Introduction

1.1 BACK GROUND

Umerkot is the most important historical city of Sindh province. It contributes handsome revenue; nonetheless, the people of this area are socially deprived, having fewer opportunities of good healthcare and education. Two decades back, in 1989, the literate, book lovers and socially active citizens of this historic town grouped together to form an organization for the socio-cultural and economic uplift of the people of this area.

The organization was named as ‘Sami SamajSujagSangat’. The very first initiative in this connection was the foundation of ‘Sami Adabi Library’, named after the Sufi poet of Sindh – Bhai Chen Rai Sami. This educational platform served as the only venue for the education and literary growth of citizens in general and of youth in particular. Starting from a meager number of books, contributed by citizens and members of the organization, this library grew to offer thousands of books, magazines, journals, newspapers etc. on various aspects and subjects. This humble platform enhanced the knowledge base of the citizens of Umerkot and broadened their vision to prove themselves precious part of the society.

The basic strategy in bringing about the desired social change was to raise the awareness among masses with respect to their basic human rights, respect of rights of others, promoting the importance and need of socio-cultural and democratic values in daily life and responsibilities of good citizens in developing commendable society. The encouraging results of this short term effort convinced Sami to invest its maximum efforts and inputs, in terms of integrated and participatory development, to harvest the best of its objectives. Consequently a more focused development organization was realized.

Now it is renamed as ‘SAMI FOUNDATION’ with a widened scope and renewed objectives. The motto of the organization is – “Bringing Change Together” as the organization believes in collective efforts of people from all walks of life for sustainable social change. The organization was registered in 1993 with Social Welfare Department under Voluntary Social Welfare Agencies (Registration & Control) Ordinance 1961. The changing scope of work and area led the organization to get its registration under Societies Act XXI of 1860 and the organization get this registration in June 2013 having its Registration Number 6937. The organization has acquired certification from Pakistan Center for Philanthropy (PCP) through a comprehensive process of evaluation in context of Governance, Programme and Finance and such certification helped organization improve its policies, procedures and systems and develop new programme partnerships with new donor organizations.
