Can we fund a programme in a particular district?

Yes, tell us where. SIA is headquartered in Quetta, with offices in Lahore and Islamabad and hubs in Quetta (the SIA Impact Studio and WBIC at SBK Women’s University) and Loralai, and works with partners across Pakistan; in 2026 it ran its first programme abroad, in Riyadh.

Do you work with companies?

Yes. Companies can sponsor the SIA Summit, fund a cohort or book training for their staff. Start with a 20-minute call.

How do we see results?

Can our staff mentor founders?

Yes. See Mentors for how mentoring works.
