4. Problem The area is confronted with immense lack of awareness on the part of parents especially mothers, leading to problems like low quality education and health, poverty and unemployment which can be overcome through motivation and engagement.

6. Vision and Mission Vision: A prosperous, tolerant, progressive, and flourishing populous. Mission: We provide quality services to enrich capabilities of women in order to boost employment, education and health advocacy and alleviate poverty through qualified mentors to the people of Murree.

7. Theory of change By creating awareness among mothers we believe we can strengthen and develop the community better than any other approach because women lie at the core of every family. By carrying out a program which focuses on the skill development of mothers unemployment in the area can be decreased. By conducting counseling session with mothers we can boost education of children by educating mothers. We can make mothers realize that healthy children would give rise to healthy community.

8. Solution Services: Women mentoring (with a focus on mothers). We will establish a skill development institute for women which would also include awareness and counseling session with women of the community.

9. Activities we would perform Building skills of women especially mothers via training sessions (teaching them Balochi and Gilgiti embroidery) Awareness sessions on issues like children education, health and family planning. One to one counseling of mothers. Sports competitions for school children in vocations We would regularly organize environmental campaigns to boost cleanliness in the area Customers: Women of the community

10. Competition in the area. There are various vocational training centers in Murree which do not cover aspects of awareness and counseling. There are no trained mentors or if there was a skilled mentor she was not paid at par because of which the quality was effected. Mismanagement of the training institutes. What we do different (already mentioned.)

11. Social impact Increased employment rates. Increasing education opportunities for children. Providing enhanced quality of education to students. Improved health situation via awareness. Unsoiled and uncontaminated environment.
