Dharti Foundation is developing community-based education access programs for rural children who face barriers to schooling.
Our future programs will draw from years of foundational work done privately in the same communities.
We run Unwind at Gharo, a model rural tourism experience that employs local staff and promotes village culture.
This program creates meaningful jobs for managers, guides, housekeepers, and artisans.
Guests experience local traditions, boosting cultural pride and income for the community.
Training and resources for artisans producing traditional crafts.
Helping craft businesses reach urban and international markets.
Preserving local cultural heritage while generating sustainable income.
Providing microloans, training, and marketing support to small shops in rural towns.
Supporting shop owners with financial literacy, stock management, and product diversification.
Helping families run their businesses more efficiently, improving income and stability.
Before formal operations, our founders supported economic resilience in rural Sindh:
Mentored artisans and helped them sell products locally and online
Supported small shop owners in Tharparkar and Khairpur with stock and basic training
Piloted Unwind at Gharo as a small community-led tourism experiment
This early work shaped Dharti Foundation’s approach to sustainable livelihoods today.
Tier 1
Training and mentoring for 1 artisan or shop owner
Tier 2
Materials and resources for a small craftsmanship business
Tier 3
Support for a full community project like Unwind at Gharo or village shop network
We accept one time donations for projects like solar panelling, books, school repairs, and renovations that the school or library really needs...
