Teaching mothers; (What programme will teach each mother. What diarrhea is and how it is transmitted. How to prepare the rehydration solution. What can go wrong if the quantities are not right (too much salt, too large a dose. When to consult a doctor.) 
IRDP is also conducted programmes for mother in whom we teach them how they can prepare the ORS and give their child ORS during diarrhea. The message is delivered to them how to treat the children during diarrhea. The treatment consists of a of how to prepare Nimkol (the solution of sugar and salt) given orally to replace both the water and electrolytes lost in diarrheal stools and will also explain the condition of the child  in which this solution will be given.
Breast-feeding is also promoted along with growth monitoring and ORT.Seminars and workshops have been conducted held to the mothers. In these seminars and workshops we have also explained them the breast feeding provides immunity which is transferred from mothers to breast-fed infants, and thus helps to protect them from malnutrition and infection, including diarrheal infections. Counseling for mothers and caretakers, Micronutrient supplements, management of severe malnutrition are major activities of their contrast; bottle-fed babies are more likely to be malnourished, to contract infections, and to die in the first year of life.

Girls coaching center;

Helping girls to get an education;

In rural areas of Pakistan, boys are three times more likely than girls to complete their primary education.Female literacy is just 35%. For men it is 61%. Parents who cannot afford to send all their children to school usually send the boys and keep the girls at home.
In this coaching center the girls who have completed the primary education, have drop out form the school due to any reasons they will have a chance to complete their metric standard education (Free) within three to five years.
we support projects to help girls and women get an education. One approach is focusing on innovative phonetic methods of teaching. This helps young women learn quickly so they can catch up on the education they missed.IRDP coaching centre is working from last 12  years. It is situated in Warispura St #10 Faisalabad.
