Message by theExecutive Director

Dear Readers,

Pakistan’s education indicators are abysmal. With governments unable to effectively respond to the challenge, charities and philanthropists are pioneering new initiatives in education. Pakistani Philanthropy by local and national foundations, corporations and wealthy individuals is playing critical roles in education; creating new schools, undertaking research , funding need base scholarships, bolstering teacher training, generating teaching methods and building a case for policy change.

Given the scale of the education challenges the numbers of corporations as well as private foundations making contributions to promote education is expected to swell in the future.

We have in this edition of Philanthropy Matters tried to give readers a glimpse into the ongoing initiatives funded and supported by philanthropy in Pakistan. Nevertheless, large-scale charitable objectives cannot be met without government support. One critical question that remains is how can charities, philanthropists, and the government better work together in education

PCP research shows that there is a huge potential to harness the energy of private philanthropy and social investment to strategically advance the “Education Agenda” in Pakistan. The state has not developed any institutional mechanisms to facilitate formation of such partnerships. Therefore,there is need to bring cohesion to the private activity supplementing education’s much needed resources in Pakistan.

Cohesion and harmonization in government and private philanthropy remains an untapped potential which if harnessed can hugely improve education indicators in Pakistan.

About Pakistan Centre for PhilanthropyPakistan Centre for Philanthropy (PCP) is a non-profit support organization with a mandate to promote the volume and effectiveness of philanthropy in Pakistan. Established in 2001, PCP brings together in its Board of Directors’ many years of experience and commitment through a group of eminent citizens, civil society representatives and corporate leaders. The Centre does not engage in direct philanthropy; instead it strives to facilitate philanthropic efforts and initiatives through three programme areas: Research, Certification of NPOs, and philanthropy support services. Its mission thereby is to enhance the volume and effectiveness of indigenous philanthropy in order to bring additional resources to assist the government in its social development and poverty reduction agenda.

Certification of NPOsPCP has nationwide outreach to accredited CSOs spread all over the country and works in close linkages with them to build their credibility and foster an enabling environment for philanthropy to be utilized for promoting social development. Hence, strengthening civil society Governance in Pakistan through PCP's Certification Programme of NPOs is one of the most unique initiatives in the entire South Asia region. Through this programme, PCP seeks to set sector-wide standards in good governance, financial transparency and programme effectiveness, and helps to promote adoption of best practices for increased efficiency and impact of NPO's work for social and economic development of the society.

Research ProgrammePCP has generated relevant information on various dimensions of philanthropic giving in Pakistan for raising awareness and better understanding of philanthropy as a means of social investment. PCP, through its research programme, is recognized as the sole knowledge generating unit in the country that explores information on philanthropy, and advocates it as a supplementary resource to enable informed policy decision making among stakeholders including the government, the corporate sector and the civil society. PCP so far has produced a number of quality reports and publications on the trends and patterns of philanthropic giving by corporates, family foundations, individuals at household level, Pakistani diaspora and has highlighted issues and challenges of channelizing this potential resource for more productive outcomes. In disseminating its work, the Centre has pioneered the Corporate Philanthropy Awards ceremony to acknowledge philanthropic contributions by business entities in Pakistan and to increase their motivations to strengthen their CSR initiatives and contributions. The first ceremony in 2006 was so well received that it has become a regular annual feature.

Philantropy Support ServicesMotivated by an overarching concern to move Pakistan towards greater self-reliance and away from dependency on external aid, PCP has developed a ‘Philanthropy Support Services Programme’ to improve institutional mechanisms for promoting philanthropy as a source of social investment in Pakistan. The scope of activities includes raising public awareness about the concept of philanthropy, encouraging and supporting the Government to create an enabling regulatory and fiscal framework, and engaging in a multi-stakeholder dialogue to build synergies and partnerships among all stakeholders. PCP has worked with many large national and international partners and developed collaborations with the Ministry of Social Welfare, Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), Government of Pakistan, the World Bank, European Union (EU), Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Provincial Government of Sindh, International Organisation for Migration (IOM), Department for International Development (DfID), Aga Khan Rural Support Programme (AKRSP), Agha Khan Foundation (AKF) and several other corporate leaders. These partnerships clearly indicate stakeholders' endorsement of PCP's valuable efforts to create a sustainable and progressive civil society in Pakistan.

