Moses Welfare Foundation is a government-registered organization under the Societies Act 1860 in Pakistan, dedicated to empowering communities and transforming lives through comprehensive support programs. Our mission is to uplift underprivileged individuals and families by addressing critical needs in medical aid, food security, education, skills training, labor rights advocacy, and sports. We believe in fostering a society where every individual has equal opportunities to thrive, regardless of their financial or social background. Through our various initiatives, we aim to create a sustainable impact that leads to long-term community development and improved quality of life. Medical Aid and Healthcare Support Access to healthcare is a fundamental right, yet millions of people in Pakistan struggle to afford medical treatments and essential medicines. Moses Welfare Foundation is committed to bridging this gap by providing free and subsidized healthcare services to those in need. We work with hospitals, doctors, and healthcare professionals to offer medical check-ups, diagnostic tests, and life-saving treatments for the underprivileged. Our medical aid program also extends to providing financial assistance for surgeries, maternity care, and emergency medical situations. Through health camps and awareness programs, we educate communities about preventive healthcare, hygiene, and nutrition, ensuring a healthier future for all. Food Banks and Hunger Relief Food insecurity remains a major challenge for many families, particularly in rural and low-income urban areas. Moses Welfare Foundation operates food banks that distribute essential groceries and cooked meals to individuals and families facing hunger. Our food distribution initiatives prioritize daily wage laborers, widows, orphans, and elderly individuals who lack consistent access to nutritious food. During religious and national holidays, as well as in times of crisis, we expand our food relief programs to reach a larger number of beneficiaries. Our goal is not just to provide immediate relief but to work towards long-term solutions to eradicate hunger through sustainable food security programs. Education for All Education is a powerful tool that can break the cycle of poverty and open doors to countless opportunities. At Moses Welfare Foundation, we are dedicated to making quality education accessible to children from disadvantaged backgrounds. We provide scholarships, school supplies, and financial aid to students who struggle to afford tuition fees, books, and uniforms. Our programs also include after-school tutoring, career counseling, and mentorship initiatives to help students excel academically and develop the skills they need to succeed in life. We believe that an educated society is a progressive society, and we are committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn and grow. Skills Development and Vocational Training Economic empowerment is a key aspect of our mission. We recognize that many individuals, especially youth and women, lack access to skill-building opportunities that can lead to stable employment or entrepreneurial ventures. Moses Welfare Foundation offers vocational training programs in various fields such as information technology, handicrafts, tailoring, and technical trades. By equipping individuals with practical skills, we enable them to secure jobs, start their own businesses, and achieve financial independence. Our training centers also provide career guidance, resume-building workshops, and job placement assistance to ensure that participants transition successfully into the workforce. Labor Rights Advocacy and Social Justice Many laborers in Pakistan face exploitation, unfair wages, and unsafe working conditions. Moses Welfare Foundation is a strong advocate for labor rights, working towards better policies and protections for workers in different industries. We provide legal assistance, awareness programs, and advocacy campaigns to help laborers understand their rights and fight for fair treatment. Our efforts also include collaborating with governmental and non-governmental organizations to push for labor reforms and social justice initiatives that benefit marginalized workers. We firmly believe that every worker deserves dignity, respect, and fair compensation for their labor. Youth Empowerment through Sports Sports play a crucial role in the physical, mental, and social development of young individuals. Our foundation actively promotes sports and recreational activities as a means of empowering youth and fostering community engagement. We organize tournaments, training sessions, and mentorship programs for aspiring athletes, ensuring they have access to the necessary resources and support. By encouraging sports participation, we aim to instill values of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance among young individuals, helping them stay away from negative influences and lead healthier lifestyles. Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Natural disasters, pandemics, and other crises can leave communities vulnerable and in urgent need of support. Moses Welfare Foundation responds to emergencies by providing immediate relief in the form of food, shelter, medical aid, and financial assistance. Whether it's a flood, earthquake, or any other catastrophe, we mobilize our resources to ensure affected communities receive timely assistance. Our disaster relief efforts also include rebuilding homes, restoring livelihoods, and providing psychological support to help individuals recover from trauma and loss. Women and Child Welfare Programs Women and children are often the most vulnerable segments of society, facing issues such as domestic violence, lack of education, and economic dependency. Our foundation runs several programs aimed at empowering women through skills training, financial assistance, and legal aid. We also focus on child welfare by supporting orphanages, providing nutrition programs, and advocating for children's rights. By investing in women and children, we believe we are investing in the future of our nation. Community Development and Social Welfare A strong community is built on mutual support, collaboration, and shared progress. Moses Welfare Foundation undertakes various community development projects, including infrastructure improvements, clean water initiatives, and sanitation programs. We work closely with local leaders and organizations to address pressing social issues and create sustainable solutions that improve the quality of life for community members. Through volunteerism and active civic engagement, we encourage individuals to take part in social welfare activities and contribute towards building a more compassionate and united society. Sustainability and Future Goals At Moses Welfare Foundation, we believe in creating long-lasting impacts rather than short-term fixes. Our initiatives are designed to be sustainable, empowering individuals and communities to become self-sufficient over time.

