Sindh
Agricultural and Forestry Workers Coordinating Organization
(Safwco), started its developmental journey from a small initiative,
launched in 1986 by a group of five social activists led by
Mr. Suleman G. Abro. Concerned about depleting sources of
livelihood and employment, increasing poverty and social deprivation
in rural Sindh and propelled by its own vision of sustainable,
equitable and just society, Safwco initiated a process of
social mobilization in District Sanghar initially. It was
apparent at that time that there will be no effective grass
roots development and real improvement in living standards
of the poor, without an integrated development initiative
focused at targeting development initiative focused at targeting
poverty from different aspects. From beginning, social mobilization
has been a key aspect of Safwco's development strategy. Safwco
started its activities with an objective to facilitate people's
participation in development on self help basis; and facilitating
to build institutional infrastructure in their villages to
achieve the goal of sustainable development.
SAFWCO
believes in institutional building at grass roots level to
support in bringing social change in the society. Hence a
common platform that is created and owned by the poor is a
pre-requisite through which the poor can make themselves count
in the development process. It has made social mobilization
as core activity and entry point followed by different development
interventions including social and physical service delivery
projects, coordinating and networking while emphasizing on
gender balance and good governance. The main aim of the program
is to mainstream rural poor into socio-economic development
and reduce their vulnerability.
