About

The Wadaan Foundation (previously Nasr Foundation) is a not for profit company set up under Section 42 of the Companies Ordinance, Pakistan's primary corporate law. The Foundation seeks to improve the lives of Pakistanis by removing the obstacles that impede them from achieving their full potential as individuals.

The Wadaan Foundation (previously Nasr Foundation) is the first successor organization to the Saifullah Foundation for Sustainable Development. It embodies the institutionalization of the Saifullah Khan family's eight decades of public service. The Foundation steps in where Government service delivery has been very poor or non-existent.

The Foundation delivers maximum impact by focusing on the following areas:

  • Health
  • Education
  • Physical and Social Infrastructure
  • Economic Opportunity






We limit the areas we focus on because we think this gives us the best chance to make a greater impact. We have chosen our areas of intervention because we think these are the biggest barriers to people making the most of their lives.

We are eager and ready to learn. We try and learn from our mistakes. Success is measured by our ability to help improve lives, expand opportunities and help communities flourish across a dynamic and developing Pakistan.

Where We Work

Created in 1901, the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) marked the border between British India and Afghanistan and later between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The NWFP was home to the Pashtuns, the world’s largest tribal society and was divided into administrative units called Districts. Bannu district was one of the southern most districts of the province, and Lakki Marwat was a tehsil (smaller unit) of Bannu district. In 1992 Lakki Marwat became a district itself. The NWFP is today known as the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.

We focus on under developed areas of Pakistan in general, with emphasis on the southern districts of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa province in particular. At Wadaan Foundation (previously Nasr Foundation) we believe in developing the skills and providing the opportunities to the people from under developed areas of our country, hence enabling them to reach their full potential in becoming contributing members of society.
