The Hunar Foundation was established by a group of successful businessmen and professionals to provide vocational training programs. It operates several technical institutes that offer internationally recognized certifications in trades like refrigeration, plumbing, welding, and electrical installation. The foundation works with industry partners who employ its graduates. Donors can sponsor individual students or classes, and support capital expenditures like building new workshops or institutes. The goal is to address Pakistan's skills shortage by training the literate, semi-literate, and motivated illiterate.
