Our work
We’re building climate resilient communities.
Together we can turn vulnerable settlements into safer, healthier communities.
The Challenge We Face
Why Climate Resilience Matters in Pakistan.
Pakistan is one of the top ten most climate-vulnerable countries in the world. Rapid urbanization means that floods, heatwaves, and unsafe housing hit the poorest settlements hardest. Without resilience, millions face a cycle of disaster and rebuilding.
Communities at the Center
From Pilots to Scalable Models.
We believe resilience can’t be delivered from the outside — it has to be shaped by the people who live it every day. From women entrepreneurs to trash-collectors to mothers: communities are at the heart of every solution we design. Together, we co-create affordable homes, safer streets, and green livelihoods, proving that change is strongest when people own it.
Housing & Infrastructure: Climate-smart homes and retrofits
Water & Sanitation: Community-managed systems.
Green Livelihoods: Training and enterprise opportunities
Policy & Data: Mapping and evidence for decision-making
Climate-Resilient Housing & Retrofitting
Building safer, cooler homes for Pakistan’s urban poor.
Pilots affordable, climate-resilient housing solutions like insulated roofs, solar energy, and flood-adaptive designs co-created with communities.
.
Community-Driven Water & Sanitation (WASH)
Local solutions for clean water and safer streets.
Tests decentralized systems like rainwater harvesting, bio-sand filters, and lane drainage, managed by community groups and linked to utilities.
.
Community Mapping & Action Plans
Giving slum communities a voice in city planning.
Facilitates mapping and planning workshops in 15 settlements (Karachi + Quetta), feeding into UN-Habitat’s four-year infrastructure program.
Policy Dialogue & Data Innovation
Evidence-driven change for Pakistan’s cities.
Develops GIS maps, monitoring dashboards, and urban profiles to influence provincial and municipal planning on resilience and housing.
Knowledge Repository & Sharing
Preserving urban wisdom for future generations.
Digitizes and shares decades of urban planning knowledge, making it open-access for policymakers, academics, and communities.
Climate-Smart Housing Pilots
Rebuilding lives after floods with safer housing.
Constructed 70 units in Sindh and 59 in Punjab post-2022 floods; tested ventilation, hollow bricks in Orangi.
