Taaleem Foundation, staying true to its mission of empowering communities, particularly young women, has taken a bold step to foster financial independence and entrepreneurial growth. In partnership with Rehmat Foundation, the organization launched a skills development initiative tailored for women in Jahanian village, providing practical training and exposure to diverse opportunities.
This program offered hybrid learning platforms and arranged a visit to Islamabad’s Lok Virsa, giving participants cultural insights and inspiration for creative business ventures. Training workshops were also held on entrepreneurship, e-commerce, and digital skills to help participants thrive in today’s evolving economy.
As a result, these determined women are now operating a service lab established by Taaleem Foundation in Jahanian City—the first of its kind in the region. Through this platform, they are putting their newly developed skills to work, offering valuable services to the local community and beyond.
On May 3, Ms. Shagufta Noreen, Chief Operating Officer of Taaleem Foundation, visited the lab. She had an in-depth discussion with the women, sharing practical advice on expanding their reach, building stronger community ties, and tapping into new business opportunities. Her encouragement reinforced their drive to scale the project for broader community impact.
This initiative stands as a powerful example of how targeted skill-building programs can change lives. For Taaleem Foundation and Rehmat Foundation, seeing these women turn their training into real opportunities is a proud and transformative achievement.

February 2025 – Taaleem Foundation has proudly revitalized the traditional craft of Kashmiri embroidery, reconnecting artisans from Azad Jammu and Kashmir with their rich cultural heritage and equipping them with sustainable livelihood opportunities.
Across all AJK Skill centers, artisans received intensive training to master intricate Kashmiri embroidery techniques, refine artistic detailing, and modernize color combinations—while preserving the authenticity of this treasured art. On February 13, they proudly completed their first assignment, showcasing their exceptional craftsmanship and earning well-deserved cash incentives. This milestone was celebrated with encouragement from Ms. Noreen, Chief Operating Officer, and Mr. Tahir Malik, Director Skills.
With 50 artisans now empowered and economically uplifted, this initiative not only preserves a once-neglected cultural legacy but also creates a sustainable platform for future growth. Taaleem Foundation remains committed to fostering resilience, heritage, and skill development for lasting impact.