Public Private Partnerships in Education

In keeping with the sustainable development agenda, Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy’s mission is to encourage partnerships across the private sector, civil society and government. A great example of such partnerships is Punjab’s Public School Support Program – Government of the Punjab has initiated and approved Public School Support Program (PSSP) under Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) to improve quality of education in low performing public schools. This is a non-commercial, non-profit program with aim to provide free of cost quality education in existing public schools through involvement of private sector. Under the Public School Support Programme management of various Public Sector Schools has been transferred to NGOs private educational chains and individuals. A number of NGOs have been engaged to take control of the low performing public sector school and manage them with an understanding that such a dynamic will mobilize and share knowledge, expertise, and financial resources.

PhilanthropyStoriesFazilia Trust Helped Asma to Realize Her DreamAsma Naseem is a girl from a remote village in AJK. She had a dream to study in a medical college since childhood. She belongs to a very poor and downtrodden family. Her father is a contract carpenter, who works really hard to make the ends meet. Although her parents were open-minded and supportive but financial and social constraints were becoming a hurdle in her dream. Asma did not let her financial condition stop her from achieving her aim. Asma Naseem topped in all the examinations and secured 96% in the intermediate exams and 92% in admission test in a medical college and secured a seat on merit in a medical college. Fazilia Trust Pakistan supported Asma financially and socially throughout her struggle.

Saba’s Journey From Student to a TeacherI never wanted a future like the many around me. I wanted an education, I wanted a better lifestyle, and I wanted to make it happen for myself. I started my education at primary level in an HDF school, where it was the only organization working in our village for the development in 2003 when HDF began with its Education Program. With my father being a laborer and having a family of 11, it was not an easy journey for me, and I knew I would not be able to afford my education any further. But what can such obstacles even mean when you have a determination so strong that you want to work hard for yourself. I studied till my matriculation from HDF School and then commenced my F.A from Allama Iqbal Open University.

I started working as a teacher in HDF, and with the earning I supported my own education. From a village so small, how greater a courage one can imagine, I never knew that I could for myself. However, I set out to be that exception in my community.

Sadia Narrates Her Story of Setting Up a School Sadia Baji’s jounrey, like many other low cost private school owners, has been one marked with a plethora of challenges and trails along with a multitude of triumphs and successes. Sadia Baji would spend days deciding on what to teach her class and then go back to school the next day to introduce her students to a new ideology, a new fact, a new world. Everyday I went back home it made me wonder that what use would these worlds be for them if, at the end of the day, they were expected to just forget about them, lose themselves, instead, in worlds revolving around money, bills and food.” Soon enough, Sadia Baji knew that in order to bring about the changes that she wanted, she could no longer rely upon the existing networks in her community. Sadia Baji voiced her concerns in front of her parents and told them about her vision of an educated future generation. With her parents’ complete and utter support, Sadia Baji began to shape her dream into a reality. She contacted her friends and convinced them for her cause, asking them for their help in teaching at the school. Together, they went door to door, advertising the new school and, by the beginning of 2014, Sufa Public School was officially inaugurated, with a total of 150 enrollments by the end of the first year. Kashf Foundation had been promoting their new project, the Kashf School Sarmaya in Sadia Baji’s area at the time, and soon enough, the team found about her school and offered help to construct another floor for her school, increasing the school’s accommodation capacity. She has even managed to purchase new furniture for both the faculty and the students, as well as two new computers for the school’s use. The school has seen an approximate 54% increase in enrollment since 2014 but the proudest thing for Sadia Baji is that out of total children in her school at the moment, more than 2/3rds are girls. “We’re finally where we wanted to be three years ago and we’re making our dreams turn into reality.

RAHMA Puts Lubna Wali on the Road to Prosperity A 10-year-old little girl lives in a small jhuggi with her parents, 3 brothers and 2 sisters. She was one of those children who used to beg with her mother and aunt for the entire day outside mosques and shrines. She was being raised among slum residents who were already socially excluded and were famous for begging, prostitution and street crimes. She might have been raised as the same person, but she was lucky to have been inducted at RAHMA slum school. RAHMA staff raised awareness among her parents for child education which was the catalyst in her upbringing in school environment. She is now studying in class 5. Though she left begging but yet due to extreme poverty, occasionally stands outside the mosques to sell out hair bands.

