ABOUT PHRDN
Pakistan Humanitarian & Rural Development Network (PHRDN) is registered, independent, non-profit,
non-political, non-sectarian and non-governmental organization. The organization came into being with
strong determination, commitment and dedication. The organization is registered with Social Welfare
Department.
PHRDN is a local, multi-disciplinary, development oriented and non-profit making organization. PHRDN
affirms to be committed to wellbeing of masses through sound development in remote and impoverished
pockets of Pakistan.
PHRDN believes in institutional building at grass roots level to support in bringing social change in the
society. Hence a common platform that is created and owned by the poor is a pre-requisite through which
the poor can make themselves count in the development process. It has made social mobilization as core
activity and entry point followed by different development interventions including social and physical
service delivery projects, coordinating and networking while emphasizing on gender balance and good
governance. The main aim of the program is to mainstream rural poor into socio-economic development
and reduce their vulnerability.
Over the last year PHRDN enjoys the history of being a civil society organization committed to the
conservation, promotion and sustainable management of natural resources and has had been advocating

the participatory management of natural resource as a mean to livelihood security. It worked with a spirit to
serve humanity without any discrimination on the basis of gender, caste and creed. While committed to the
wellbeing of masses PHRDN has the history of working with all segments of society even with little
resources and expertise, thus becoming a role model at local level. So after its one decade history PHRDN
felt it necessary to work as an institution with an extended and holistic philosophy of participatory
development to help the deprived and marginalized segments of society to have an access to the basic
means of livelihood together with improved social services at local level.
With the passage of time, PHRDN has developed its capacity to meet and adapt the changing environment
in its surrounding and work with small and big donors to facilitate the process of development and smooth
delivery of benefits to the communities at large. Staff capacities have also been built through various
technical trainings during the course of the job.
