21. ADP’s Approach: Smart Giving
Private Sector
Public Sector
Educate Society
Evaluate private sector players and create
awareness around the strengths and weaknesses of
various models.
Strengthen Promising Players
• Rigorously select and partner with the most
promising, smaller non-profits to help them scale,
both through financial and non-financial
assistance.
Create informed citizens who understand the need
to reform the public education system and the
actions required to achieve it.
• Make resources available to any school operator
(non-profit or for-profit) looking to improve their
operations; including lesson plans, teacher
training resources, assessment tools and other
best practices.

25. Diverse Models
ADP is working to identify the most promising solutions for different segments of need.
Low Cost Private Schools (LCPS): These schools often deliver better quality education than government schools at a lower cost (< Rs. 500 per
month). ADP partners like Bunyad Literacy Community Council (BLCC) and Amir Public School (APS) fall in this category.
Higher cost, higher quality schools: Schools like those in the MHSF network charge relatively higher tuition fees (approximately Rs. 1,000-1,500)
but on average perform better than lower cost public and private options. All teachers hold B.A degrees and receive one full year of teacher training.
This is often a good model to deliver high quality education to the lower middle classes.
Informal schools: Informal schools can be a good solution for nomadic populations such as those residing in katchi abadis (slums). In 2012, ADP
funded the Pehli Kiran School System (PKSS), its first informal schooling partner.
Public-private partnerships: We are evaluating models for private sector collaboration that can deliver better returns on the government’s education
spending. This ranges from models where the government provides funding to a private school (e.g. through the Punjab Education Foundation) to
organizations like PEN, that provide additional services and staff at government schools to improve their quality.
25
26. Current Partners
The JAQ Trust undertakes two distinct kinds of activities:
(i) non-formal community based education through the Pehli
Kiran Schools (PKSS), which constitute over 95% of its
operations; and (ii) educational scholarships to support
continuing education of students beyond primary school,
essentially in the formal school system.
Founded in 1996
Location: Islamabad
# of students:1,307
Cost/Student: Rs. 252/month
The M.H Sufi Foundation has established eleven schools
in Hafizabad, a rural district in Punjab with little access to
quality education and a population of over 1 million.
Founded in 1994
Location: Hafizabad District, Punjab
# of students: 4,400
Cost/Student: Rs. 1,473/month
The Amir Public School model, operated by Nia
Ujala aims to provide quality education to facilitate
students to have an equal opportunity and develop to
their full potential. The school has been running for the
last thirty years and all education related facilities are
provided free of cost to the children. Special emphasis is
given to girls education, which is often sidelined in the
area.
Founded in 1980
Location: Gujrawala District, Punjab
# of students: 230
Cost/Student: Rs. 432/month
The SOS Rural Support Program emphasizes upon Education,
Livelihood Enhancement and Protection, Human and Institutional
Development, Physical Infrastructure and Social Mobilization. It has set up
some of the only girls schools in the area, increasing female enrolment by a
substantial amount.
Founded in 1990
Location: Kasur, Punjab
# of students: 2650

28. Pakistan: The Big Picture
► The majority of Pakistanis (64%) do not have water piped into their premises
•
Most rely on wells, hand pumps or collecting surface water
► 88% of the functional water supply schemes in Pakistan provide water that is unsafe for
drinking because of microbiological contamination
► Millions of labor hours are spent in collecting water, particularly by women and children
► Children are especially vulnerable: 90% of the deaths that occur from unsafe water and
unhygienic living conditions are in children under five years old*1
► WASH related diseases alone cost the economy about PKR 112 billion (US$ 1Bn) per year in
terms of health costs and lost earnings*2
*1 Facts and Figures, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Links to Health, WHO.
*2 Pakistan Water Sector Strategy. Water Sector Profile. Volume 5. Government of Pakistan. Ministry of Water and Power (October 2012)
28
29. ADP: When do we step in?
• Lack of Access
• Water source is at a considerable distance from the community
• Women and children spend a significant amount of their time collecting water
• Contamination:
• Community is drinking water from a polluted/contaminated source
• Lack of Access and Contamination
• Combination of both issues mentioned above
• Health issues arising from water/sanitation (WASH) related diseases
• Community, NGOs or nearby Health Units report a significant number of diseases resulting from
the lack of access to clean drinking water or from the drinking of water that is unfit for human
consumption.

