NGO in Pakistan is looking for your support

Kisan Bard Pakistan Environmental Department is an organization based in Lahore, Pakistan,  whose focus is on tree plantation, promoting renewable energy such as solar and bio gas, and doing solid waste management. They aim to generate awareness on the importance of protecting nature and sustainable lifestyles.

When they heard about the Earth Charter, they got excited because the values contained in this document resonated with the values and principles they are promoting. In this sense, they have been getting more and more involved in the Earth Charter Initiative.

 According to Abdul Aleem, project coordinator of Kisan Bard Pakistan, they are continually organizing tree plantation and environmental education campaigns especially in schools.  But, they want to do more, and so they need help.

There are two projects that they would like to carry out in Pakistan:

1. A Cycle rally called: “We Can Change Our Climate, Love Environment, and Love Trees”. The purpose of this rally will be to to create awareness about Global Warming through Tree plantation.  It will start from District Bahawalpur Lal Sohanra National Park (Punjab) to China border Gilgit, step by step approx (15-to-20 steps). The rally will start with a tree plantation and after completing all the steps, the activity will close with another tree plantation.   At least 5000 Trees will be planted during rally.

2. Print and distribute posters with environmental messages in Bus Terminals, College/University, Cory door and Canteen, Hostels, Railway stations, Hotels, Hospitals etc. The poster has been already designed; they just need help with printing.  The message is in English & Urdu.

For more information, and if you think you can support in any way their projects, please contact Abdul Aleem,  abdulaleem.kbp@gmail.com

We are looking for guidance on how to implement a bio gas and solid waste management, tree growth and possibly building a small damn. A well has been provided and the community I refer to now need to go to the next stage.

this community is based in Nakband, about 25 miles from Kohat on the road to Rawalpindi. We are prepared to assist with the costing of this project but need guidance on how to go forward and implement our plans. If you could help or make a suggestion of the direction I need to look at, then please email me on ymcculloch@live.co.uk
Many thanks for any help you are able to provide.
Mr O. Qureshi

Hello and thanks for your comment. I have a suggestion for you: there is a website called 1%Club, which gives the service of connecting people who have a project like you, with other who can contribute with knowledge to make your project possible.
So, why don't you register your project in this website and connect with experts in waste management and reforestation?
This is the site: http://www.1procentclub.n l/

Renewable Energy Society of Pakistan (RESEARCH) Request for Technical Cooperation
Generally introducing Renewable Energy Society for Education, Awareness, Research & Community Help (RESEARCH) is a not for profit organization working in calibration with Alternative Energy Development Board (A.E.D.B) of Pakistan with a commitment to minimize national dependence on conventional resource of energy and to promote renewable and environment friendly resource of energy in the country
However unrevealing the visionary objectives and program of the formation of society; the Renewable Energy Society was carefully planned to break the awareness barrier in the country about alternative resources of energy. The first three letters of Society name i.e. RESEARCH reflects the name (Renewable Energy Society) while the last five letters RESEARCH describes the actual methodology of the targets to be achieved through Education, Awareness, Research & Community Help.
Today as a Renewable Energy Society we are technically tagged with global energy stakeholders and activities and committed for the prosperity and wellbeing of R.E industry in the country. On the other hand through education, awareness, research and community help we are socially present on gross root level, as the community is the heart and soul of R.E Industry and people in Pakistan.
Today we are technically, socially and practically present in the country at gross root level and “Renewable Energy” is no more illegible name in the country. We are the only Renewable Energy Body in world, working on education, awareness, research and emphasizing on community help. We also have the privilege to be the first to accordingly act on all Social and Technical issues in the country.
“RESEARCH” as relief agency is present everywhere in the country to help flood victims in Pakistan , we through our partner NGOs and civil society segments are present in KPK, Punjab, Baluchistan and Sindh. The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Chief Minister of Punjab and other high profile dignitaries of the country have visited and acknowledged our flood relief facilities in Pakistan, while on technical side our first Technical Institute On R.E will shortly be inaugurated in Rawalpindi and our official website www.research.org.pk has the honor to be the most viewed energy website of the country.
We have done our job under limited resources and now we are looking forward to your world esteemed name to lead us and uplift our profile by Building our Organizational and institutional Capacity to serve the mankind more effectively
