Society for Human Empowerment and Rural Development (SHER)

Pakistan is an underdeveloped country where most of the population is deprived of education, awareness and a quality lifestyle which is their right. In order to make sure that every citizen of the country is getting his basic rights, some people run the NGOs that provide awareness about the basic rights and how to demand them. They also help people in getting the basic rights using their resources and the donations gathered by the local as well as the foreign aid.

Society for Human Empowerment and Rural Development (SHER) was established with the similar vision. The aim was never to make an organization of such a repute and level which it has gained today. Few people from the Mitha Tiwana, District Khushab laid the foundation of this organization for the development of their area. Initially it was a welfare-oriented organization, but later on, keeping in view the emerging trends, it was transformed into a development-oriented organization.
It made people aware about their basic rights and helped them to restore them and live their life with full freedom. They worked in many areas and directions approaching the target audience, gathering them on a platform and creating awareness about the human rights which according to them were education, health and self-respect. The motivated people especially women by engaging them in the activities and building their confidence. They educated them about women safety and how to gain a respectable place in society. They worked for education, vocational training, health issues, social projects, environmental projects and many more. However their work in education is commendable.
