Supporting mangrove restoration in Pakistan

On 28 June 2026, Delta Blue Carbon organised a Training and Awareness Session on Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) and Reusable Pad Making. The session reached over 95 women and girls across several communities. The training was delivered in line with WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA, UNESCO, and WASH guidance, with the session promoting reusable cloth pads as a safe, sustainable, and dignified alternative.

Each participant received a kit to keep making pads at home, supporting long-term self-reliance and affordability. The initiative reflects Delta Blue Carbon's ongoing commitment to the health and dignity of women and girls across the Indus Delta's coastal communities.

The Project has continued to improve and expand healthcare delivery in the Project Zone by providing financial and capacity support to the Rural Health Center in Keti Bandar, as well as to the mobile health unit working with local partners.

Free medical camps were held in the 3 village clusters, offering consultations in gynaecology, dermatology, and general practice, along with the distribution of essential medicines. In addition, local medical staff received training in midwifery and first aid.

Access to safe and affordable drinking water was maintained through the continued operation of the previously rehabilitated reverse osmosis plant. Hygiene and sanitation awareness sessions were also conducted to support healthier practices and help reduce risks of preventable diseases, with particular attention to women’s health and childcare.

Delta Blue Carbon has continued to improve school infrastructure and further facilitated student enrolment. The project has conducted awareness training and capacity-building sessions on the sustainable use and production of land and marine resources. Since its last monitoring, these included trainings in crab Farming, sustainable Fishing and seafood handling, climate-smart agriculture, and Sustainable livestock management.

The monitoring report was published earlier this year following the completion of the audit which ran from 1st March 2023 - 31st August 2024. During this Third Monitoring Period, the Project has contributed to climate change adaptation at the community and biodiversity levels, meeting the Gold Level criteria.

The strengthened mangrove ecosystem has helped maintain soil stability and prevent erosion, further safeguarding local communities and have helped protect infrastructure across 16 villages within the Project Zone.

The Delta Blue project runs over a 60 year time period starting on 19 Feb 2015
