Anticipated Results

KFF expects at least 700 households to directly benefit from the proposed project. Indirectly, it is projected that more than 700 small poor families will have a positive impact on their basic income and saving. In total, KFF hopes to make a difference in the economic lives of around 7,000 individuals in Kot Mithan & Kacha Kot Mithan.

The criterion KFF will use to select these communities is to provide assistance to those whose fuel & energy expenditure costs is higher than the returns from it.

In general, the project funded needs assessment studies will enlarge the pool of potential recipient in the future, most of whom are disadvantages and impoverished village dwellers.
