Charity begins with the inward recognition of a need to show compassion to others whether consciously or unconsciously, same is the case with the people of Pakistan, they never back off when it comes to helping others. The culture of charity giving in Pakistan is always laid emphasis upon, but the problem here is to build an authentic platform which serves as a communication channel between the d...

Sahulat App - A Pakistan-focused Integrated System Connecting Citizens and Governing Bodies:

Reporting domestic and municipal issues has never been easy for the citizens of Pakistan. They have to undergo a long procedure to report problems such as waste disposal, sewage leaks, short water supply, etc. Even though some bodies accept complaints via call, there is no guarantee that reported issues are taken seriously. Most of the complaints go unanswered and unresolved because of lack of go...
