Education for All
We firmly believe that education serves as the cornerstone of development. Our comprehensive educational programmes extend across Azad Jammu Kashmir, Gilgit Baltistan, and Pakistan, offering academic learning and invaluable mentoring support, scholarships, work experience, internships, and skill-building opportunities. By equipping children and young people with these tools for success, we pave the way for brighter futures and empowered communities.
Health And Well Being
Access to quality healthcare and overall wellbeing are fundamental rights for all. Our healthcare and wellbeing initiatives are dedicated to improving access to essential health and social care services across Azad Jammu Kashmir, Gilgit Baltistan, and Pakistan. Through advocacy efforts, we strive to ensure that children, young people, women, and older adults have equitable access to these vital services. Additionally, we focus on raising awareness about preventive healthcare practices and empowering communities to lead healthier lives.
Cultural Preservation
Our cultural heritage is a precious asset that binds us together as a community. In Azad Jammu Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan, our efforts are dedicated to preserving and promoting traditional arts, crafts, and cultural practices. By safeguarding these traditions, we not only celebrate our rich heritage but also ensure that it is passed on to future generations, fostering a sense of identity and pride among our people.
