Dear Friends of Hashoo Foundation,

We are proud to share the progress we have made in the pursuit of development, through the tireless efforts of our

team. The year 2009-10 has be en about building and learning from past successes, so that all our projects achieve a

level of sustainability.

The highlights of the year have been the expansion in the scale of our services in our core thematic areas. Under

economic development, we managed to reach high numbers of producers and workers, through the expansion of ourhoney bee farming, dairy development and marble shine projects. We assisted in improving livelihoods of these

communities by increasing capacity and developing better value chains.

We were successful in providing state of the art support and rehabilitation services to people with disabilities through

our flagship project Umeed-e-Noor. We also managed to create civil society linkages as well as ma ss awareness

about the rights of people with disabilities under our special needs program.

We expanded our skills development program by increasing the scale of our professional trainings and are now

affiliated with the Pakistan training bureau. Provision of quality education through HF schools was maintained

throughout Pakistan.

Our social welfare relief and rehabilitation efforts were far and wide, from helping IDPs to giving on-going support to

the victims of terrorism (Sahara Fund) as well as the earthquake affected population.

With ongoing support from our donors and guidance from our Board of Directors, we feel that together, we can

achieve great things in the years ahead. The images and progress reported in this document is a testament to this

sentiment.

We would like to leave you with a me ssage of hope and pray for peace in the world.

We look forward to continuing our long journey together in the years ahead.

God bless you all.

Message from the Patron in Chief and the Chairperson


7/22

Dear Friends,

It is quite a rare honor for one to introduce an annual report that tries to capture the essence of another productive

year for the Hashoo Foundation. However, having come on board only in the last month of the year in question, it

would be totally inappropriate for one to la y any claim to the numerous achievements of the Foundation. These are in

fact, the results of combined efforts of all of the staff who one is privileged to have inherited, the leadership of one's

predecessor Dr. Imam Yar Baig and the strategic direction and guidance provided by the Chairperson, Sarah

Hashwani and the Board.

As the new Country Director, one is extremely encouraged by and in particular the dedication and commitment of HF's

staff, the willingness and cooperation of its s takeholders and beneficiaries and the guidance and unwavering support

of the Foundation's boards.

Staying true to our vision and mission, our economic development and skills development programs are now cross

cutting features in most of our interventions. We believe in working towards a society where communities are

empowered through economic opportunities which are created if an individual is trained in practical and marketable

skills. I trust you will find the annual report to be a useful document, one which reflects our approach and highlights the

progress the Foundation has been able to make in delivering hope and locally workable solutions to marginalized and

vulnerable communities. Sometimes it is not always possible to measure real achievements through mere facts and

figures and need to be gauged through some of the images. I t is often the emotive power of the images that best

reflect communities' feeling of being empowered. I hope the photos in the annual report help convey this.

Finally, on reading the report, you will no doubt reflect on both, our strengths and areas of further improvement. May I

implore you to share, with us, your valuable comments and suggestions pertaining to our direction, focus and outcomes

at [email protected]. These form an important component of our ongoing learning process.

Ali Akbar

Honey Bee Farming

The Women Empowerment through Honey Bee Farming Project Plan Bee-

was initiated to empower women in Pakistan by expanding employment

opportunities and generating a stable source of income through the sale of

high-quality honey. The project addresses the discrepancy between the incomeearned by male and female beekeepers by educating the women in

beekeeping and linking them to profitable markets. Furthermore, the project

improves the status of women in their communities, as they become more

integrated in the decision-making process within male-dominated societies.

The project is based on a system of social barter, designed to promote social

change. HF agrees to buy the women beekeepers' honey at market price and

successfully links them to the lucrative markets of 5-star hotels in Pakistan,

provided that the families agree to send their children to quality scho ols, have

regular health check-ups and improve nutrition at home. The impact has been a

two-fold change in the lives of the women in

. The Women Empowerment through Honey Bee

Project Plan Be e- has allowed these women to increase their income, hence,bringing a positive change in their life style.

society with dignity, and so far 1,200 children have benefitted from the quality

therapy, education and general support and guidance offered by UEN.

Social Welfare

In the absence of state-sponsored social sa fety nets, vulnerable families and

individuals facing temporary hardships and/or unforeseen expenditures can be

easily thrown into an endless cycle of poverty. Initiated in 1999, the Social

Welfare Program offers medical, economic and educational assistance to

families that need limited and specific help. In the form of small grants and loans,

it covers for unforeseen hardships such as medical expenses, loss of job, or loss

of a family member, and enables families to overcome crises before they

exacerbate.

relief goods for the IDPs. Hashoo Foundation also established an emergency

healt h unit in Palosa camp, Charsadda, staffed by a medical officer, a nurse

and medical technician and equipped with quality medicines. Hashoo

Medical services to 80 patients a day;

Educational assistance to 80 children in Hashoo Foundation school,Nowshera Kalan, KPK; and

Mr. Mubashir Ali, resident of

Okara, was associated with Pearl

Tours as receptionist. Unfortunately,

he was a victim of the Islamabad

Marriott Hotel bomb blast and lost

sight in both his eyes.

He was the only bread winner for

his family, as his father is retired from

Pakistan Army and is now physically

unable to earn a livelihood.

Upon assessing his case, he was

supported by the Sahara Fund and

began receiving financial assistancealong with special skills training that

will enable to become self

sustainable in the near future.

I may not can see but I feel

reassured to have somebody

looking out for me he says.

Shukrat Bibi, 35, resident of Mominabad, Gilgit-Baltistan, is a mother of 4
