Empowering Vulnerable Communities and Preserving Natural Resources Since 1993 – Sindhica Reforms Society
The Sindhica Reforms Society (SRS) is a non-profit, nonsectarian, indigenous environmental organization based in Sindh, Pakistan, operating since 1993. Accredited by the UN Environment Programme and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), SRS hosts the GEF CSO Global Secretariat and serves as the Regional Focal Point for the GEF CSO network in the South regions.
SRS provides services in water, sanitation, hygiene, and environmental conservation, with a focus on protecting flora, fauna, and natural resources. Our primary beneficiaries are vulnerable communities, including women, adolescent girls, children, minorities, Indigenous groups, forest communities, urban slum residents, as well as forests, birds, and animals.
SRS has undertaken numerous successful interventions, social events, and projects across various contexts, gaining national and international recognition. A major milestone is Pakistan’s first Constructed Wetland Module for biological wastewater treatment and recycling in Shaheed Benazirabad. This pilot project, a pioneering model in the country, is widely acclaimed and replicated nationwide, with SRS providing technical support to various national and international organizations.
Collaboration is at the heart of SRS’s approach, working with donors, government agencies, and civil society to empower communities and ensure the attainment of basic human rights.
