Our Services
At Mehnat-Kaar, we are driven at our heart by the concept of Human Investment, or Human Capital Investment, both in Pakistan and globally. We not only offer expert consultancy services and tailor-made training programs for businesses and individuals, but we are also deeply committed to the support, delivery, and design of humanitarian projects, youth empowerment projects, and research and innovation projects. Without Human Investment, there is no future, and we have years of experience working across all aspects of the humanitarian development sector including offering consultancy and training services, project management, and full project delivery services.
Humanitarian Development Sector
Mehnat-Kaar offers full humanitarian project cycle management using our professional and consultancy expertise to support NGOs and INGOs in humanitarian aid and development project delivery within Pakistan and internationally. We deliver low-cost engineering projects alongside related consultancy and training services including working with organizations such as Engineering for Change. We are dedicated to using our expertise and experience to support, develop, and deliver essential social engineering projects, vernacular structures, and the local building culture for humanitarian aid purposes.
In emergency situations, access to clean water and shelter are critical to both immediate survival and the long-term recovery of affected regions. Mehnat-Kaar has a long history of delivering shelter and housing projects along with emergency and recovery WASH (Water Sanitation and Hygiene) projects and community infrastructure recovery and development projects. Our involvement in humanitarian disaster relief also extends to DRR (Disaster Risk Reduction) as well as humanitarian coordination for short, medium, and long-term recovery projects. Knowledge and experience are meant to be shared and we use our extensive experience in emergency, disaster and humanitarian aid relief and management to offer training and consultancy services for NGOs, INGOs and other organisations beyond our own humanitarian development sector activities.
Youth Empowerment
Our youth are our future and at Mehnat-Kaar we believe in supporting our youth to overcome structural and systemic barriers to education and employment and reach their full potential. To improve educational outcomes for all students, we have facilitated specialist teacher professional development through in-school training services. Student well-being is essential to obtaining a quality education and to support this we have developed student and parent counselling services that are available to schools. Youth in regional areas face complex barriers to education and employment. Our MARHI project has been running in a rural area of Pakistan since 2017 and offers free as well as paid, certified training programs in digital skills development in fields suitable for digital freelancing work alongside market links development. These certified training programs can then be applied in emerging global digital industries such as digital freelancing and digital retail through Amazon, eBay, and Shopify. We have also developed youth co-working opportunities to help young people turn training into work.
Research and Innovation
The Mehnat-Kaar teams have extensive expertise across a diverse range of fields and industries. Research and innovation are core services that we offer through our own humanitarian aid projects and in a consultancy capacity for NGOs, INGOs, and other organizations. We have gathered a highly experienced team to lead our Research and Innovation group with doctorates, and teaching and research experience from across the globe. The right help at the right time is crucial for the successful delivery of humanitarian projects and we understand how important it is to help organizations help others. Our research and innovation services include project design and evaluation, impact analysis, field research and survey, data analysis as well as pure and applied research which combined improve outcomes for humanitarian development projects, NGOs, INGOs, and other humanitarian aid organizations, and their recipients. At Mehnat-Kaar, our Research and Innovation team is dedicated to creating the solutions for tomorrow and helping the humanitarian development sector deliver a safer future for everyone.
