IMI PRE HAJJ SEMINAR

As part of the annual IMI Hajj Medical Mission, early this September, IMI Pakistan organized the Pre-Hajj Seminar in Shaheed Hamid Ali Bhojani Hall in Karachi.  As is customary, during this seminar, participants were advised about Hajj and their health through sessions such as “Hajj-e-Bait-ullah aur Aap ki Sehat”, "Life style modification and common muscular disorders during Hajj" and a separate session particularly for women on female health concerns during Hajj. An interactive question and answer session was held with consultants from various specialties.  In addition, vaccinations were also given to the hujjaj on-site.    Additional images may be found on IMI’s facebook page and further details on IMI’s Hajj Medical Mission may be found online at HERE

Aid for Somalia

With 2011 classified as the driest year on record in the eastern Horn of Africa, the health, livelihoods and food security of millions of Somalis, Ethiopians and Kenyans are at serious risk.  IMI has already acted upon its responsibility to provide help in the affected region.  IMI began collaborations with humanitarian organizations with local networks in August and is working with BETA Charitable Trust and cooperation for Health and Education Programs (CHEP) to provide assistance with food, water, and livelihoods development. Over the last seven weeks, CHEP volunteers personally reached over 11,666 households (89,929 individuals) in 37 villages and refugee camps, and dug shallow wells to provide access to cleaner water for use in farming activities as well.  IMI’s partnership with CHEP and BETA will provide immediate and long-term relief to those affected through continued food distribution and an increase in the rehabilitation of wells and support of livelihoods including farming activities.

IMI in Somalia: Health, Livelihoods & Food Security  

With 2011 classified as the driest year on record in the eastern Horn of Africa, the health, livelihoods and food security of millions of Somalis, Ethiopians and Kenyans are at serious risk.  While Somalia is considered the epicenter of the crisis, much of the country is still inaccessible to international organizations.  IMI began collaborating with local organizations in the region in August and continues to work with BETA Charitable Trust and Cooperation for Health and Education Programs (CHEP) to provide assistance with food, water, and livelihoods development. Over the last 7 weeks, CHEP volunteers have personally reached almost 12,000 households (approximately 90,000 individuals) in 37 separate villages and refugee camps.  Volunteers dug shallow wells to provide access to cleaner water for use in farming activities as well.  IMI's partnership with BETA Charitable and CHEP will provide immediate and long-term relief to those affected through continued food distribution, and increase in the rehabilitation of wells, and livelihoods development including farming support. The relief and recovery program targets not only the immediate malnutrition, but also provides a sustainable source for water and food, as well as income, for a healthier future.
