SMOG, public health emergency in Pakistan
Pakistan has become the second most polluted country in the world and faces a public health emergency due to toxic smog. Some of the primary contributing factors to this situation are traffic and commercial industries. Nayum.pk aims to play a crucial role in addressing this emergency by promoting sustainable practices among local makers, artists, designers, and small farmers. It also aims to encourage eco-friendly products, promote recycling, and raise awareness about the impact of pollution on health. By supporting environmentally conscious businesses and encouraging a shift towards sustainable living, Nayum.pk will contribute to reducing air pollution and improving public health in Pakistan.
High Inflation and Unemployment
Pakistan’s current unemployment rate is 6.3% with 15.3 million people unemployed. Inflation is also high, with the national CPI averaging 24.5%. Nayum.pk aims to address high inflation and unemployment in Pakistan by providing a platform for local makers, artists, designers, crafters, creators, bakers, and small farmers to showcase and sell their products. This will help create job opportunities and boost income for individuals, thereby contributing to reducing unemployment. Also, by promoting local products and supporting small businesses, Nayum.pk will help stabilize prices, provide affordable and sustainable options to consumers, and potentially mitigate the impact of inflation.
Mental Health Crises
Poverty, inflation, and unemployment have contributed to a mental health crisis, with more than 80 million people suffering from mental illnesses in Pakistan. Nayum.pk aims to play an important role in supporting mental health and well-being by providing a platform for individuals to showcase their talents, connect with the community, earn income, and feel a sense of purpose and accomplishment. This will help people improve their self-esteem, reduce stress, and promote overall well-being, contributing positively to mental health amidst crises in Pakistan.
Women, youth, and differently-abled individuals
Women in Pakistan often face challenges due to cultural norms and gender discrimination, which can limit their access to resources, opportunities, and support for starting businesses or finding jobs. Youth also struggle with limited work experience, lack of networks, and competition in the job market. Whereas differently-abled individuals encounter physical barriers, stigma, and discrimination that hinder their employment and entrepreneurial endeavors. Nayum.pk aims to empower them by providing opportunities for green business education and entrepreneurship through its platform.
Artists Challenges
Artists are facing challenges such as finding buyers for their work, connecting with galleries, and making a living from their craft. They also feel pressure to create work that will sell well and appeal to a wide audience. Current environmental conditions such as annual floods and extreme pollution have affected the art sector and many people who make traditional artwork in rural areas have become homeless and face hard times to meet ends every day. Nayum.pk aims to help people from the art industry by providing them a platform to showcase and sell their work to a wider audience, connect with potential buyers and galleries, and generate income from their craft. This can help alleviate the pressure of creating art solely for commercial success and enable artists to focus on their creativity. Additionally, by supporting local makers and artists, nayum.pk will contribute to the economic well-being of communities, especially those affected by environmental challenges like floods and pollution.
