Message from the Chief Executive Officer

Dear Friends of Hashoo Foundation, We are delighted to share with you our extraordinary progress with a great sense of humility. After the consolidation of the three charitable organization of our family we have developed a Charter for the Hashoo Foundation which outlines its values and strategic direction. This was an important process for the family to undergo, as it moves us towards our aspiration to institutionalize into a world-class international development organization, with a key focus on obtaining sustainable results. Our vision is an ethical, equitable, inclusive and progressive society in which people live with dignity and have power over their own lives. We are committed to serve humanity by undertaking the challenges that our world is facing; suffering keeps increasing day by day, poverty is on the rise, global turmoil, and natural and man-made disasters taking precedent. Under such huge disturbances, there is an increased need for civil society organizations to take additional responsibilities and strive to improve governance to ensure transparency and benefit from the funds available globally both privately and publicly. Hashoo Foundation has designed innovative and empowering programs to further the cause of improving the quality of peoples life, so they can live in peace. We achieve this by creating opportunities for communities to become economically independent. Yet, these improvements rely on developing synergies between partners and stakeholders with a key focus on obtaining sustainable results and a quality benchmark. We also continued our projects in the United States, working on policy issues with other philanthropic partners. Building on the success of the BBC world challenge award winning Honey bee farming social enterprise project, the Foundation is partnering with several US micro-credit University programs to explore growing the project through the extension of micro-loans. The Foundation is also diligently working to export the produce of its social enterprise projects into the international market and is expanding the project across Pakistan and into Afghanistan and Tajikistan. We are happy to share that our new center for special needs people, Umeed-e-Noor, moved to its new premises in Islamabad opening its doors to over 300 children offering education and therapy services. The center is also providing vocational and technical training for adults with physical and mental challenges. We are very thankful to the Board of Directors for their guidance and support, to all our donors for their trust and confidence and to the management team and volunteers for their noble work. This service to humanity connects us together and collectively our efforts can bring smiles to many around the world. We would like to leave you with a message of hope and pray for peace in the world. We look forward to continuing our long journey together in the years ahead. God bless you all. 3 Sadruddin Hashwani Patron in Chief Sarah Hashwani Chairperson

Message from the CEO On the following pages of this Annual Report you will see and read about the many achievements of Hashoo Foundation (HF) and learn more about our continuing efforts to assist vulnerable and marginalized communities. Although there are many achievements to report this year, one of our main successes was winning the BBC World Challenge 2008 for our 'Women Empowerment through Honey Bee Farming' project. This is the first time Pakistan has ever won this prestigious global competition, so the acknowledgement of our work is even more rewarding. In 2008/09 Hashoo Foundation greatly increased its efforts in the core areas of our programming interest: (1) Economic Development; (2) Special Needs; (3) Education and Skills Development and; (4) Social Welfare and Emergency Relief. These ongoing social and economic development programs empower girls and women, increase household incomes, help develop skills for employability and provide emergency care and assistance to the needy and less able. Without disruption to our core programs, we also provided emergency health services to more than 12,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) by opening a health facility in Palusa Camp (Charasadda District); and under the Sahara Fund continued providing housing support, food, children's education and medical treatment to 52 families, who were victims of the Islamabad Marriott bomb blast on September 20, 2008. It has been a remarkable year for Hashoo Foundation with many positive accomplishments. These results reflect the sincerity and hard work of our team, the trust of our donors and support from the Board of Trustees. Ultimately, the Hashoo Foundation has been offered partnership by national and international development organizations, donors and government departments, not only in Pakistan but also in Afghanistan and Tajikistan. As we continue to move forward in the coming year please remember Together We Make a Difference! Dr. Imam Yar Baig Chief Executive Officer

Overview

Hashoo Foundation
Among the notable highlights of Hashoo Foundation in 2008/09 was the ability to replicate the BBC award winning honey bee farming project to other parts of the country including AJK and NWFP and to expand the Chitral and Gilgit bee keeping activities to other communities in the region. During the year honey production increased from 5 tons to more than 30 tons. This pure, natural honey is now being actively marketed countrywide. The model dairy farm in Balakot, Mansehra District (Expanded Dairy Development Project) has already increased its milk production by more than 10% in the first year, through improved breeding and improved livestock management and has trained more than 180 women in the making of butter, cheese and yoghurt. The Skills Development Program enlarged its training capabilities in the regions, broadened its services to include training in professional skills and has continued to strengthen the employment potential for the youth. The health program provided services and out-patient treatment to more than 120,000 people in Talhata, Balakot with emphasis on maternal child healthcare. Through this program HF also supported 34 Spinal Cord injury patients by providing treatment and rehabilitation services. During this year patient care was expanded to include new health facilities in Karachi.

