Mr. Khair Muhammad Kahari worked as a laborer in Karachi and nearby towns to support his family. As the sole breadwinner, his daily earnings were the only source of income for his household. However, three years ago, at the age of 60, he developed a severe eye infection that gradually resulted in loss of eyesight and body tremors, making him unable to continue working. The sudden loss of income placed his family in an extremely vulnerable situation, with difficulties in meeting basic needs and managing medical expenses. Their damaged shelter further increased their hardship. RDCO’s Comprehensive Support RDCO facilitated Mr. Khair Muhammad’s eye surgery in Hyderabad and supported his one-year recovery by providing monthly food rations, cash assistance, and rebuilding his family’s damaged home. To restore their livelihood, RDCO gifted them 10 goats, which the family successfully managed and grew into a herd of 16. The daughter-in-law oversees the livestock—recently selling four goats to cover urgent expenses while keeping 12 as a lasting financial asset—while the son contributes additional income as a daily wage laborer, vastly improving the family’s stability and nutrition. Impact and Current Status The family’s situation has vastly improved. Managed by his daughter-in-law, the goat herd grew from 10 to 16. The family recently sold four goats to cover urgent expenses, keeping 12 as a continuing financial asset. Additionally, Mr. Muhammad’s son earns a steady income as a daily wage laborer. Mr. Khair Muhammad Kahari’s story reflects how timely humanitarian support combined with sustainable livelihood assistance can transform vulnerable families. RDCO’s integrated approach— covering healthcare, emergency relief, shelter rehabilitation, and livelihood recovery—helped the family move from dependency toward self-reliance. Today, the family has regained confidence, improved its living conditions, and possesses productive assets that continue to support their journey toward a more secure and dignified futur
