ABSTRACT:
Child Care Foundation of Pakistan (CCF) was faced with the task of continuing the work of its International Labour Organization (ILO) funded schools after the project came to an end in April 2003. Nasim Ahmed, CEO, had to decide on ways to sustain these schools and to generate funds. His decision could have implications, not only on the working of CCF, but also for other such project-funded schools. CCF, a non-profit, non-government organization, was set up with public-private partnership in 1996 to adopt a comprehensive approach to solve the problem of child labour in Pakistan and to rehabilitate children engaged in such labour. Its mandate was to develop a multi-pronged strategy in collaboration with donor agencies, employee organizations, trade unions, concerned citizens and relevant industries to ensure the prevention and elimination of all forms of child labour in Pakistan. The case discusses the importance of sustainability for NGO funded projects, an issue faced by many NGOs in Pakistan. It also looks at fundraising issues.
