key focus areas

Engro Foundation’s major social investments are in education, health, water and sanitation, and other welfare activities. The Foundation’s main geographical areas of focus are communities around our manufacturing sites and supply chains.

health, water & sanitation and infrastructure

Engro Foundation is focused at creating access to basic services (health, water & sanitation, and infrastructure) in rural communities.

Health interventions, especially those focused on women and children, are a priority area of Engro’s community investments. Engro supports numerous health facilities which include general OPD clinics and specialized clinics/centers in snakebite and thalassemia treatment, reproductive and maternal health, eye and kidney diseases.

Only 40% of Pakistan’s population has access to ‘improved’ water sources and 20% have access to some form of sanitation. Engro Foundation is involved in projects aimed at improving basic community infrastructure for drinking water, brick paving, drainage and sanitation.

education

Since lack of education is one of the biggest deterrents to social and economic empowerment, education is another major area of focus of the Foundation.

One such major initiative comprises of adopting government schools in rural communities around our manufacturing sites. Support to these schools from Engro Foundation consists of two aspects: infrastructure investments such as construction and repair of classrooms, boundary walls, bathrooms, provision of furniture, text books, stationary items, and other teaching and learning materials; in addition to provision of teachers and teachers’ training.

welfare and emergency relief activities

Engro Foundation provides support to various non-profit/non-governmental organizations involved in eliminating social problems, promoting local arts and culture, and disaster and emergency relief activities. Such support includes donations in cash and kind.

In case of natural and man made disasters, Engro Foundation seeks to provide cash and in-kind donations to organizations involved in emergency and relief activities.

employee volunteerism


“EnVison” (Engro Volunteers In Service Of the Nation) is the the company-wide initiative to support employee volunteer activities. Through “EnVison”, Engro Foundation provides a platform for all Engro employees to positively impact the communities around them.