English Medium Community School in Gilgit Baltistan The story of this school began in 1995 when a group of socially aware young villagers, who viewed education as a lifeline to better the prospects of the new generation, decided to establish a co-education, English medium public school on self-help basis to promote the dissemination of quality education within the village. However, the school needed to be housed in a proper building, and this led the villagers to approach the Marafie Foundation for assistance. In 1996, the Marafie Foundation made a donation towards the construction costs of a custom built school building, and its donation was matched by the contribution of free land by the villagers themselves. This was the first English Medium Community based public school in the valley and the first of its students are now enrolled in FA/FSC at various colleges of Pakistan and some in studying for a professional degree. The female students set a new trend in this conservative society by joining Boys Inter College Kharmang. In 2001, the School Management Committee decided to affiliate the school with Aga Khan Education services Pakistan (AKESP) for teacher training and technical support, an initiative that enhanced the quality of education rapidly.

Retain a Child in School : A Campaign by Aiming Change Tomorrow (ACT) “Retain a child in school” is kind of a small campaign with big impact which will not only engage the literate segments of society but will also be led by them. In fact it is not necessarily to be confined to ‘literate’ only and every conscious individual can be a part of it for the benefit of our children without any discrimination. If we want to contribute to build an informed society, we need to ensure access to education for all, especially the marginalized segments of society. Therefore, the first and the most important step in this direction is to raise the level of education at local level by generating maximum funds to secure the vulnerable children’s future and ensure their attendance compliance in local government schools. We have nurtured this idea and helped more than 500 students to ensure their primary education in AJK, we now are thinking to expand it further to reach out to 1,500 students for primary and 1,000 students for Matric.

Poverty Eradication Initiative (PEI) - Promotes Hygiene Among School Children PEI launched a Hygiene promotion program with the aim to promote personal hygiene among children living in the rural areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The campaign is premised on the fact that hygiene practices are largely

acquired during childhood – and that it is much easier to change children’s habits than those of adults. Another important aspect of this program was improvement in enrollment and retention. Good health conditions enable children to attend the school regularly and that leads to more child friendly environment at schools and in communities. Distribution of more than million shoes, hundreds of related trainings and communication change behavior practices ensured the success of project, improved the health hygiene condition for children in their schools and increased retention and enrollment.

Autism Resource Centre (ARC) RawalpindiAutism Resource Centre (ARC) Rawalpindi is a dedicated facility for children with autism that is working since 2010 under the umbrella of ASP. Since its inception in August 2010 ARC, Rawalpindi has evolved into three separate branches. The youngest children are admitted to Ali Rafey Early Intervention Centre (AREIC). The children who respond exceptionally well at AREIC make it to a mainstream school while those who respond less well are sent to Amin Remedial School (ARS). The children who join at a later age do not respond well to the therapies and are sent to Nadeem Rehab Centre (NRC). Nearly 75% of the children admitted at the three branches of ARC Rawalpindi get fee subsidy of 25%-100%

NAMAL University – A project of NEF Namal Education Foundation (NEF) is a nonprofit organization devoted to ensure that potential students from all over Pakistan have access to quality education at the university regardless of their financial background.

Currently 90% of the students at Namal University are covered under scholarship. More than 80% of the student body comes from rural areas and a great majority cannot afford higher education. Namal’s success is translated into achievements of these students. Currently the employment rate of alumni is more than 90%.

