Saeed belonged to a poor family who barely had enough to make two ends meet, therefore, Saeed could not pursue further studies after completing his matriculation. Roaming around on the streets with no direction in life, financial instability and demotivation; his life had no purpose.
By enrolling himself at THF’s Bedian Campus, Lahore in Refrigeration & Air Conditioning course, it turned into a prosperous story of raising oneself from poverty to success. This voyage of acquiring skills has helped Saeed gain rich experience as an AC & Refrigeration Technician giving him a confidence to open up his own shop. Saeed can now contribute towards family income, supports his brother's education and pays medical bills of his mother; raising his socio-economic positioning within the immediate family.
The Hunar Foundation’s (THF) vision is to create a new cadre of skilled Pakistanis with internationally recognized technical qualifications that will open a new world of opportunities for employment and entrepreneurship.
Keeping to this vision, THF is empowering the marginalized youth, both boys and girls, with vocational training at six THF Institutes all across Pakistan, making them gainfully employed thus creating ‘A Skilled Pakistan’ in the process.
The courses that THF offers ranges from refrigeration, air conditioning, auto mechanics to plumbing, welding fabrication, electronics, auto cad and graphic animation for boys and hair dressing, beauty therapy and personal care attendance for girls. All the courses are developed following the City and Guilds curriculum, and accredited by the Sindh Trade Testing Board, TEVTA Technical Board and City & Guilds, UK.
Our objective of a ‘Skilled Pakistan’ is a mammoth task, and no one be it the government or any organization can do it on its own. We need support, from everyone.
Corporate entities like OGDCL, Pakistan Petroleum Limited, China Power Hub Generation Co. are supporting THF’s cause through Student Sponsorship Program. Under the programme, companies support the whole batch of students. We need more companies to come forward and help us in mission.
Although the cost of a single course is around Rs 90,000 but most of our students are not in a position to pay. So, THF provides these deserving students with scholarship to help them complete their training and stand on their own feet. Further, the institute also bears the expenses of only their uniform and stationary so they could focus on their studies rather worrying about all the expenses.
THF is a Shariah compliant organization and audited by Ernst and Young. Therefore, a lot of THF students are eligible for Zakat.
