Jacobabad, Pakistan was named the world's hottest city in May after extreme heat (124°F). Now, it's flooded after extreme monsoon rains. A teacher says many of her students are homeless and will miss months of school: "People had heatstroke, now people have lost their homes."
Satellite images show the extent of damage caused by record monsoon floods in Pakistan. ▪️ At least 1,191 people killed ▪️ Over 1 million homes destroyed ▪️ Crops destroyed in hundreds of thousands of villages ▪️ 700,000 livestock lost (Images: Maxar Technologies)
Floods in Pakistan killed at least 1,191 people, including 380 children — one woman saw her grandchild swept away as she slept. Rains are up to 28x above average. Villages are still swamped. Officials say Pakistan is a "fully soaked sponge" with nowhere for water to go.
Coming back home from a FANTASTIC two-day residential with @KnowledgeEquity. The central learnings from these days are the relevance of collaboration, the (non-tokenistic) role of lived experience, fabulous colleagues in the migration/refugee sector and the incredible views.
Great to have so many allies across the sector join us as we shared our learning from the pilot phase of #ChallengeandChange! ✨ Big thanks @KnowledgeEquity @DazeAghaji @chloedeakin_ @jovan747 for partnering with us on this journey🙏 Learning report: blagravetrust.org/wp-content/upl…
Sharing our learning today from the first round of Challenge and Change - a fund designed by young #LExLeaders, for young people.
'There are 1000s of young people out there in communities, really disrupting...they are living injustice every single day& they're still out there creating the change. They aren't invisible to their communities, they are to those with power.' - Baljeet Sandhu #ChallengeAndChange
'What's really crucial is understanding the expertise we need, moving away from lived experience as voice & as a story that we're constantly focusing on, but what's vital, is understanding lived experience as necessary in terms of knowledge.' - Baljeet Sandhu #ChallengeAndChange
'It was really lovely to have felt really cared for within this process. But then also...oh, ok, we have the power in this decision making process. I think that was the most enlightening part... knowing that all doors for possibilities are open.' - @DazeAghaji #ChallengeAndChange
'You have to really think about agency, the ways of communication, the learning styles of everyone who's part of that design journey, & ... it was really truly about, we're just here for the young change makers, and they were bossing it.' - Baljeet Sandhu #ChallengeAndChange
'I was able to speak the language that the young changemakers were applying spoke too, so it made it feel like we were more like a friend, the friend who was helping them get to their own aims.' - Daze Aghaji @blagravetrust trustee & co-designer of #ChallengeAndChange
Inspiring to hear from Baljeet Sandhu from @KnowledgeEquity highlighting the importance of flexibile funding when supporting changemakers - funders need to be able to listen deeply + design support packages in real time #ChallengeAndChange
'We're committed to running #ChallengeAndChange for the next 3 years... really exciting this year to read all of the applications and just continue to see the amazing work that people are doing.' - Rochell Rowe, Programme Lead @blagravetrust #ChallengeAndChange
'Funder accountability is not simply about giving away money, but that we're also ensuring those we're supporting & investing in, esp. young changemakers, we're not setting them up to fail' - Baljeet Sandhu Chief Equity Officer @KnowledgeEquity, #ChallengeAndChange @blagravetrust
Baljeet Sandu from @KnowledgeEquity telling us the importance of funders taking responsibility to find groups & communities that need the funding #ChallengeAndChange
'Pre-existing models of collaboration with communities are not fit for purpose. We need to create really new spaces with different & unique forms of knowledge & expertise to unite & work in unison to design new funds' - Baljeet Sandhu, @KnowledgeEquity #ChallengeAndChange
Investing in changemakers with direct personal 1st hand experience of inequitable & unjust systems is not only possible but it's absolutely necessary if we really want to work together to address the violence&harm our people & planet are facing -Baljeet Sandhu #ChallengeAndChange
