Hi All

I want to compile a list of Pakistani charities, NGOs, relief agencies, media outlets etc. This would be helpful for people in general. I still remember peopel scrambling to figure out who is doing what in earthquake ravaged Pakistan. This will also be useful for the hands on projects we have talked about recently.

Name of organization:
focus/areas of work:
website:
phone:
contact email:

Thank You

Is there a similar site for media contacts.

btw the listing is a bit tough, u dont have an option there to look at them alphabetically or anything. better than nothing but a dropdown list to select would be helpful.

Plus it is not complete, I entered names of some groups I know that have been around for 2 decades plus, and they are nto showing up. good resource though.

All

its a good resource, but please add the names here as well if you see that the group u know is not listed there.

Thanks

Very few NGO's that are trustworthy and completely honest.

Of the two I have worked with, and i know are run honestly are Edhi and The Citizen's Foundation (TCF)

I have a question that is off-topic, but somewhat related:

Do oyu Fraudz or anyone else have any information on any entities/companies/organizations here that have a link to NGO's back home, or just that type of group to work with here. Reason I am asking is my husband did work with org of these sorts in pak, but need some leads here

I'd contribute, but Im not even sure if the ones I knew about exist anymore... There was one (nothing to do with relief though), which was really impressive, SDNPK, sustainable development network of Pakistan and their office was located in G-6 I believe, close to covered market. They were big on networking Pakistan, not just technicalogically but through various traditional means too.
