The Association for the Development of Pakistan (ADP) is a volunteer-driven organization that funds small-scale development projects in Pakistan. Through rigorous evaluation and monitoring, ADP supports local NGO initiatives focused on education, health, economic empowerment, and energy that are likely to have significant and sustainable social impact. ADP connects highly educated volunteers with local non-profits to identify promising projects, conduct due diligence, and monitor outcomes. The goal is to empower volunteers while addressing basic needs and lack of access to amenities for millions in Pakistan.

ADP is an organization that first comprised of just volunteers and project teams. We partner to expand the network and advance our mission by working with individuals across various companies (investing and non-investing backgrounds), universities and a network of local and national nonprofits. Size is key factor in the value and effectiveness of a network. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