2008-2009
Educational support to young and talented girls and boys continued in Gilgit, Chitral and Rawalpindi including shelter, scholarships and provision of skills training. Formal educational support continued and is provided through the 13 HF primary schools operating in all 4 provinces of the country. Umeed-e-Noor, the 'Center of Excellence' for children with special needs moved into its own building in sector H-8/1 Islamabad. The basement and ground floors are nearly complete and upon completion will accommodate more than 300 children as day students, and 40 resident boarders. Hashoo Foundation USA successfully implemented the Expectation Graduation Room Pilot Project that has received broad recognition.

Core Program Area

Hashoo Foundation

at a Glance
7 8

Hashoo Foundation has 4 core program areas which are as follows:

Economic Development
The Hashoo Foundation's programs in this area aim to achieve greater financial independence and self-reliance of individuals, families, and communities. Economic development will in turn lead to improved social development. Partnering with communities at the grass roots level and exploring issues of socio-economic development, our economic development projects enhance the basic earning capacity of the community partners while improving access to existing health, education, and nutrition services.

Special Needs
People living with disabilities face severe stigma and discrimination in Pakistan. Within this population - estimated to reach 10% of Pakistan's overall population - children are particularly at risk. Hashoo Foundation's Special Needs Program aims to rehabilitate children with disabilities through projects such as Umeed-eNoor.

Education and Skills Development

The Foundation views education holistically, acknowledging the importance of formal and informal schooling, as well as soft-skill development and hands-on vocational training. The Hashoo Foundation currently operates 13 schools to meet community needs. These adhere to government standards, and are strictly monitored for quality assurance. The Hashoo Foundation also works within the fields of enhanced employability and placement. Some individuals remain under-employed despite adequate education. This is mostly due to lack of updated skills. The Foundation aims to enhance employability by training students in latest technologies, and mentoring them to accelerate their employment growth.

Social Welfare and Emergency Relief

In the absence of state-sponsored social safety nets, vulnerable families and individuals facing temporary hardships and/or unforeseen expenditures can be easily thrown into an endless cycle of poverty. The Social Welfare and Emergency Relief Program offers medical and economic assistance to families that need help until they can stand on their own feet again. In the form of small grants and loans, it covers for unforeseen hardships such as medical expenses, loss of job, or loss of a family member, and enables families to overcome crises before they exacerbate.

Honey Bee Farming in Gilgit-Baltistan

Honey Bee Farming in Gilgit-Baltistan was initiated by the Hashoo Foundation to empower women in the remote Northern Areas of Pakistan by expanding employment opportunities and generating a stable source of income through the sale of high-quality honey. Originally aiming to reach 50 women, in the span of just two years, this initiative has already exceeded its target, training and engaging 312 women in honeybee production and benefiting 1,200 dependants. Previously marginalized, women participating in this project have been able to take leadership positions within key honey bee organizations and increased their production by 15 percent. There is also a 32 percent increase in their average household income as a result of the sale of honey. The project is based on a system of social barter designed to promote social change. The Hashoo Foundation agrees to buy the women beekeepers' honey at above local market price and successfully links them to the lucrative high end markets of 5-star hotels in Pakistan, on the condition, that the families send their children to quality schools and improve their nutrition.

Case

Study
Yasmeen, 45, is divorced and supports her family of 5
children, all of whom are school going in the remote village of Mominabad, Hunza (Gilgit-Baltistan). She barely makes ends meet in her temporary makeshift shelter, which she was forced to live in after her husband of 15 years abandoned her 3 years ago. She has no house or land of her own, and her only source of income was embroidery work. Hashoo Foundation pays for one of her child's education, and got her trained in honey bee farming in June 2009. She earned Rs. 4,000 ($ 50) this season from one hive (donated by Hashoo Foundation), which has eased her burden of responsibility. She now has a small loan provided the students of the University of St. Thomas MicroCredit Program )UST MCP) to buy at least 5 more hives ($500) to increase her income, break the poverty cycle and ensure that all her children receive a proper education.