Title: Free School Education for the Poorest Children in Village Areas: A Mission of Hope and Change Introduction In many villages across Pakistan, countless children wake up every morning to face a life burdened by poverty, hunger, and hopelessness. These children, despite having dreams and potential, are often denied the basic right to education. Education, which should be the foundation of their future, becomes an unreachable goal due to financial constraints, lack of resources, and the absence of support systems. Recognizing this critical need, we have launched a revolutionary initiative: a Free School System for the Poorest Children in Village Areas. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to provide completely free education-from basic needs to academic growth-for children who otherwise would never get the chance to step inside a classroom. This includes not just books and uniforms, but also food, emotional support, and life skills. We believe that no child should be left behind because of poverty. Chapter 1: The Harsh Reality in Rural Pakistan In rural areas of Pakistan, families often survive on daily wages, if at all. Children are either forced to work in fields, beg on streets, or stay at home caring for siblings while their parents work. For many of these families, education is considered a luxury they cannot afford. Schools may be too far, lack basic infrastructure, or demand fees and supplies the parents simply can't manage. In some villages, there are no schools at all. In others, the schools that exist may be under-resourced, with untrained teachers and crumbling buildings. Many students drop out due to financial pressure or because the family doesn't see immediate benefits from education. The result? A continuous cycle of poverty that passes from generation to generation. Chapter 2: The Vision of Free Education Our vision is to break this cycle by offering 100% free schooling to the most disadvantaged children. We don't just open classrooms; we open doors to a new life. Our schools are places where children can learn, grow, and discover their purpose. Every student enrolled receives: Free Admission: No child is turned away due to inability to pay. Free Books and Stationery: Ensuring every child has the tools they need to succeed. Free School Bags and Uniforms: Creating a sense of equality and dignity. Free Daily Meals: Providing nutrition so that hunger never stands in the way of learning. Free Primary and Secondary Education: Building a strong academic foundation. But our work doesn't end there. We plan to accompany our students through every stage of growth. Chapter 3: Moving Beyond School - Vocational Training Once students complete their secondary education, they are enrolled in vocational training programs tailored to their interests and the needs of the job market. Our goal is to prepare them for real-world opportunities that can support their families and uplift their communities. Training programs include: Tailoring and Stitching Computer and IT Skills Spoken English Beauty and Wellness Training for Girls Social Media and Digital Marketing Entrepreneurship and Career Counseling We provide these trainings free of cost, often with stipends and materials included, so our students can focus on learning. Many graduates go on to find jobs, start small businesses, or even return to help teach the next generation. Chapter 4: The Dream of a College Our long-term goal is to establish a Free College where deserving students can pursue higher education without worrying about finances. By doing this, we aim to create future doctors, teachers, engineers, social workers, and leaders who will bring change not just in their families, but in society at large. We envision our students becoming the voice of progress in their villages. Running a completely free school system is not easy. Our challenges include: Financial Struggles: We rely entirely on donations. Without consistent support, expansion becomes difficult. Lack of Infrastructure: Many of our schools are in rented or semi-constructed buildings. Shortage of Teachers and Staff: Volunteers help, but we need trained, full-time educators. Transportation Issues: Many children walk long distances to school. Despite these obstacles, our passion never fades. Every challenge only deepens our faith and strengthens our resolve. We dream of a Pakistan where no child is deprived of education. Where schools are full, not empty. Where every village has a safe space for learning. Our vision includes: Building Schools Across Pakistan Creating Online Learning Platforms for Remote Areas Establishing Mobile Schools for Nomadic Communities Training Teachers from Within Villages Launching Free Colleges and Universities We are committed to this mission until every child has a future full of hope.

As a part of standard operating procedures RSPN has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Economic Affairs Division for the implementation of foreign funded projects which is valid till April 2024. RSPN serves as a critical national-level strategic platform for the RSPs and provides capacity-building support to RSPs besides taking a lead in advocating policy advocacy and developing donor linkages. It is geographically well positioned to work with the government and donors at the national level while maintaining an edge through its vast countrywide outreach to rural communities through its partner RSPs. RSPN also serves as a one window operation for large scale donor funded projects. Management Structure The Board of Directors is responsible for setting strategic direction, reviews and approves RSPN's Business Plans and develops guiding policies for RSPN. The Board is a mix of representatives from public and private sector institutions, academia, industry and philanthropists. The Board comprises 23 Directors and 2 Advisors and includes the CEOs and Chairpersons of all member RSPs. Operationally, RSPN has a core office in Islamabad with project support/ management units. In addition, RSPN has field and project offices in selected locations. In partnership with member RSPs, RSPN implement programmes and projects in all provinces across Pakistan.

Community Outreach RSPN, through the Rural Support Programmes (RSPs), is operating in 152 districts working with over 8.68 million poor households (56 million people) that have been organised through a three-tiered social mobilisation approach (figure on right). At the first level (the neighbourhood), rural households are organised into Community Organisations (COs) consisting of members from 10-15 households. Most often, women and men have their own CBOs. CBOs commit to have monthly meetings, start a savings programme and choose trustworthy leaders who are then trained by the RSP. At the second tier, the COs are federated at the village level into Village Organisations (VOs), through their leaders. And, at the third tier, VOs federate at the union council level (lowest tier of government administrative structure) to form a Local Support Organisation (LSO) with representatives from all levels. To date, RSPN has organised almost 8.7 million rural households (58.5 million people) in the form of 535,211 COs, of which 53% are women's COs, 44,762 VOs, of which 76% are women VOs and a total of 2,471 LSOs, of which 45% are women LSOs. The social capital RSPN has developed is in partnership with its member RSPs and is a unique and incomparable resource. The membership of these community institutions is diverse i.e. inclusive of religious minorities, people with special needs, youth, poor and vulnerable populations. By engaging these community institutions, RSPN/RSPs have implemented many initiatives/programmes that have been 'contextualised' and tailored to local conditions, in areas of livelihood improvement, women's economic empowerment, micro enterprise development, family planning, Maternal Neonatal and Child Health (MNCH), Disaster Risk Reduction, agriculture and climate resilience, renewable energy, etc. An existing network of community institutions means that project start-up is quick, and implementation is effective due to RSPN's long-standing relationship with community institutions across the country.