33. Key Themes/Lessons in Water
• “One size fits all approach does not work”
The right intervention model in any situations needs to reflect local geography, current water sources and
community involvement.
• Community involvement is key to the success of any project/intervention
There are numerous cases we have observed where communities have not accepted NGO water interventions
and projects have fallen into disrepair.
• Access is not enough
Quality of water is a real issue. Water testing has to be a key part of ADP evaluations.
• Water and Sanitation go together
Water borne diseases are often tied to both clean drinking water and better sanitation/hygiene practices. Working
on the two together will improve the impact of ADP’s projects.

34. Current Partners: Water

funds coming from the MH Sufi Foundation.
49
50. Education
Project Name: Secondary School in Natt Kalan
Budget: $17,200
NGO: Bunyad Literacy Community Council (BLCC)
Location: Natt Kalan, Punjab

51. Education
Project Name: Government Boys Middle School, Sadhoki
Budget: $9,606
NGO: Progressive Education Network (PEN)
Location: Sadhoki Village, Punjab
Details: ADP is funding its first project under the umbrella
of the public-private partnership model. PEN works to
improve academic quality in government schools by
adopting selected public schools for a ten year time
period. Currently, Government Boys Middle School,
Sadhoki is facing a severe shortage of classrooms, which
means that it repeatedly has to turn away new admissions.
Existing students are studying in unfavorable conditions in
the verandah, struggling to learn. The government is
unable to provide funding for the expansion and thus ADP
is playing a critical role in filling in the gap by supporting
the construction of two additional classrooms.
52. Energy
Project Name: Micro Hydro Power Project
Budget: $10,000
NGO: Sustainable Development Organization
Location: Village Phullawai, Neelum District, Azad
Kashmir
Details: ADP is partnering with the Sustainable
Development Organization (SDO) to rehabilitate a
micro hydropower project in Union Council Phullawai
of Kashmir’s Neelum District. ADP funding is
supporting the provision of electricity for over 200
households (6,000 individuals). The project will also
aid in reduction of deforestation in the area as the
residents are currently dependent on firewood for
lighting their houses. Additionally, this project will
establish a Village Development Committee and
encourage collaboration, community participation and
knowledge sharing in the area.

53. Water
Project Name: Rainwater Harvesting
Budget: $20,000
NGO: Sukaar Foundation (SF)
Location: Village Dhabi Bheel, Tharparkar, Sindh
Details: ADP is funding its first Rainwater Harvesting (RWH)
project in Dhabi Bheel, Sindh. RWH structures collect and store
rainwater for later usage with ponds being one of the most
effective and commonly used RWH structures in the area. For
the purposes of this project, ADP is supporting the construction
of one village level and 70 household level ponds. The larger
village-level pond can store approximately 1 million liters of
water while the smaller household-level ponds have a storage
capacity of 8,000 liters water each.
Dhabi Bheel is a small village consisting of 160 households (951
individuals) and villagers have to walk 4-5 kilometers (a 90
minute walk) to get to the nearest source of water. In addition,
the existing village wells have a high concentration of salts and
minerals making the water unsuitable for drinking.

54. Health
Project Name: Diagnostic equipment for an Eye
Hospital
Budget: $10,165
NGO: Jannat Aziz Trust (JAT)
Location: Burewala, Vehari, Punjab
Details: ADP funded the purchase of ophthalmic
equipment at the JAT Eye Hospital in Burewala in early,
2013. Aimed at strengthening the diagnostics
department at the hospital, ADP funds were channeled
for the procurement of a B-scan machine used for
ultrasonography. This machine is an important tool for
the clinical assessment of various ocular and orbital
diseases and assists in the diagnosis and treatment of
diabetic, hypertensive and complicated cataract cases.
The goal is to have patients treated at the Hospital
instead of having to refer them to facilities in Lahore and
Multan.

Budget: $20,000
NGO: Children’s Cancer Foundation (CCF)
Location: Karachi, Sindh
Details: ADP is funding new ER and Daycare equipment
at the Children’s Cancer Hospital in Karachi. The new
equipment will help meet rising patient demand and
improve the quality of medical care provided at the ER
and the Daycare. We expect the equipment investment to
pay dividends in terms of improving the quality of care
and overall effectiveness at providing low-cost quality
treatment to the disadvantaged. The upgrades to the
equipment will allow current workload to reduce and
allow the hospital to provide conclusive care to the 25-30
patients who visit the Emergency Room daily, 80-90 in
outpatient and 50-60 children who come to the Daycare
for Chemotherapy and other procedures.
