Access & Quality Education
Quality education is the key to a better life on a micro level, and a strong economy on the macro. To us, education is not merely about studying and getting good grades in school, it’s a tool used for discovering new things, opening yourself to new possibilities, increasing knowledge, and differentiating between right and wrong.
Environment & Climate Change
Pakistan is the 6th largest nation in the world, in terms of size of the population. The country has abundant natural resources and a wide variety of ecological regions; from Hindu Kush and Himalayas in the west, Indus plains in the east to coastal zones in the south – which all come with a bulk of natural capital including flourishing livestock and fishing industry, forest products and most importantly, agriculture.
Citizenship & Peace
One is not born a citizen, it is a task to become one – a task that requires informed and deliberate effort, it’s a lengthy learning process which continues to be a struggle in our country. For any society to be viable, it must depend on the abilities and knowledge of its citizens who are conscious of their roles, responsibilities and status as an individual.
Health & Livelihood
Pakistan is charactertised by a low life expectancy, high maternal and child mortality, high incidence of communicable diseases and malnutrition among women and children. Maternal mortality ratio is at about 260 per 100,000 live births according to WHO. Additionally, Pakistan is one of the only three remaining countries with polio and the incidence of tuberculosis is about 231 cases per 100,000 a year.
