About us

Who we are?

Our journey started in 2015 with one simple obligation i.e., "We Must".

📍 Founded: 2021
📍 Legal Status: Registered NPO under Section 42, Companies Act 2017 (SECP – Pakistan)

The Skills Improvement Foundation (SIF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to economic empowerment, skills development, and poverty alleviation across Pakistan. We believe that sustainable change begins when individuals are equipped to transform their own lives. We invest in long-term capacity building that fosters dignity, independence, and social change.

Why We Exist?

Pakistan’s youth bulge is a challenge—and an opportunity. Millions of educated youth remain unemployed or under-skilled. Women, especially in rural areas, remain economically excluded.

64% of Pakistan’s population is youth—many lack skills and job access
Women face exclusion from financial independence and business networks
SIF bridges these gaps with programs that drive self-reliance and economic inclusion

SIF delivers grassroots, scalable solutions that empower vulnerable communities to become productive and thriving contributors to society.

Impact Statement

Our work fosters dignity, self-reliance, and inclusive growth transforming lives and communities from the ground up.

We are building a future where no one is left behind. By equipping youth and women from underserved communities with the skills, mindset, and leadership tools they need to succeed, we unlock individual potential and drive collective progress.
