IRC-Tent City established in Khairpur







The IRC tent city is now ready and has occupied more than 195 families with 1300 people; this figure includes male, female, babies, young and old population.


The tent city is established under the date palm orchard so that maximum shade and protection from hot sun light can be had for an overall tent city.

The 200 tents have been allotted to 195 families according to size of the families; mainly the people are originated from, Kashmore, Jacobabad, Jaffarabad, Shikapur and Dadu areas.



The appealing features of IRC-tent city are:

√ Child friendly school spaces established and IDPs’ kids are studying
√ An indigenous date palm stem built shades called (Ladhis) established for social and cultural activities.
√ Two main blocks are mapped i.e Sachal and Bhitti whereas the Sami road is the main link to these blocks.

√ For proper sanitation conditions some separate toilets are properly placed, like an orange colored toilets for women and some blue colored toilets for male are now become functional and being used.
√ Each mohalla has been given a separate hand pump and washing facility so that water for drinking and washing could be fetched and utilized properly.
√ A tent city secretariat is there to help support IDPs.
√ Electricity is provided across tent city for the provision of light at night time
√ Food and non food items are provided as per schedule and according to ration card.
