► SOS
• Founded: 1980s
• SOS runs the Rural Support Program(RSP) as well as the Herman Gmeiner Schools (HGS) to cater to
different segments of the population. It functions across 13 cities in Punjab, AJK and Baluchistan. It currently
reaches out to approximately 10,000 students
• Financial Sustainability: SOS charges fees to cover its operating costs, making the schools self sufficient.
While for RSP schools these may fall between PKR 400-500, for HGS these can go up to PKR 1,200
• Quality: 100% of teachers in HGS and 90% in RSP schools have BA degrees or above. 87% students
received 1st division in Matric from the Sindh Chapter. Attendance rates are close to 90% for both students
and teachers and survival rates to secondary school are also high
• [Detailed point of view on all interventions employed in education are present in the Appendix]

- 35. A. Water Intervention Models 35 SOLUTION BENEFITS SUITABALITY CONCERNS PARTNER Hand pumps Can reach a large number of beneficiaries (though not more than 200 per pump) Low cost per beneficiary Minimum maintenance and repair required Simple technology Water fit for drinking purposes is available at a maximum of 100 feet No drainage/contamination issues are prevalent Community is comfortable and familiar with hand pumps Water must only be for household consumption and not for agricultural purposes Hand pumps will last no more than 5-7 years (depending on maintenance, weather conditions etc) Can be affected by natural disasters like floods Can fall into disrepair if not properly maintained most recent ADP project: PRDS Water filtration plants Model can be specified depending on the particular type of contamination present High number of beneficiaries can be reached Constant water supply is already available A safe place must exist for the installation of the filtration plants (e.g school/office building) Maintenance and repair Community involvement Complicated technology and unsuitable for remote villages most recent ADP project: BDS Rainwater harvesting Communities with very little access to water can get water almost all year round Rainwater harvesting structures (ponds) can last a life time Very little maintenance/repair is required Needs of the entire village can be met suitable in desert areas or in some cases, in mountainous areas access to clean drinking water is difficult drought ridden areas Dependence on rainfall Risk of contamination (proper use of filters) Cost per beneficiary is high as compared to other ADP projects most recent ADP project: SF Solar pump on existing dug wells Needs of the entire village can be met Depends on solar energy (no energy costs associated with the project Solar pump can last for 20 years with minimal maintenance and repair (hardly any costs associated with this) Storage tank helps store water for when pump does not work Areas where dug wells are present and clean drinking water is available below 200-250 feet An area where there is sufficient sunlight Water in the wells must be clean Source of water must be enough to meet the needs of the entire village Cost per beneficiary is high (AWARE)
- 36. B. Education Intervention Models 36 SOLUTION BENEFITS SUITABALITY CONCERNS PARTNER LCPS Targets marginalized communities Affordable education (PKR <500/month) Addresses critical gaps of demand and supply in education. Often offers the only educational opportunity to low income communities Many LCPS focus heavily on female education, Students are more likely to complete education due to affordability Families which can afford fee structures of PKR <500/month or less Operating costs are often not covered through tuition fees, making some NGOs donor dependent. Educational quality is often sacrificed The best teachers cannot be hired and teacher training becomes costly Educational outcomes are often lower most recent ADP project: Bunyad, APS High cost, higher quality Families which can afford fee structures of PKR 1000- 15000 Financially sustainable model (opex covered through tuition fees). Often hire the best teachers (with B.A degrees or above) and provide regular teacher training Learning outcomes are high and often match those of excellent institutions in the country. This means bringing low-income groups at power with higher-income students and giving them access to similar opportunities and social mobility Presence of lower middle class families Education is at risk of becoming unaffordable if tuition fees keep rising to cover OPEX. Lower-income families cannot afford the education or may choose to put one child in school (often the male child). The audience targeted may not be the one in the most marginalized conditions most recent ADP project: MHSF Public-private partnership Public sector role in education The funding is from the public sector, the quality is of private sector level. Improves quality of education in government schools Red tape; delays in approvals Teacher tenure means they cannot be held accountable NGOs often have minimal say in decision making thereby making their role insignificant in some areas most recent ADP project: PEN/FDO Informal schools Can target marginalized communities, especially victims of terrorism, refugees and other vulnerable communities who have been displaced Problems with standardization and structure Difficulty with M&E PKSS
