Dear All,

This is a very interesting opportunity for people who want to work with communities on urban issues.

About Perween Rahman:

Perween Rahman was an architect, social scientist and planner who for many years directed the work of the Orangi Pilot Project (OPP) in Karachi, Pakistan. She worked with informal communities across Karachi - and Pakistan - develop simple, practical and affordable ways to access sanitation, water supply, housing improvements, education, health care and secure land tenure, in which communities themselves are the key doers and professionals are their supporters. 

It is believed that this brave woman stepped on powerful toes while documenting informal settlements and the illegal water-supply business in the city, for on March 13, 2013, at 7:00 PM, she was killed on her way home from work. 

About the Fellowship:

Early in 2014, the Community Architects Network (CAN) announced a call for applications for a new fellowship that was being set up to commemorate the work and spirit of Perween Rahman. The fellowship would provide an extremely modest grant of $2,000 to at least 15 community architects or community-based builders to work with urban poor communities and their local support organizations on specific projects, for about six months.
