The overall physical and mental health of populations is associated with factors such as age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, employment, education, and housing, as well as external factors such as living conditions and the environment. Living in a large urban area can impact our health and sense of well-being through access to health services and recreational opportunities. These are key components to a good quality of life and high average age. Educational achievement is essential for effective participation in society. Increasingly, urban societies are becoming knowledge-based and urban economies require innovative solutions to meet market demands. People‟s ability to keep updating skills during their working lives is important if they are to keep pace with rapidly changing work environments. Access to life-long learning opportunities is also related to people‟s need for self-fulfillment and self-determination.

•  Improved Child Health Project – FATA: PAIMAN launched USAID funded Improved Child Health Project FATA‟ in January 2008 in three agencies including Bajaur, Khyber and Mohmand, and two Frontier Regions of Kohat and Peshawar in partnership with Save the Children-US. The project aimed to improve the health status of children particularly and the community generally in FATA through Mobilization and awareness covering improvement in health services, access to health facilities, and functioning of health facilities. Various activities were being undertaken e.g. male and female awareness sessions, holding of Child Health Days (CHDs) on a regular basis along with doctors and medicines, Advocacy meetings with different stakeholders, campaigns in schools/educational institutions, meetings with religious groups to sensitize them about the health care of children, identification, training and hiring of Male and Female Health Workers in Non-LHW covered areas to increase the access, improve the health facilities, formation of Quality Improvement Teams through Partnership Defined Quality (PDQ) process and BCC strategies. PAIMAN‟s mobilizers also educate men on the use of condoms and create awareness regarding HIV/ AIDS. This is an opportunity to utilize our services for the prevention of HIV/AIDS because it is experienced in our society that most cases of HIV/AIDS in females and children are innocent. It is transferred from their male partners due to their lack of education and awareness of the disease they got in foreign countries, especially the Middle East.
• Primary Health Care Project: PAIMAN has implemented the HC project in partnership with PLAN Pakistan in Chakwal District based on the Child-Centered Community Development approach. The aim of the program was to improve the health status of the people of Chakwal especially mothers and children through community participation. Social stigma and taboos limit the current understanding of sexual behaviors and epidemiology of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in commercial sex workers/prostitutes, particularly in remote areas of Pakistan. In 2004, we designed a study to determine risk behaviors and prevalence of STIs of female commercial sex workers (FCSWs) in Faisalabad, Rajanpur, Dera Gazi Khan, Thatta, and Hyderabad. After the findings and analysis, PAIMAN carried out orientation with the In-charge of the female sex workers (FSWs) regarding safe sex ways, use of condoms, and screening started from time to time in 2004-2005 till to date. PAIMAN has carried out orientation regarding safe sex measures from time to time in different prisons of the country including some 434 prisoners in Hyderabad, Dera Ghazi Khan, Rajan Pur, and Thatta in 2006-2008. Despite a heightened commitment by the government of Pakistan to combat AIDS, levels of awareness remain low – while social taboos mean that marginalized communities, such as Male Sex Workers (MSWs) and Female Sex Workers (FSWs), remain vulnerable and at risk of falling victim to an infection that is feared could assume the proportions of an epidemic in the years to come.