This project builds on the success of the "Sustainable Livelihood for Women-Headed Household" project which was implemented by Hashoo Foundation with support from Church World Services (CWS-P/A) and Evangelischer Entwicklungsdienst (EED), where livestock was distributed amongst the earthquake affected and vulnerable population. Through this project lessons were learnt, and working with the livestock department, has proved to be key to the continuing success of the EDDP . The third phase of the project envisages to: Expand EDDP to other Union Councils; Setup a marketing mechanisms for the EDDP's dairy products; and Brand and franchise the dairy products for sales and distribution

Needs
Umeed-e-Noor
In the twin cities Islamabad and Rawalpindi alone, there are about 200,000 children with special needs. Umeed-e-Noor (UEN) was established to integrate these children (mostly abandoned children) back into mainstream society with dignity, and so far 1,200 children have benefited from the quality therapy and education offered by UEN. UEN offers support to children with the following disabilities; Umeed - e - Noor, a center of excellence for special children, was established in 1996 and registered with the Government of Pakistan under the Voluntary Social Welfare Agencies (Registration and Control) Ordinance 1961. Initially operating from residential premises, in 2007, UEN began the construction of a new center, purposefully designed and to be built for people with special needs (Approximately 200-300). With land provided by the Government and contributions from the Hashoo Group and other valuable donors, construction of Phase 1 is now complete, and UEN moved into its purpose built premises on July 01, 2009. Upon completion, this center will offer state of the art services and facilities such as audio logical assessment, physiotherapy, speech therapy and vocational training. Fund-raising efforts are being made to completed the three-storey building by the end of 2012.

Social Welfare
In the absence of state-sponsored social safety nets, vulnerable families and individuals facing temporary hardships and/or unforeseen expenditures can be easily thrown into an endless cycle of poverty. Initiated in 1999, the Social Welfare Program offers medical, economic and educational assistance to families that need limited and specific help. In the form of small grants and loans, it covers for unforeseen hardships such as medical expenses, loss of job, or loss of a family member, and enables families to overcome crises before they exacerbate. The Social Welfare Program provides support to individuals and/or families through. Medical; Financial; and Educational Assistance

Ms. Shahida Parveen, is a widow and a mother of 5 children. She resides in Rawalpindi and is the sole bread earner of her household as her husban died in 2007. She approached Hashoo Foundation for assistance in 2007, as all her children were going to school. Hashoo Foundation approved her case and a sum of Rs. 500 was sanctioned for Ms. Shahida to support her in educating her children. This financial support was temporary and as per Hashoo Foundations policy, beneficiaries are encouraged to stand on their own feet to become economically empowered. Therefore, a meeting was held with Ms. Shahida, where she agreed to start her own tailoring enterprise, as she had expertise in this area. Hashoo Foundation provided Ms. Shahida with a sewing machine, so she could generate income though her skills and become self sustainable in the process. . She is happy with her new found freedom and has enjoyed a stable income from tailoring ladies clothes, that have been received well. She thanks Hashoo Foundation for their timely support and subsequent advice that has given Ms. Shahida financial freedom and ensured a better future for her young children.

Sahara Fund
On September 20, 2008, there was a suicide bomb blast outside the Islamabad Marriott Hotel. This catastrophe resulted in the tragic death of over 56 people and more than 260 people were injured, some to the point of disability which will prevent them from returning to work. The majority of the victims were poor workers who were working days and nights to make their living. Beyond the emotional devastation caused by this calamity, Islamabad was faced with the delicate social / economic reality of the 600 immediate family members of the victims. In response to this tragedy, on September 24, 2008, Sarah Hashwani, Chairperson of Hashoo Foundation launched "The Sahara Fund" and the Relief and Rehabilitation Committee to provide immediate financial support to families of those affected by the Islamabad Marriott bombing. In addition to providing medical care for the injured, the Sahara Fund sponsored programs to help the families of the victims with their children's education, medical needs and skills training and employment until they become self-sufficient. Hashoo Foundation's task committees and volunteers were mobilized on various fronts to provide immediate relief through recorded visits with each of the injured victims and their families in their homes, hospitals, and ICUs. Each family's situation was assessed on a case by case basis so as to aid them in achieving the same income level they had prior to this catastrophe. Hashoo Foundation is currently supporting 70 families through the Sahara Fund. A 10 year rehabilitation plan has been made for the affected families, so that they can recover from this huge setback and become self-sustainable. We hope to empower and inspire those who lost their loved ones in the devastating explosion.

