Priority issues & challenges
1. Road Infrastructure
Monsoon floods repeatedly fracture rural road networks, isolating coastal ports and severing critical agricultural trade routes to Karachi.
2. Water Crisis
Severe sea intrusion and unmanaged sewage have contaminated groundwater, leaving rural households dependent on toxic, high-salinity water.
3. Health
Facilities are completely overwhelmed, dropping the district to 22nd in Sindh's human development rankings with a 55% child stunting rate.
4. Economic and Employment
Total reliance on climate-wrecked fishing and delta farming leaves youth without stable jobs, pushing 90% of rural families into absolute poverty.
