Hashoo Hunar Association (HH) is the result of Hashoo Foundation’s 30 years Skills Development Program. With the success and expansion of this multifaceted skills program there was an extraordinary demand to establish a dedicated center of training and learning under the Hashoo brand. Thus, Hashoo Hunar was established under section 42 of Companies Act 2017 as a specialized training service provider working on a ‘not-for-profit’ basis.
Historically, HF has worked in the Environment, Climate Change and Socio-economic development thematic approaches under the global Millenium Development Goals (MDGs). In response to the changing context and new learning at global and national levels, HF has aligned itself with the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
