1.   Background

Doaba Foundation is a humanitarian organization, certified by Pakistan Centre of Philanthropy (PCP), working in disaster prone areas with the vision “Disaster prone communities becoming self-reliant in pursuit of their common interests”.

It believes in achieving the goal through optimal utilization of available resources i.e. physical-biological, moral and human.
