"Badelein Ge Nizaam, Khushaal Hoga Pakistan"
We will change the system, Pakistan will be prosperous
Pakistan is a nation of extraordinary potential, built on the strength and resilience of its 245 million people. Yet for 78 years, citizens of Pakistan have repeatedly seen failed systems of governance, undemocratic military rule and capture by the elite. From birth, our children face one of the world's highest mortality and malnutrition rates, while 26 million children are out of school. Young people often cannot find jobs despite years of education. The economy suffers from lack of manufacturing industries and opportunities, slow growth (despite rich resources) with high inflation driven by security-minded policies, ad hoc regulations and lack of good governance.
The full potential of Pakistan can be utilized by a transformation of social norms that hold back our women and girls from education, employment, decision-making and leadership - depriving Pakistan of its human development capital.
Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Miftah Ismail, and a group of concerned citizens founded Awaam Pakistan because they believe this must change. Our aim is to re-engage citizens in governance, trust building, and a trade-centric economy where human capital development is a priority for a prosperous and healthy Pakistan.
Awaam Pakistan is working towards a Khushaal Pakistan with opportunities for all through respect of the Constitution, equality of justice and strengthening economic ties with neighboring countries and the global world. Come join us to reclaim Pakistan's promise and ensure that its story becomes one of progress, equality, and shared prosperity.
