4. Problem
• The area is confronted with immense lack of awareness
on the part of parents especially mothers, leading to
problems like low quality education and health, poverty
and unemployment which can be overcome through
motivation and engagement.

6. Vision and Mission
• Vision: A prosperous, tolerant, progressive, and
flourishing populous.
• Mission: We provide quality services to enrich
capabilities of women in order to boost employment,
education and health advocacy and alleviate poverty
through qualified mentors to the people of Murree.

7. Theory of change
• By creating awareness among mothers we believe we can
strengthen and develop the community better than any other
approach because women lie at the core of every family.
• By carrying out a program which focuses on the skill development
of mothers unemployment in the area can be decreased.
• By conducting counseling session with mothers we can boost
education of children by educating mothers.
• We can make mothers realize that healthy children would give
rise to healthy community.

8. Solution
• Services: Women mentoring (with a focus on mothers).
• We will establish a skill development institute for
women which would also include awareness and
counseling session with women of the community.

9. Activities we would perform
• Building skills of women especially mothers via training sessions
(teaching them Balochi and Gilgiti embroidery)
• Awareness sessions on issues like children education, health and
family planning.
• One to one counseling of mothers.
• Sports competitions for school children in vocations
• We would regularly organize environmental campaigns to boost
cleanliness in the area
• Customers: Women of the community

10. Competition in the area.
• There are various vocational training centers in Murree
which do not cover aspects of awareness and counseling.
• There are no trained mentors or if there was a skilled
mentor she was not paid at par because of which the quality
was effected.
• Mismanagement of the training institutes.
