About us
The Roshan Aaj Akhter Hameed Khan Foundation (AHK-F) is a
registered non-profit NGO working in urban slums and informal
settlements of Pakistan. Our approach is women-centered and
based on the development thinking of Pakistani social scientist
Akhter Hameed Khan to enable self-suffciency in low-income
communities through grassroot mobilization, access to information
skills, and resource facilitation.
AHK-F partners with communities to find sustainable local
solutions for women’s economic empowerment and their household
prosperity and well-being.
Areas of Expertise
Health
In urban slum, access to quality healthcare is often limited, we aim to change this through our community-based Aapis program
Economic Empowerment
The marginalized women of urban slums are constrained by low educational attainment, mobility, structural barriers, institutional gender discrimination and inequalities
Education
Started as a Library for low-income children and young people, the Digital Education Center is now a tuition cum learning space in Dhok Hassu-Mangtal Rawalpindi
Our Outreach
Our projects cover all across Pakistan. Starting from the Orangi Pilot Project (1980) to our Urban Impact Lab (2022) we have worked in the poorest urban communities in water and sanitation, health, home-based schools, microcredit, gender based violence, governance, aid effectiveness and evidence based decision making.
