Introduction
District Mardan
is geographically, economically and politically an important region of
North West Frontier Province of Pakistan. While there are some new
developments taking place for the uplift of the district, it is still
way behind other regions. The main reasons are lack of investment in
the past, poverty, lack of education, lack of mass awareness and some
other social reasons.
Mardan Foundation (MF)–The initiative was
taken back in 2003 by a group of like minded volunteers from Mardan.
Some are based in Mardan while others are living outside the region.
They realised that there was a dire need for the uplift of the entire
district. The Foundation will work in every field of life in Mardan,
where majority of the people live below the poverty line.
The initial work was done through a website www.mardan.com.
This was used for mass awareness and was quite helpful in raising the
team for Mardan Foundation. In year 2008, the organisation was
officially registered with the department of Social Welfare. The work
of the Foundation is run, managed and overseen by a group of highly
qualified professionals from different walks of life.