OSDI - Creating Future LeadersOrganization for Social Development Initiatives (OSDI) was formed as a CSR initiative of Marine Group of Companies in 2009. Since its inception, OSDI has been working in the under privileged rural communities of Pakistan to create sustainability and improve lives. OSDI firmly believes that education is the most powerful tool to create a positive impact; in order to bring an overall social change. Under the umbrella of OSDI’s education project, ghost schools are adopted in collaboration with the local government. In targeted areas where there is no school within the radius of 2 – 3 kms; OSDI build’s a Temporary Learning Center (TLC) to facilitate the students. A qualified and trained teacher is also appointed to mobilize the community to send their children to school. Additional support is provided to the TLC by facilitating the students with course books, stationery, water, and other necessary facilities. Upon gaging the TLC’s performance over a year; OSDI’s monitoring & evaluation team shares its recommendation for construction of a proper school building. So, far OSDI has successfully converted 2 TLC’s into properly build schools i.e. OSDI Primary Model School Malhee (Shikarpur) and OSDI Model School Nawab Khan Burirro (Jacobabad). Both these schools have now been handed over to Sindh Education Foundation (SEF) upon exit from the respective communities. To keep these schools running smoothly they are further given to Strengthening Participatory Organization (SPO) by SEF. Currently, SPO manages the overall functioning of these schools. Altogether, there are 166 students in OSDI Primary Model School Malhee (Shikarpur) and 136 students enrolled in OSDI Model School Nawab Khan Burirro (Jacobabad).Till date, OSDI has penetrated and worked in 07 government schools, built 02 proper schools and initiated 03 TLCs in its targeted communities in which 1269 students are successfully acquiring quality primary education.

PCP’s ePhilanthropy Portal, A Way ForwardPCP in collaboration with Agha Khan Foundation (AKF) USA has taken the initiative to create an e-giving platform to strengthen the ability of NPOs to raise funds and also engage with stakeholders. The aim is to create a nationally-shared asset for civil society where PCP-certified organizations can share their stories and seek funds for their initiatives on an online portal provided by PCP. For NPOs, the portal would unlock untapped revenue sources (local and diaspora). The design and planning phase of this portal is already under process.

Please share the story/philosophy of Children’s Global Network. Children’s Global Network was initiated in 2002, to provide the best foundation of education to the most marginalized. I had been working with various International organizations and realized that we make decisions in conference rooms and inflict them on poor communities and children, and the parents consideration and voices are missing from service delivery and especially for children’s education. I had a compulsion to do things right in education and based on the principles of equity. So, I left my job and started the organization initially in my Father’s annex, with a rustic laptop, no AC and just one other colleague. Today, Children’s Global Network has a presence at the national level and with a separate institution for early years interventions namely “Parwaan”. The Ministry of Federal Education & Professional Training joined hands with CGN-P to launch Parwaan, which is not only a National Centre for Excellence on early years learning but an interlocutor between child health and nutrition as well. The philosophy in a nut shell is, “equity in education provision through innovative solutions having an excellent potential for scale up.”

What are the major programmes of your organization?I would like to talk about two of our major programs. Parwaan has pioneered a model of social entrepreneurship where we train graduate youth at district levels and mostly women to open up their own Parwaan school readiness centres. This innovation is known as “Parwaan Preschool – A School Readiness Program” . “Parwaan Montessori Program” is another ongoing intervention which we are carrying out in partnership with Prime Minister’s Education Reform Program (PMERP).

What are the challenges of education sector in Pakistan according to your findings?At the primary and secondary levels, both access and student achievements are low- by international standards as well as the standards of meeting Pakistan’s

broad development challenges. The main issue in public sector is governance and management and lack of insight and political will to fix it. Stubborn inequalities in access, quality and educational outcomes persist across gender, across income, between urban and rural schools and among the countries four provinces. The long neglect has made these problems graver. In a world in which many countries are moving ahead quickly in terms of their economic and social development, Pakistan risks falling even further behind if it cannot educate its young people effectively.

What is the future of education sector in Pakistan?Currently, we do not have a uniform education system. There are many players in the field of education. Alongside public sector we have the elite private schools and then the low cost private schools as well. A stocktaking is required and the role of public sector needs to be defined in taking along all the players as through our education system we construct not only our national identity but equip children to become responsible and productive citizens. Despite all the challenges there are several forces both within the educational system and broader polity in Pakistan that have come together to create a window of opportunity for developing a synergy in education sector: First force is rising expectation of the Pakistani public; second force is rapidly evolving political system in which major actors are adjusting to new expectations; and the third force is the rise of a highly active Pakistani media that is an ally for reforms.

