As one of the few originators of Awami Development Organization (ADO), when I recall the past twenty years, it seems like untreated inspiration which came into conscience after witnessing the vulnerability, marginalization, and disaster proneness of the communities of District Layyah. Initially, the organization emerged as a group of passionate and enthusiastic persons with positive consciences and great zeal to bring a positive developmental change. It took more than four years to rise up as a legal entity in 1996, and since then, the efforts have made this organization a panorama of hope for the victimized and marginalized communities. Now, the geographic outreach has spread around national boundaries. Through this platform, we have achieved a lot and yearn to develop more.
ADO opened debates, functions, and seminars to promote human and political rights with financial support from PPAF, SAP-PK, RDPI, Plan, Aurat Foundation, Solidar, TVO, UNDP, Oxfam, NEF, UNOPS, and IOM.
ADO envisions a democratic, peaceful, and prosperous society that ensures equal development opportunities for the marginalized.
ADO strives for the socio-economic and political development of marginalized communities, especially women, through group formation, capacity building, economic support, and advocacy to ensure development for all.