PROJECT

Child Education Support Program (CESP)

Access to quality education is a priority for Hashoo Foundation. Since 2004, our Child Education Support Program (CESP) has contributed in improving access to quality education in some of the most isolated areas of Pakistan. Initiated in the Gilgit-Baltistan, CESP provides financial support to out-of-school children. In the districts of Gilgit, Ghizer, Gupis, Yasin and Ishkoman, Hashoo Foundation identifies outof-school children with the help of community leaders. These children are then enrolled in one of the 120 schools established by Aga Khan Education Services Pakistan (AKESP). Hashoo Foundation pays for their tuition fees and provides them with books, shoes, stationery and a uniform. The same model applies to the region of Rawalpindi.

Scholarship
The Hashoo Foundation scholarship program identifies talented students who cannot afford to attend university, and supports them throughout their studies. This support enables the students to break the poverty cycle and access better opportunities. The scholarship program strives to develop ownership and a sense of responsibility amongst its beneficiaries. As per new policy, initiated during the reporting period, scholars are asked to contribute to the program, once they are gainfully employed after completing their studies. This also creates sustainability for the program, which will be able to achieve self-support in the future.

Real Medicine Foundation - Hashoo Foundation Health Care Project

The RMF-HF Health Care Project resulted from a partnership between Real Medicine Foundation USA and Hashoo Foundation in mid-January 2006. A formalized RMF-HF Health Care Unit was established in Shohal Moizullah in February 2006. This health unit employs a full time MBBS doctor, a medical technician, two LHVs and a dispenser. The health unit is equipped with a complete range of medical equipments, including a nebuliser, glucometer, deep freezer/refrigerator (for medicines and vaccines), an oxygen gas cylinder, a complete ENT diagnostic set, and a well-equipped room for examining gynecological cases. The health unit is also furnished with two room coolers, heaters, and an electric power generator to face drastic weather conditions. In December 2006, considering the catchment area size, the health unit was shifted from Jabri, Shohal Moizullah to UC Talhata where a larger population could be served. The most common health problems in the area include Acute Respiratory Infections (ARIs), diarrhea diseases, infectious diseases, gastric diseases, gynecological diseases, skin infections and cardio vascular diseases. The health unit is regularly supplied with IV drips, IV antibiotics, IV sets, oral re-hydration salts, anti-hypertensive, oral antibiotics, antipyretics, analgesics, examination gloves and masks, and vitamins. As the terrain is extremely difficult, a jeep has been modified as an ambulance. This vehicle can easily access remote places, transporting referred patients to secondary and tertiary care units in neighboring larger cities and towns. From July 01, 2008 to June 30, 2009, more than 23,000 patients were diagnosed and treated at the HF-RMF Health Unit Talhatta. During the annual review, the figures show that the patients visiting the unit consist of 55 % male, 45 % female and 18 % children. The morbidity, progress and financial reports for Talhatta Health unit are regularly shared with RMF and all the relevant stake holders.

Hashoo Medical Centre Eid gah road Gwadar Baluchistan

Supported by the Hashoo Group, and under the administration of Zaver Pearl Continental Hotel Gwadar (ZPCG), a well equipped medical facility with sufficient medical supplies is fully operational since September 2007. This medical center also has the facility of an ambulance and transports referred patients to secondary and tertiary care facilities in neighboring larger cities and towns. The majority of the population in Gwadar district has no access to basic health care. Most of the people have had no medical check-ups since childhood and health promotion and prevention campaigns are almost nonexistent. Infectious diseases are still the most common health problems due to lack of awareness and preventive measures. Hashoo Medical Center (HMC) contains two beds and besides regular OPD, retains only emergency cases. Hashoo Foundation established the primary health unit on September 10 th 2007. This center employs a full time MBBS doctor, a medical technician, one female nurse and a dispenser.

