HCR Foundation Pakistan is amplifying voices in Pakistan as it seeks to empower communities and increase participation to bring about transformation. We honour the communities we work with by handing over the microphone to community members. We trust local people will bring change in their lives as we promote dialogue, peace and love among communities of all faiths.
We want to see communities live in peace and a spirit of forgiveness, respecting the rights of others especially women and children.
We want to see communities flourish and live healthy lives (physical, mental and spiritual)
We want to see people, who were once marginalized, engaging in society and becoming voice for those who are still not heard.
HCR Foundation provides equipment, training and mentoring to the Bright Home Projects in Sargodha, Nowshera and Sakkar Rohri. Bright Home projects support communities to provide vocational skill classes for women and girls, and to work together on local public health developments. Groups listen to Speakerbox programmes alongside classes, and as they grow in confidence they start making Speakerbox programmes of their own. In some places these programmes are also aired on local FM stations so that even more communities can benefit.
HCR Foundation’s AViD (Amplifying Voices in Disaster) supported marginalised communities to respond to floods near Nowshera in 2022, near Bakkar Rohri in 2023 and near Sargodha in 2025.

HCR first started working in Pakistan in 2006, when HCR founder, Dr Ross James from Australia worked alongside HCR Foundation Pakistan's founder, Mr Hazeen Latif to assist those affected by 2005 earthquake in Muzaffarabad (AJK). They helped local partners to design FM radio programs to support communities recovering from the earthquake.