Are there any recommendations that your organization would like to make with respect to education sector?Our first recommendation is to treat all Pakistani children as equal. It is the disparities that have led to elite versus poor education systems. To start off with, each child has to be seen as a holistic human being and should be provided with the best possible care and education from pre-primary onwards. We believe that four areas are key to the development of an effective reforms program for educational system as a whole and are systemic in the sense that none can be avoided. 1) governance from the province to district and sub-district and relationship to school, 2) fiscal resources and public accountability, 3) human resource development and 4) curriculum reform. I would like to mention here that despite many educational reforms in Punjab, hundreds of Public schools are being handed over to private parties and there are no children in public schools as the private school next door has all the children. Why? Due to relatively better quality education, effective management and delivery and fulfilling parents’ expectations, and lastly giving children marketable skills Particularly from Children’s Global Network’s and Parwaan’s perspective, I want to endorse that we absolutely need a “Coordinating Commission on Early Years” as these are the most formative years where the government is not paying attention to. We are rapidly losing ground to laying strong foundations for our children and particularly the most marginalized. Lastly, I would like to advise the youth of Pakistan to take entrepreneurial initiative in pre-primary education sector and positively contribute to the society.

Please share the story/philosophy of Sharmeen Khan organization.Sharmeen Khan Memorial Foundation (SKMF) is a Karachi based not-for-profit organization registered under Section42 of the Companies Ordinance 1984. The Late Sharmeen Khan was a woman of honor and integrity, and was personally committed to building a better world. Her untimely demise in December 2013 strengthened my resolve to set up the Sharmeen Khan Memorial Foundation (SKMF) and ensure that her relentless philanthropic pursuits of giving back to the less fortunate are carried forward.

My wife was particularly passionate about education so I felt the need to work in this sector. I adopted seven government schools in Karachi under the ‘Adopt a School program’. We worked on improving the infrastructure to make the environment more conducive for students. Since July 2014 we have increased the enrolment from 750 to 1200 students from Kindergarten to Matric. We have introduced computer labs, science labs and libraries for the students. There is improvement in academic results and increased student participation which is a major achievement for us.

What are the major programmes of your organization?SKMF focuses primarily on education, clean water distribution and mother & child healthcare. We also provide vocational training for our students to equip them with the necessary skills.

What are the challenges of education sector in Pakistan according to your findings?Negligence and lack of proper planning have been the major challenges over the last three years. Students in private schools are taught in English, whereas public school students are taught in Urdu. Therefore, government school students are not well equipped to excel in higher institutions such as IBA, LUMS, etc., where the medium of teaching is English. Our students belong to very poor families

and fall far behind when they seek for post graduate jobs in a competitive job market. Another major drawback is the lack of well trained and qualified teachers. We had to induct 32 well trained and specialized teachers to bridge the student teacher ratio gap in our schools. We have also faced many hurdles from the government. School premises are converted to examination Centre and hence regular school is closed for weeks, which is an extremely disruptive practice. Resistance from government teachers and officials make progress slow but our determination and team effort has only made us more persistent and hence, made considerable progress in administration and academics.

What is the future of education sector in Pakistan?Education plays a vital role in human capital development. It raises the productivity of individuals and hence, produces skilled manpower that is capable of leading the economy towards the path of sustainable economic development. We need to invest more in the education sector if we want to achieve any growth and combat terrorism as the latter has a strong correlation to illiteracy and unemployment.

Are there any recommendations that your organization would like to make with respect to education sector?I firmly believe that our children need to have access to quality education, for them to adapt and achieve success in any sector in this rapidly changing world. I would like to recommend that the Government should play a more active role in the education sector and ensure that budgets allocated are used fairly and appropriately.

Sharmeen Khan Memorial Foundation

Sharmeen Khan Memorial Foundation’s (SKMF) main aim is to provide quality primary and secondary education to underprivileged children in both rural and urban areas. To fulfill this purpose, we have adopted 7 Primary and Secondary schools for boys and girls and completely refurbished four buildings to establish a more conducive learning environment. We have an enrolment of 1200 students yearly. In order to support student academic development and enhance student learning, we frequently carry out teacher training sessions and we have inducted 30 new teachers to bridge the student teacher ratio gap. SKMF introduced and implements an appropriate curriculum which includes the Oxford University books at the primary level from Kindergarten to Grade 6 in their schools, along with the establishment of 2 libraries. We have successfully set up 2 computer labs with 60 computers and a state of the art Science Lab. The SKMF provides students with complete school uniform kits as well. A digital learning program has also been implemented for students to learn Maths, Science and English via specially designed applications.

