  • The global agenda has never been so varied, so pressing or so complex. It demands of the international community new approaches, new resources and new commitments of commercial and political will. We cannot wait for governments to do it all.

    Kofi Annan

    Former Secretary General of the United Nations

  • There is a clear and present need for rethinking development economics and questioning our prevailing paradigms. We need to pursue unconventional and locally-attuned solutions.

    Robert Zoellick

    Former President of the World Bank

  • Research shows that countries which receive foreign aid grow considerably slower that those who don’t. They don’t have to deal with the strings which often come attached with aid and are allowed to grow organically.

    William Easterly

    Former World Bank Economist

  • If we can find approaches that meet the needs of the poor in ways that generate profits for business and votes for politicians, we will have found a sustainable way to reduce inequity in the world. This task is open-ended. It can never be finished. But a conscious effort to answer this challenge will change the world.

    Bill Gates

    Former Chairman of Microsoft and Co-Chair
    of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

  • I would struggle to find an example of a country whose progress and success were more in Britain's national interest than were those of Pakistan.

    David Cameron

    Former UK Prime Minister

  • The floods in Pakistan is the greatest humanitarian crisis the United Nations has responded to in its 65-year history, with more people affected than the South-East Asian tsunami and the recent earthquakes in Kashmir and Haiti combined.

    Ban Ki Moon

Qismat Funding Request Form282KB DOC

Qismat Development Fund has been established so we can provide funding and work in coordination with international and national non-governmental organisations. We are especially keen to work with locally attuned grass-roots organisations and civil society groups with innovative project ideas.

 

Grassroots & Civil Society Organisations

We team with community and grass roots organisations, as well as local governments in the areas of operation to support hands-on, sustainable local projects that reach and empower the most vulnerable people and help rebuild lives and livelihoods.

 

Local and International NGOs

We work together with local and international organisations active in the field of relief and recovery, and reconstruction and helping to build back better and enhance people's and communities' capacities to help themselves.

 

Development Agencies

Partnerships are built on the policy and programming levels to foster a climate towards the implementation of development projects that promote sustainable growth.

 

Private Business Sector

Qismat has developed strategic partnerships with a kaleidoscope of organisations to provide management, media, communications, finance, and other expertise to impart their substantial knowledge to our development goals. Our partnerships help build bridges between sectors and helps support Qismat initiatives to maximize the flow of expertise and talent. In turn, Qismat and its vast network share knowledge and opportunities with business partners, expanding the horizons of these pioneering businesses.
