Amozgah

Amozgah has gradually evolved as a unique space of integrating the learning and livelihood especially in the least developed and economically deprived community. It is an offshoot of IDSP-Pakistan innovative project “Breaking the Poverty Cycle – empowering of Adolescent Girls and Boys to become Agents of Social Transformation” with the support of UNESCO in September 2002. The projects’s primary goal was to generate a process of improvement in poor livelihoods, by targeting poor adolescent girls, through broad based activities as well as through advocacy for favorable policy.
Ms. Marzia Barat showed outstanding leadership for sustaining Amozgah Center through her close and sincere relationship with local community and other stakeholders and currently the Amozgah center is working on basic literacy and skills courses in collaboration with IDSP.
