What Moawin Foundation does

Moawin Foundation is an SECP-registered nonprofit organization established in 2014 and headquartered in Islamabad, Pakistan. The foundation operates programs across three verticals — education, skills development, and humanitarian support — serving underprivileged children, youth (with explicit emphasis on women and girls), and vulnerable families across Pakistan, with operations spanning Gilgit-Baltistan, Punjab, Islamabad, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Its flagship initiative, the Public Schools Reorganization Program (PSRP), adopts and improves government schools through infrastructure upgrades, teacher recruitment, and digital systems implementation, and the foundation reports reach across 286 schools, 43,000+ students, and 2,200+ trained teachers.

The program portfolio includes E-Learning classrooms, Early Childhood Care & Education (ECCE), school infrastructure development, teacher training, vocational training institutes and Sui Dhaga Centers providing dressmaking and beautician skills primarily to women, Life Skills-Based Education (LSBE) delivered with Aahung, the Leader in Me program, and the Digital Safar digital literacy initiative implemented with Tech Valley using Google CS First and Be Internet Awesome modules. Core digital infrastructure comprises a School Information System (SIS) used by cluster coordinators for inventory, school tracking, and program reporting across adopted schools, alongside E-Learning classroom rollouts. The foundation maintains an international donor presence, including a UK Chapter fundraiser with 350+ attendees, and partners with Microsoft NPO and Google for Nonprofits on technology enablement.

Moawin funds operations entirely through individual and organizational donations (via donate.mf.org.pk and international donor drives), corporate CSR partnerships, and collaborative arrangements with government bodies such as the Punjab Education Foundation, Federal Directorate of Education, NAVTTC, and the Economic Affairs Division. All services are delivered free of charge to beneficiaries. The foundation holds a stack of compliance credentials including SECP registration, CAF International validation, Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy certification, Shariah-Zakat compliance, FBR tax exemption, and an Economic Division MoU, and is led by Chairman Admiral (R) Mohammad Asif Sandila (former Chief of Naval Staff) and CEO Rear Admiral (R) Foad Baig.
