WHO WE ARE

INTRODUCTION

We are a national non-profit organization dedicated to empowering communities and creating sustainable opportunities for people across Pakistan. Since its establishment in 2004 in Quetta, TKF has worked to strengthen communities through improved access to healthcare, education, environmental sustainability, community infrastructure, livelihood opportunities, skills development, WASH and food security.

TKF places a strong emphasis on supporting women, children and vulnerable communities, while extending assistance to communities affected by disasters to promote resilience, recovery and long-term self-reliance.

Over the years, TKF has implemented more than 120 projects, reaching over 5 million people, with a portfolio exceeding PKR 7.6 billion (USD 27.5 million). This experience has established TKF as a trusted implementing partner for major international donors and development organizations, with a strong focus on delivering measurable, community-driven impact at the grassroots level.

With operational hubs across the regions where it works, TKF brings strong contextual understanding, local knowledge and established coordination with provincial and district authorities. This enables the organization to design and implement interventions that are responsive to the needs and priorities of local communities.

TKF's areas of expertise extend across both rural and urban settings, with long-term interventions focused on nutrition, skills development, agriculture, climate change adaptation, girls' education, youth empowerment and third-party monitoring, alongside its broader development programming.

OUR HISTORY

Tameer-e-Khalaq Foundation (TKF) was established in 2004 in Quetta with the vision of bringing sustainable and positive change to underserved and vulnerable communities across Pakistan. From its early efforts in community development, TKF has grown into a national organization with extensive experience in both development programming and humanitarian response.

Over the years, TKF has responded to some of Pakistan's major emergencies, providing timely assistance and recovery support to affected communities. Its emergency response has included interventions following the 2005 Earthquake, the 2009 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) crisis, the 2010 Floods, the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2022 Floods and the 2025 Floods.

Through these emergency responses, TKF has provided emergency cash assistance, WASH services, non-food items (NFIs), shelter support, education and livelihood interventions, helping affected communities meet immediate needs while strengthening their capacity to recover and rebuild.

Alongside emergency response, TKF has continued to invest in long-term community development. Its programmes have supported communities through interventions in health and nutrition, education, livelihoods, agriculture, climate change adaptation, skills development, youth empowerment, WASH, food security and community infrastructure.

Today, TKF combines experienced human resources, robust programme and support systems, effective management structures and strong partnerships to deliver high-quality interventions across Pakistan. With more than 120 projects implemented and over 5 million people reached, TKF continues to work towards building communities that are resilient, self-reliant and able to pursue a life of dignity and opportunity.

OUR VISION

A developed, self-reliant, and resilient Pakistan, where everyone has access to all basic human rights without compromise on the basis of gender, religion, or socioeconomic status.

OUR MISSION

To achieve our vision, we endeavour to facilitate the process of social development through an array of services designed to empower the community and economy, through bottom-up integration and a special focus on the gender aspect that is as yet neglected in our society.
