Building Infrastructure for marginalized Communities

Large parts of the areas where SRSP works have little access to public services because of the long geographical distances, thin spread of population and difficulties of setting up systems to address needs by public service delivery providers in such areas.

Making education accessible

The literacy rate of KP is lower than the national averages and that of FATA is even less than that of KP.

Its main objective is to ensure quality education for all- girls and boys’.

Financing the poor entrepreneur

The provision of rural financial services in an area where the spread of population is thin, state of infrastructure is poor, the livelihood nature is a subsistence oriented one and the cost of delivery is very high, is very challenging. SRSP has also initiated a system of community investment funds which combines micro finance and social protection to the system of community banks which has been very popular among the highly conservative women.
