How we choose our location for action?
We started our work in Lahore, the largest city in the province Punjab. We are working now across Pakistan through our partners and other supporting individuals who care about our cause.

The expansion of our projects is driven by our mission, not with the donor constraints. We create resources for our work as we expand.
