANONE .
Al Islah Center (AIC) is a non-profit organization that relies entirely on donations to operate. While
we remain fully committed to the care, education, and well-being of the orphaned children under
our responsibility, our limited financial and material resources prevent us from fully addressing the
challenges we face.
We have made every effort to optimize the use of our existing resources; however, the scale of
need—ranging from basic necessities such as food, clothing, and healthcare to essential
infrastructure improvements—far exceeds our capacity. The assistance of the GGP/KUSANONE is
therefore vital. With your support, we can bridge these resource gaps, enhance our facilities, and
provide a safe, nurturing environment that enables these children to grow into healthy, educated,
and self-reliant individuals.
1. Objectives of the Project
a. Indoor Sports Activity Setup for Small Kids
(1) To create a child-friendly indoor space for physical play and social interaction.
4
(2) To support emotional, physical, and cognitive development through safe
sports / play activities.
(3) To provide a protected environment especially during hot, rainy, or unsafe
outdoor conditions
b. Purchase of Chairs and Tables for the Kids’ Dining Hall
To enhance the dining facilities at Al Islah Center by procuring 25 dining tables (2.5’ x
5’) with laminated tops and 150 stainless steel chairs, thereby providing a comfortable,
hygienic, and safe environment for the children during mealtimes.
c. Purchase of 40 Bicycles for Kids
The primary objective of this proposal is to secure funding for the purchase of 40 high-
quality, age-appropriate bicycles to:
a. Promote healthy physical activity
b. Enhance children's motor skills and coordination
c. Provide recreational joy and emotional well-being
d. Encourage a sense of independence and responsibility
2. Expected outcome of the Project
(Enhancement of Recreational and Living Facilities for Children)
a. Indoor Sports Activity Setup for Small Kids
The project will provide orphaned children at Al Islah Center with safe, engaging, and age-
appropriate indoor sports facilities that promote physical fitness, social interaction, and
emotional well-being. Through regular participation in structured play and sports activities,
children are expected to develop improved motor skills, teamwork abilities, self-confidence,
and healthy lifestyle habits, contributing to their overall growth and development.
b. Purchase of Chairs and Tables for the Kids’ Dining Hall
a. Durability: Stainless steel chairs and steel-framed tables are long-lasting and resistant to
damage.
b. Hygiene: Easy-to-clean surfaces ensure better hygiene for daily meals.
c. Safety: Rounded edges and stable designs reduce risk of injuries for young children.
d. Space Management: Stackable chairs and uniform table sizing allow efficient use of the

positive habits among children.
c. Purchase of 40 Bicycles for Kids
The provision of 40 bicycles will offer orphaned children at Al Islah Center an enjoyable and
healthy recreational activity, while also improving their physical fitness, balance, and
5
coordination. Access to bicycles will encourage outdoor play, foster independence, and promote
a sense of joy and freedom, contributing positively to their mental and emotional well-being.
