Climate

Community-led climate resilience from Lasbela — not deck slides.

Balochistan faces recurring floods, heat stress, and infrastructure gaps that hit rural households first. WANG works from Ahmed Abad Wang, Bela, District Lasbela, where community response speed and trusted local leadership matter as much as funding. This page summarizes WANG’s field model: youth climate leadership, disaster recovery, resilient shelter where WANG has delivered it, and solar-enabled learning hubs — validated in part by CAREC Gender Climate Champion 2024 recognition.

How WANG works

Training, relief, and infrastructure in one loop.

Youth and women as first responders

Climate programs fail when they treat communities as passive beneficiaries. WANG invests in train-the-trainer cohorts so young people and women can coordinate early warnings, document losses credibly, and connect households to support — including through WIRE where women lead household recovery decisions.

Flood relief tied to longer recovery

Emergency food, shelter materials, and re-enrolment for children are staged alongside lab continuity so learning does not stop when schools close. Journal coverage documents flood cycles and community response in Lasbela.

Solar as resilience, not romance

Solar backup at WALI and village-level installations reduce dependence on diesel generators and keep communication hubs alive when the grid drops — critical during disasters and extreme heat.

National reach

Climate-aware digital literacy scales with Urdu AI.

When communities understand AI and digital tools in Urdu, they can parse alerts, use mapping and reporting apps, and participate in evidence projects like PakSpeed — part of the same WANG ecosystem as field relief.
