Let’s Make Lucky Summer Safer: What We Found and What We Can Do Together

Lucky Summer Ward is home to thousands of hardworking people families, students, traders, and workers trying to build a better life. But many parts of the ward face dangers that can destroy lives and property in a matter of minutes. During heavy rains, homes flood. Fires start from unsafe electricity connections. Diseases spread when sewage overflows or when garbage blocks drainage. This is not because people do not care but because planning, service delivery, and support are not reaching the grassroots. This brief shares the findings of a detailed study done with residents in all five zones of Lucky Summer. It explains the dangers we face, why they happen, and what we can do, together, to make our neighbourhood safer and better prepared.