Launch and Dissemination of the Study on: The State of Individual Philanthropy in PakistanPCP launched and disseminated its study on ”The State of Individual Philanthropy in Pakistan”. Given the wide relevance of the study, stakeholders in different sectors of development were invited. The event was held on 7th February, 2017 at Jinnah Auditorium, National University of Science & Technology, Islamabad. The President of Pakistan, Mr. Mamnoon Hussain was the chief guest at the occasion.The report explored the trend, behavior and pattern of giving in Pakistan as Pakistan is among the highest ranked countries of World Giving with the philanthropic impulse being motivated by religious compulsions of Zakat, Sadqas, Fitranas, etc. that needs to be channelized for organized social development, including monetary, in-kind, and volunteering time as different forms of giving.

Given the evidence that philanthropy generates an immense pool of resources, PCP undertook this national level study to obtain updated information on the volume, trends and patterns of individual indigenous philanthropy in Pakistan. Based on nationally representative quantitative survey data of 10,000 households in four provinces of Pakistan-Punjab, Sindh, KPK and Balochistan- and qualitative information gathered by PCP from relevant stakeholders in utilization of philanthropic giving, its analysis brings to light important findings on giving behavior of individuals in the form of cash, in-kind and time-volunteered to either individuals or organizations and the motivations behind their giving preferences. The study reports that a total of PKR 240 billion was given by individuals in 2014.

The study of philanthropy is relevant to understand people’s tendency and choices to serve or benefit others and reckon its potential as a means to tackle our social problems for society’s survival and well being. Recognizing the fact that nearly 39 percent of Pakistanis live in multidimensional poverty and this proportion is nearly six times higher in rural than urban areas, philanthropy offers enormous opportunities to supplement state-run social programmes to reach out to the poor and the underserved to address local needs and poverty issues. The Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy undertook this landmark study to assess the volume of individual giving and bring forth new insights about the patterns and motivations of giving at national level so that philanthropy and generosity can grow.

Several things stand out about philanthropy in Pakistan in comparison to other nations. First, Pakistan has a long tradition of religious giving through Zakat and other forms of giving. Second, nearly 98 percent of Pakistanis either give through cash, in-kind, or time volunteered. The annual amount of individual giving is estimated at Rs. 240 billion in 2013-14. This staggering amount, which by many accounts underestimates the total, raises questions about household choices or motivations about giving. Why do individuals give? Who are the primary recipients? How does

giving differ across provinces? Apart from Zakat, how has giving broadened to bring about improvements in health, education, and the standard of living? How does individual household giving compare with budgets of state-run programs? This report addresses these questions to assess the magnitude of individual philanthropy in Pakistan and explore people’s preferences and choices about giving to better inform organizational and policy decisions. The study primarily focuses on patterns of individual giving, while other means of private philanthropy including corporate sector and institutions are not a part of analysis that support local nonprofits and people in the community.

A representative sample of about 10,000 households was selected in four provinces in Pakistan, namely Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Balochistan and Sindh for the study. The data on individual giving was gathered in 2013 in Sindh and 2014 in other three provinces, using quantitative and qualitative methods. In addition to an extensive household survey, focus group discussions were conducted with people in the community and in-depth interviews with high-level officials in relevant government departments to capture their views about philanthropic giving behavior. The data is reliable and represents a good cross-section of views in Pakistan.

Policy ImplicationsThe role of philanthropy in meeting basic needs and providing services

The study makes clearly evident the enormous potential for individual giving and social investing in Pakistan. Philanthropy can alleviate immediate and long-term suffering and at a scale that may well be much larger than that of state-run social programs. Therefore, it is

essential for organizations such as the Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy and other nonprofit bodies to enhance knowledge about giving choices as well as improve the effectiveness of philanthropic giving as an institutionalized form of social safety net. However, any policy that seeks to bring a shift in giving patterns towards organizations at the cost of individuals must proceed with caution. Despite the well-known advantages of organizational giving such as
