About
Bargad
Bargad is one of Pakistan’s pioneering youth-focused organizations serving for over 27 years and has empowered 500,000+ young people through 100+ projects and 1,200+ youth-led social actions. Bargad has shaped provincial youth policies, and collaborates with 3,500 volunteers, 86 universities, and disadvantaged communities.
In rural areas, elders gather under a Bargad (banyan tree) to resolve conflicts and maintain peace in their communities. In 1997, a group of 25 young people belonging to universities in Punjab, Sindh and ICT got together and started working for youth development. They decided to call it Bargad.
The organization was formally registered under the name of Bargad Society of Human Resources as a non-profit organization in 1998 under the Societies Registration Act 1860 with the Office of the Registrar, Joint Stock Companies, Lahore, Pakistan.
