As part of its social participation program and commitment to improving the welfare of underprivileged communities in southeastern Kerman Province, Kerman Automotive Industries has donated 25 safe residential units to local kapar-dwelling families in two villages of Jazmourian, coinciding with the birth anniversaries of Imam Ja’far Sadiq and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
A Symbol of Poverty Transformed
Kapar-dwelling—characterized by fragile shelters lacking basic amenities such as water, electricity, and sanitation—is a stark symbol of poverty in southern Kerman.
Thanks to government poverty alleviation policies, and the collaborative efforts of NGOs and major industries, thousands of rural families have now been relocated to safe and dignified housing.
Kerman Automotive’s Role in Regional Development
As the designated economic coordinator for the regions of Bam, Rigan, Fahraj, and Narmashir, Kerman Automotive Industries once again extended its social responsibility efforts in response to a request from the Jazmourian governor.
In collaboration with the Development Leaders Association and the Arg Jadid Urban Development Organization, the company constructed and equipped 25 safe housing units in the villages of Pir Khoshab and Nazdasht.
Project Specifications
Each unit:
- Measures 36 square meters
- Built with durable materials and proper structural design
- Includes water, electricity, bathroom, toilet, metal doors and windows
- Sits within a 300-square-meter shared compound
The units were officially handed over during a ceremony attended by:
- The Governor of Bam
- CEOs of Arg Jadid Urban Development and the Development Leaders Association
- The late Ahmad Haeri Nejad, supervisory representative of Kerman Automotive Industries
- Local officials and residents
Allocation of units was based on the Housing, Relief, and Welfare Committee’s official report and approved by the local governor’s office.
All project costs were fully covered by Kerman Automotive Industries.
