Share International

What Share International does

Share International is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and UN-recognized NGO founded in 2010 in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, operating a portfolio of humanitarian and educational programs with a primary operational footprint in Pakistan via its registered affiliate, Share Pakistan Charity (SPC), established in 2011 under the Trust Act 1882. The organization serves orphans, underprivileged children, widows, food-insecure families, and communities in arid or disaster-affected regions of Pakistan, structured around four branded program lines: SHARE PATH (education sponsorship at $30/month per child, academic monitoring with B-grade minimum), SHARE LIFT (interest-free microfinance through the LIFT program in partnership with SIRAT/ALSIRAT Bank), SHARE STEP (digital literacy and technology training), and SHARE HELP (humanitarian aid covering Ramadan food baskets, water-well installation, sewing machine provision, disaster relief, and marriage support).

The organization's core technology infrastructure is minimal — donation processing via SSL-secured servers, an information website (sharefunds.org), email communications, and organic social media presence — with no proprietary software platform, mobile app, AI/ML component, or published API. SPC operates physical infrastructure including a 1,000+ student school in Quetta (since 2019), tuition centers at the Islamic Research Center in Karachi, and a 500-square-yard Karachi property acquired in January 2025 for orphanage construction.

The revenue model is donation-based with individual donors, monthly recurring sponsorships ($30/month for PATH), and seasonal campaign contributions (Ramadan Ration Program, Qurbani); SPC disclosed PKR 131,387,060 in donations and PKR 132,343,463 in charitable outflows for FY July 2024–June 2025. Administrative overhead is covered internally by the Board of Directors under a "zero-overhead" model. The donor base is geographically distributed across the US, Pakistan, and prospective donors in India, served through the website donation portal and organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn).

Product overview

Share International operates as a nonprofit humanitarian organization offering a portfolio of charitable programs rather than a unified software product. The core offerings include SHARE PATH (education sponsorship), SHARE LIFT (microfinance/interest-free loans), SHARE STEP (digital literacy and technology training), and SHARE HELP (humanitarian aid including food distribution, water relief, skills training, and disaster relief). The organization also operates a Pakistan chapter (Share Pakistan Charity) with additional programs including educational complexes, orphanages, and vocational training centers.
