Message from the Patron in Chief and the Chairperson

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 been 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 our
honey 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 mass 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 message 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.

Highlights 2009-2010
Message from the Country Director
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 lay 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 stakeholders 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. It 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.

Economic Development
Hashoo Foundation identified, mobilized and trained 257 new women bee
keepers in Gilgit-Baltistan.
Hashoo Foundation distributed 384 bee hives and production kits to the trainees
/beneficiaries in Gilgit- Baltistan.
The capacities of 295 household were enhanced in livestock management
through training implemented by Hashoo Foundation.
Under the Expanded Dairy Development Project, Hashoo Foundation treated
13650 animals against diseases.

Special Needs
114 people living with disabilities are being trained in marketable skills at our

Umeed-e-Noor, Centre for Special Children.

3 Fun and Art fairs were organized to raise awareness about special needs.

Skills Development and Education

Hashoo Foundation trained 2110 individuals in vocational and professional training

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 info@hashoofoundation.org. These form an important component of our ongoing learning process.

Economic Development

Honey Bee Farming

The Women Empowerment through Honey Bee Farming Project Plan Beewas 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 income
earned 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.

Ensuring production of high quality honey through provision

of inputs and training

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 schools, 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 Gilgit-Baltistan, Kyber Pakhtunkhwa
and Azad Jammu and Kashmir. The Women Empowerment through Honey Bee
Project Plan Bee- has allowed these women to increase their income, hence,
bringing a positive change in their life style.

The project is helping women beekeepers to improve the
the quality of the childrens lives.

established in 2009 to demonstrate modern livestock raring techniques for the
local community.

Hashoo Foundation, that offers high quality floor polishing services to
commercial, government and private clients.

animal health, dairy product development, use of farm resources (biogas
production) and market development. In the future, this project aims to target
1500 households, by organizing the community into dairy business groups and
linking them to markets for the joint marketing of dairy products and purchase of
inputs and services.

Operating since 1999, MSA works with 5-star hotel chains, private hospitals
and governmental facilities, as well as commercial buildings. The project
employs and trains more than 70 staff. Excelling in the art of stone restoration
and obtaining the best quality of workmanship, MSA uses the latest technology
in its equipment and the finest diamond abrasives to restore the natural beauty

Umeed-e-Noor
Umeed-e-Noor represents Hashoo Foundation's focus on people living with
disabilities that has been operational since 1996. The aim of this program is to
provide children with special needs, an enabling environment (including creating
greater awareness within the society) where their social and psychological
needs are met, so they can maximize their potential and gain confidence and
the skills necessary to become productive members of our society.
A purpose built new center has been constructed to cater to the twin cities of
Islamabad and Rawalpindi, where they are about 200,000 children with
special needs. Umeed-e-Noor (UEN) was established to integrate these
children (most of them either abandoned or hidden away) back into mainstream
society with dignity, and so far 1,200 children have benefitted from the quality
therapy, education and general support and guidance offered by UEN.

Scholarship Program

Child Education Support Program (CESP)

Hashoo Foundation initiated its scholarship Program in 2004. The program

supports young, talented and deserving students from remote rural areas, by
paying for their tuition fees. The potential Hashoo Foundation scholars of are
high achievers, but limited resources pose a threat to their progress. The
scholarship award committee of Hashoo Foundation critically reviews the socioeconomic status of high achieving students and identifies the most deserving
ones.

CESP focuses on supporting quality education at the primary level to the most
vulnerable communities by providing means (tuition fee, books and uniform) to
poor families and encouraging them to send their children to local schools.
Hashoo Foundation first identifies out of school children who are interested to
rejoin their schooling, and subsequently selects the right school in the area for
them. So far, Hashoo Foundation's CESP is operational in District Ghizer (Gilgit
Baltistan) and District Chitral (KPK) and Rawalpindi.

The further education of students is supported in a reputed educational

institution in a specialized program on the condition that they maintain an
excellent grade throughout their academic life. The scholarship program is active
all over Pakistan and attracts maximum attention every year.

Social Welfare and Emergency Relief

Social Welfare
In the absence of state-sponsored social safety 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.

Beneficiaries of social welfare program

Sahara Fund
The Sahara Fund continues to support 55 affected families of the 2008
Islamabad Marriott blast and has designed a 10 year plan to rehabilitate and
restore their lives economically.

Assistance to IDPs
The recent turmoil in Pakistan resulted in one of the largest internal migration of
this century, where over 1.5 million Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) face
desperate living conditions in makeshift camps that lack basic living facilities.
The Hashoo Foundation and Hashoo Group initially provided 5 truckloads of
relief goods for the IDPs. Hashoo Foundation also established an emergency
health unit in Palosa camp, Charsadda, KPK staffed by a medical officer, a nurse
and medical technician and equipped with quality medicines. Hashoo
Foundation gave:
Medical services to 80 patients a day;
Educational assistance to 80 children in Hashoo Foundation school,
Nowshera Kalan, KPK; and
Evening classes to another 75 children (books, teachers and stationery) in
Hashoo Foundation school, Rashakai, KPK

Case Study
Mubashir Ali

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 assistance
along 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.

Soni, 44, resides in Danyore, Gilgit- Baltistan, and is a mother of 4 school -going
children. Her husband is jobless at the moment. To ensure that her family is secure
in the long run and all their basic requirements are met, she received honey bee
farming training with one hive. Now she is optimistic that she can increase her
income and improve her familys standard of living.

Gul Suri

Hashoo Foundation-USAs Executive Director, Cristal Montaz Baylor, center, was a special guest at a recent Microfinance Initiative meeting to accept a
donation raised by students for the Honey Bee Farming Project.

Gul Suri, 40, is a resident of Mominabad, Gilgit- Baltistan, and a mother of 4

school-going children. Her husband earns very little as a seasonal laborer and
the family owns no land or permanent house. They are struggling to make ends
meet, and Gul Suri has put up a brave fight to contribute to secure the future of
her family, particularly their education. She wants them to have the education
that her parents could never afford for her. With this progressive mindset, she
pushed herself to get honey bee farming training and earn Rs. 8,000 ($ 100)
from 2 hives (one provided by Hashoo Foundation and one she earned for
herself). As a beneficiary of the Credit Enterprise Program, she now sees light at
the end of the tunnel.

Mahoot
Mahoot, 48, resides in Mominabad, Gilgit- Baltistan, and is a mother of 5
school-going children; two of them are orphans whom she adopted. Mahoots
husband recently underwent a knee operation which has hampered his part
time work as a peon in the famous Baltit fort. After receiving the honey bee
farming training, Mahoot has started contributing to her large familys
educational and medical expenses. She feels extremely proud and hopes fulfill
her dream of a better future with assistance of the Credit Enterprise Program.

Shurkat Bibi
Shukrat Bibi, 35, resident of Mominabad, Gilgit-Baltistan, is a mother of 4
school going children. Her husband is an unskilled laborer whose income
depends on seasonal demand that varies on the harsh weather in this remote
village. Due to rising livings costs and reduced income, Shukrat Bibi found out
about Hashoo Foundations honey bee farming from her neighbor and decided
to take matters in her own hand. After attending the training she was provided
with one hive from which she earned enough to invest in one more.
In the next five years she wants to educate her family so they do not ever have to
face the harsh realities that Shukrat Bibi is confronted with. The Credit Enterprise
Program has made this possible.
