Foreword Bunyad cultivates community interaction with resource systems to fulfill basic needs of the present population sustaining it for the next generation. Bunyad works in close collaboration with the Public and Private sector for long-term long sustainable, integrated ed development, through the holistic approach of development, by improving communities’ access to “Literacy”, “Education”, “Health” and “Livelihood” in order to improve the HDI status of the country and build social capital. Education is not only a basic human right but also a prerequisite for national development. With changing social and economic conditions, rural communities (women & children) have been denied an equitable share of increased education facilities and services. s. Estimates place the overall literacy rate in the country at 54% (37% for females and 63% for males). In rural areas, the gender gap in literacy is much wider. Though literacy rates have risen considerably in recent years, only 23 percent of women in rural rural areas are literate. This is matter of great concern and requires increased focus on improving the situation of literacy in rural as well as urban areas. In the health sector, almost 40 million women are in the reproductive age with approximately 5.4 million going through the ordeal of pregnancy and child birth every year. 25000 of them die while half a million suffer from serious diseases. The infant mortality rate of 78 per 1000 liv live births and a recently calculated maternal mortality rate of 276 per 100,000 live births are both higher than other neighboring South Asian countries. Very high fertility rates, a high unmet need for family planning and very low rates of skilled birth attendance attendance are some of the fundamental underlying causes for the poor health of women and children in Pakistan. There are numerous additional factors affecting this situation, including political instability, poor governance, rising religious conservatism and d militancy, militancy a vastly under-resourced resourced public social sector, and a poorly functioning public sector health service delivery system at the district and Union Council levels. According to some conservative estimates, the share of urban population will incre increase to 48 percent by 2025 (PIDEI). Opportunities for earning a decent income being scarce in the rural areas of Pakistan, most of the rural communities mainly depend upon agriculture. Agriculture cannot alone sustain communities due to fragmentation of land land holdings with the passage of time. Having inadequate or no skill to earn their livelihood in the rural areas, working age males are moving to urban areas for jobs, depleting the agriculture environment further. The need for upgrading technical and management management skills at the grassroots level is a matter deserving serious consideration.. Improved skills, enhance human productivity, promote the utilization of local resources, reduce external dependence and build self-confidence self confidence in people. All of these factors contribute to poverty alleviation and improve the quality of life of the community. We are thankful to Dr. Anjum Riaz-ul-Haq Riaz Haq for fine tuning this report & Riaz Ahmed for compiling it.

Literacy / Non-Formal Formal Education Developing countries like Pakistan need to educate and train their human resources urgently to accelerate the process of development. Bunyad realizes that the most reliable and suitable means of promoting education in the country is formal schooling. However this schooling system does not extend to cover those who have missed four or five years of schooling, or have previously dropped out. It is essential to cover the expanse of out of school children and other illiterates. Having the uncomfortable distinction of being the 4th highest in illiterates in the World, Bunyad made Literacy & Education the cornerstone of activity, taking their Learners then on on- wards to other development programs for poverty alleviation. Rural women's involvement in the cycle of learning we learnt was quite vital. Parenting education, building the capacity of SMC's, Adult.

Micro Finance & Women’s Empowerment Lopsided development 70 % of the population owned mobile phones, while barely 12% had any Bank Accounts (The News Jan.2013). More so women having little access to any financial sector of the country. Following the activities of many Developing countries, we felt that microenterprise was the best road for women to enter this field. & the best for empowering them, when they It is notable that access to financial resources is an opening to empowerment, but sustained empowerment comes with a mix of financial and non-financial services

could run their own ventures & improve their lives. Bunyad has realized that microfinance promotes women’s decision making power thus enhancing their overall socio-economic status not only in the household but also in the community. Women’s empowerment is one of the areas of Bunyad

Microfinance mandated to help poor women to take charge of their lives. Currently operating in 5 Districts Hafizabad, Multan, Lahore, Sialkot and Bahawalnagar. 36 UCs and 90 villages of these districts are being targeted. Following microcredit interventions, BLCC’s cumulative client numbers stood at 11900 at the end of 2009, and at 22200 in 2010. Now the total clients are 24112.

It is expected to be effective by March 2012. The support of PPAF and Orix Leasing is gratefully acknowledged. Bunyad has started a small credit line initiative also. ORIX Leasing One of the key challenges emerging nations face while pursuing economic growth and development is how to counter poverty. Poverty is a multifaceted phenomenon that includes, but goes beyond lack of adequate income. The overarching objective of development in many countries has been and continues to be the eradication of all facets of poverty. Microfinance is surely a means to an end and is often considered to be one of the most effective strategies in the fight against global poverty. Microfinance is sustainable and can be implemented on a scale necessary to respond to the urgent needs of poor people. Micro credit is a small amount of money loans to poor or unemployed entrepreneurs, typically serves people in developing countries who do not qualify for a traditional loan. Micro credit can be offered, often without collateral, to an individual or through group lending.

Bunyad Institute of Community Education/Training Center Resource Center -Institute of Community Education ICE has been established and constructed on BUNYAD's own land, to provide training on various subjects related to education, capacity building of communities, livestock development, gender, child protection and courses on NFE (Non-Formal Education) / AE (Adult Education) and Primary Education. An Audio visual aids library of over 16000 books and articles has been established and experienced Trainers/Facilitators appointed.. ARTC -Appeal Resource Training Consortium, an Asian Region network, of which BUNYAD is a member, is providing the main technical support. With 58 million illiterates, ICE will go a long way in supporting the Government's initiatives to eradicate illiteracy, by building the capacity of various stockholders. ICE is achieving its goals through the inter-linked functions of Training, Review, Design and Development of Material, Community Education and Information Dissemination and Research and Development. Awareness cannot be brought to the community just through funding or implementation of projects. The workforce has to be involved. BLCC thus has numerous training programs for the trainers themselves. Since the need for training is very large and cannot be met by one institution, ICE adopted the following training strategy to multiply training skills:   

Level 1: Preparation of Master Trainers Level 2: Training of Trainers Level 3: Training of Teachers, Supervisors, Community

During the reporting period Bunyad conducted 123 training programs where in 3075 personel were trained for achieving the objectives of institute of community education. Internship Another positive aspect of Bunyad's Human Resource and Organizational Development is that we provide internships on a regular basis to a number of students. In this manner, both the students and Bunyad get useful benefit from each other. The students have theoretical knowledge and Bunyad provides them with the practical opportunities. During the last 2 years, interns came from institutions like the University of The Punjab (Social Work, Sociology and Women’s Studies departments) and the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS).
