As well as the projects we are jointly implementing with our local partner in Pakistan, CAMP, we believe it is also very important to help build both administrative and technical capacity within CAMP.

Construction of New Bedadi Village Progresses A Pace Drag
Construction is now underway on 26 plots at the new Bedadi village with ten plots nearing completion. As much of the work as possible is being undertaken by residents of the village; from skilled joinery and masonery to basic labouring.
Presentation of Trauma Kits to FATA Hospitals
At a ceremony in Peshawar in November 2008, kits designed for the initial care of trauma victims in hospital were presented to representatives of the FATA agencies. The first FATA training courses for doctors in Primary Trauma Care (PTC) were in December 2007 and January 2008 when the feed back from the delegates emphasised that there was a severe shortage of basic equipment for treating trauma cases.
FATA Doctors Now Qualified to Train Others in PTC
The Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA) in the north west of Pakistan, bordering Afghanistan, has been a site of increasing violence. This situation has been met head on by IDEALS with the establishment of a training project in Primary Trauma Care (PTC).
New Bedadi Village is now complete
Over 3 years after their homes were destroyed in the earthquake of October 2005 the villagers of Bedadi have at last moved into their new homes. There have been many difficulties to overcome. But despite the great delays, the village was finished to a very high standard of construction at the end of January 2009, a view that was recently echoed by a senior inspector from the Earthquake Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Authority.

The First Step Towards Helping Mothers and Babies in FATA
After many months of negotiation a midwifery course entirely supported by IDEALS began in early April 2009. In FATA one in ten children die in infancy (UK=1/200) and one in two hundred mothers die in pregnancy or childbirth (UK=1/8,000). Current midwifery services are almost non existent.
Care in the community
Andy Ferguson the Technical Director has identified a need for the IDEALS to cooperate with the Al Asdiqaa Association (AAA) in order to assist with the care in the community of children with cerebral palsy and other neurological and musculoskeletal conditions.
