The Community Development Program at Shikarpur Christian Hospital shines like a beacon of light in the Northern Interior Sindh community. The program offers opportunity to meet the physical needs of many throughout the Sindh, bolstering the Christ-like testimony of the hospital. In tandem with meeting the physical needs of the community, the CDP is an arm of the hospital through which we are free and obligated to fulfill the Great Commission among all the peoples of the Sindh.

LIVING ENVIRONMENT:
The base of operations would be in Shikarpur, a rural area of Pakistan approximately 40 minutes away from a major city and airport. Limited trips are possible into the city. The major ministry in Shikarpur is a hospital, located on a 7-acre compound, mostly staffed by nationals with senior medical and nursing staff coming largely from a few ex-pat missionaries. People working here will need to adjust certain aspects of their living according to local cultural norms, including attire. Housing is available on and off the hospital compound. Single ladies will most likely live on the hospital compound. Internet service is available. The climate in the Sindh during the summer is very hot - usually hovering between high 90's to 115F. Electricity is not consistent but the hospital has a generator.
