The Result of Inspiration from GEAR

Inspiration and learning from GEAR has led PAF-KIET students to generate employment (in most projects) or solve one of the most critical problem for poor from the society.

In the beginning, the support from GEAR enabled around 30 students to help 6 families to stand on their feet. This beginning was a trigger point of a chain reaction which spurred in the semesters which followed. The push which GEAR provided, is still sustainable, just like it’s on-ground-activities, Alhamdolillah.

Till now 53 families have been helped, by the grace of Allah SWT, with an amount of Rs. 630,000/- (approx), during the course of 4 semester. Most of these projects are related with generation of source of self-employment for the needy.

The entire experience is transforming the lives of not only poor families but also changing the mindset of the students as they realize their the true problems faced by the poverty struck population. Furthermore they realizes that being among the economically stable ones what responsibilities toward society they hold and value of the psychological rewards which are reaped in the process of creating solutions of the social ills, is also realized.

The success so far has sparked the management to involve all departments in the process of involving students to solve the problems of the society. In the forth coming semester this project will be done by other departments at PAFKIET as well, subsequently increasing the quantum of impact by many time.
