Aims & Objectives

The following eight aims are set out in the constitution of Peace and Humanity Welfare Organization and were adopted by our founding members in 2026. They define the whole of our permitted work: PHWO may not undertake activity outside them. Each aim below is quoted from the constitution, followed by what it means in practice for our programmes across Pakistan.

Registration under the Voluntary Social Welfare Agencies (Registration and Control) Ordinance, 1961 is in process.

Each one is quoted from the constitution below, with what it means for our planned work across Pakistan. PHWO may not undertake activity outside these eight aims.

1. Education and Literacy

Promote education and literacy by supporting deserving students, educational institutions and learning opportunities, particularly for underprivileged communities.

Our first priority under this aim is to keep children in school who are at risk of leaving it for financial reasons, through the education and literacy programme we are planning, with support for fees, books, uniforms and examination costs. Alongside direct student support, we will work with existing schools and learning centres rather than duplicating them, strengthening what already functions. Adult and female literacy sessions will follow, because a literate mother is the single most reliable predictor of a literate household.

2. Healthcare

Improve healthcare services by organizing free medical camps, health awareness programmes and preventive healthcare activities.

We will organise free medical camps in neighbourhoods and villages where reaching a qualified doctor means cost, travel and lost wages. Camps will be staffed by qualified professionals, will keep proper patient records, and will refer serious cases onward rather than pretending to treat them. Preventive work runs in parallel: hygiene, safe drinking water, maternal and child health, nutrition and awareness of the conditions that are most common and most avoidable in our district.

3. Women and Youth Empowerment

Empower women and youth through vocational training, technical education, entrepreneurship development and skills enhancement programmes for sustainable livelihoods.

Training only counts if it ends in income. Our women and youth empowerment work will be built backwards from what actually sells in local and online markets, and will be delivered in formats and locations that women can realistically attend, including women-only sessions taught by women. Beyond the skill itself we will cover pricing, customer handling, basic record keeping and how to open and use an account, so that a trained person can trade rather than simply hold a certificate.

4. Community Development

Promote community development through welfare projects, poverty alleviation, environmental protection, cleanliness campaigns and tree plantation.

Under this aim we will run community and poverty alleviation projects that the community itself identifies, not ones we assume it needs. That includes support for families in acute hardship, neighbourhood cleanliness campaigns, and tree plantation drives with schools and local committees so that saplings are watered after the photographs are taken. Survival rate, not planting count, is how we will judge a plantation.

5. Humanitarian Assistance

Provide humanitarian assistance during emergencies, natural disasters and other situations of need through relief, food distribution and other welfare services.

Sindh’s recent history makes preparedness a duty rather than an option. We will maintain a trained volunteer roster, a verified supplier list and an emergency fund so that our emergency relief capability can respond within days rather than weeks. National preparedness and response guidance is published by the National Disaster Management Authority. Relief will be distributed against lists prepared with local elders and verified by our own volunteers, with records kept of what was given, to whom and when.

6. Sustainable Development and Renewable Energy

Encourage sustainable development by promoting renewable energy, environmental awareness and community-based development initiatives.

Load shedding, fuel costs and heat are daily realities in our district, and small renewable installations solve real problems: light to study by, a fan in a summer classroom, a solar pump for clean water. Our environment and energy work will begin with awareness and demonstration at community level, and we will pursue partnerships to fund installations where they deliver measurable benefit. Environmental awareness in schools runs alongside, because habits formed at twelve outlast any single project.

7. Collaboration

Collaborate with Government Departments, national and international organizations, donors and other lawful institutions.

PHWO is designed to work with the system, not around it. We will coordinate with the Social Welfare, Education, Health and Local Government departments of the Government of Sindh so that our work supplements public services and avoids duplication. We equally welcome national and international organizations, CSR teams and individual donors who want a locally rooted implementing partner that keeps proper accounts.

8. Other Lawful Welfare Activities

Undertake all other lawful social welfare activities consistent with the Constitution and the 1961 Ordinance.

This aim allows PHWO to respond to needs that our founding members could not foresee, while binding every such response to the same limits: it must be lawful, it must be social welfare, and it must be consistent with our constitution and with the Voluntary Social Welfare Agencies (Registration and Control) Ordinance, 1961. Any new activity is approved through our governing structure and recorded in our minutes and accounts like any other.

How These Aims Become Programmes

Each aim maps to a planned programme with a stated launch phase, a defined beneficiary group, a delivery method and indicators we can measure. Programmes will be launched in stages so that quality is established before scale. You can read the plan for each on our programme pages, and the operational method behind all of them in our Plan of Operation.
