Since first helping IDPs in hosting areas of District Kohat, KP, Pakistan for provision of improved WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) facilities in 2011, WASH has remained PADO’s priority. PADO has worked in communities to ensure the existence of reliable supplies of water ranging from hand pumps, dug wells; and protected natural springs; and PADO has rehabilitated and constructed water supply schemes and sanitation facilities. PADO has also integrated sanitation into its programs, constructing traditional and ventilated improved pit latrines (VIP), thereby ensuring that water supplies are not contaminated by human and animal waste. Since 2011, PADO has promoted the "WASH" (water, sanitation and hygiene) approach in its programs. More recently PADO has provided water to displaced populations. In addition, PADO has promoted community-based management of water points, whereby local communities are engaged in all aspects of project development and they learn how to manage and maintain their water points.

PADO work in the education sector has included construction and equipment of primary and vocational education institutions; as well as providing opportunities, especially for women and disadvantaged youth to access education and training programs at these institutions. In addition PADO undertaken repair work on existing infrastructure and constructed new classrooms, as well as strengthened school PTAs. PADO also established temporary learning centers for IDPs in hosting areas for children to continue their education. PADO further distributed essential school supplies and provided student learning kits to vulnerable children. PADO also conducted enrollment campaigns to raise awareness particularly targeting displaced parents on the importance of continuing their children’s education even during displacement. The campaign aimed to attract parents to send the children and for the children to attend schools.

PADO since its establishment in 2009 has worked in the protection sector including sub sector of Child Protection and Gender Based Violence. PADO strengthen the knowledge on child rights at community level and empowered the IDPs and returnees in identifying protection issues and using referral pathways set up in the community for protection concerns. PADO has built a system at community level that is sustainable on its own and currently is used for dealing with protection issues in the community. The work in protection sector includes formation of protection committees, establishment of women and children friendly centers for provision of protection services and psychosocial support.

Over the years, PADO has encouraged the formation of thousands of village committees, parent teachers association, women based and other community-based groups. PADO has worked with countless local CBOs and local elected members, thus strengthening the growing fabric of local community in virtually every district and agency of KP and FATA where it has operated. Among PADO most notable efforts have been local member’s capacity-building programs in District Kohat.

PADO has worked on the front lines of every natural and man-made crisis in Pakistan since 2009, including: the 2010 Pakistan floods; the FATA IDPs crisis and the dengue epidemic in KP; and since 2010, the subsequent food crises, as well as helping refugees in KP. We do so, however, with the clear intention of addressing longer-term development needs and bridging the relief-to-development gap, once the immediate crisis has abated.