Spinal Cord
Injury Spinal Cord Injury Project for Pakistan
Earthquake Rehabilitation (SCIPPER), Pakistan
Dr. Zeba Vanek (a movement disorder neurologist at UCLA), Dr. Sofia Janjua, (an interventional neurologist) and Ms. Susan Escueta (an epidemiologist) visited Pakistan in December 2005, to join the relief effort following the earthquake. On returning to the USA, they worked to increase awareness about the plight of spinal cord injuries (SCI) survivors among the international community. SCI patients' need for constant care further disables the family since the caregiver cannot earn an income, take care of the children and home, or attend school. All this greatly exacerbates families' already strained conditions. In 2005, Hashoo Foundation prepared a plan to initiate a sponsorship program. In this pilot program, 10 vulnerable SCI patients were identified and their detailed medical and psychosocial history was prepared by Hashoo Foundation. These cases were presented by Dr. Vanek to friends, colleagues and schoolchildren in the USA, who very generously came forward to sponsor these patients monthly. Privately raised sponsorship funds for SCI victims are alleviating the economic strain on the families. The Spinal Cord Injury Project for Pakistan Earthquake Rehabilitation (SCIPPER) Hashoo Foundation (HF) Sponsorship Program aims at providing services to spinal cord injury (SCI) patients with educational and vocational training, peer-counseling, caregiver services, mobility equipments (wheelchair, canes) and bladder care supplies like catheters. It gives them the opportunity to learn daily skills that will help them achieve maximum autonomy in their lives. This financial assistance is spent on basic necessities i.e. hiring a caregiver, medications education and training. Further funds are being raised to build disabled-friendly homes for the SCI patients, who are still either living in mountain tent homes or in distant urban facilities. Now 33 SCI sponsored patients are visited each month and received monthly financial assistance. Hashoo Foundation also received 6,000 pounds from HF UK for construction of a disabled friendly home for SCI patient, Mian Rafiq.

CED for Women Beekeepers Objectives:

Increase the total number of women beekeepers in the target communities of Northern Pakistan, including Gilgit, Chitral, Kaghan, Azad Jamu and Kashmir (AJK). Develop an integrated model of Credit and Enterprise Development (CED), establishing improved techniques in honey production which will translate into long-term business sustainability for the beneficiaries of the project. Future goals include the promotion and replication of this model in other regions of Pakistan and the world. Facilitate CED site visits for UST MCP OMF, and MFI UH students, during which time they may , work alongside the women beekeepers in their respective communities and actively participate in the delivery of the project.

Credit and Enterprise Development (CED) for Women Beekeepers of Northern Pakistan
Background and Objectives
Building upon Chairperson Sarah Hashwani's vision for Women Empowerment through Honeybee Farming- Plan Bee- Hashoo Foundation (HF) has established the Credit and Enterprise Development (CED) program to facilitate the allocation of loans provided by university students for new women beekeepers. Hashoo Foundation USA, under the leadership of Cristal Montaz Baylor, Executive Director, established partnerships with the University of St. Thomas Micro Credit Program (UST MCP), Owl Micro Finance (OMF a non- profit organization run by students from Rice University), and the MicroFinance Initiative at the University of Houston (MFI UH) to support the expansion of the Women Empowerment through Honey Bee Farming Project - Plan Bee- in terms of scale as well as geographic coverage. UST MCP OMF and MFI UH committed to provide a revolving fund for microloans and Hashoo , Foundation will implement CED for Women Beekeepers according to the specified criteria, conduct baseline surveys to identify beneficiaries, provide loans based on the Group Lending Methodology (GLM) similar to a hybrid of Grameen Bank and BRAC models of Bangladesh, and provide in-kind and technical support through its regional offices in Gilgit and Chitral. The ultimate goal project is to provide a long term, sustainable micro loans through a revolving fund to women headed households. The project will organize and mobilize communities into workable cluster based groups, increase outreach and productivity, provide training in bee farming to ensure delivery of high-quality honey, improve processing facilities and related infrastructure, and facilitate market linkages for the sale of honey at higher competitive prices. Every microloan beneficiary will receive training in beekeeping, five (5) beehives, necessary equipment to initiate her enterprise and access to lucrative markets. This model will enable UST MCP OMF and MFI UH students to learn institutional mechanisms for , socio-economic development by using microcredit as a poverty-alleviation tool. As a result of this project, the rural women beneficiaries will gain a sense of social and economic empowerment, increase the productive assets of their households, and support their children's education-related expenses at high-quality schools.

The women for the CED program will be selected on the basis of baseline surveys undertaken by Hashoo Foundation. Providing a solid base with a revolving fund will help extend/replicate outreach of the program on a continual basis (with loan loss provision of 5 to 10% borrowers) through improved technological support, community mobilization, marketing linkages and networking resulting in higher production of quality honey supplemented with consistent sales through outlets inland as well as overseas whenever and wherever possible.
