SIA Impact Studio & Hubs
Where SIA’s programmes happen: the SIA Impact Studio and WBIC at SBK Women’s University in Quetta, CEUL at the University of Loralai, and, by 2031, a network of 8 hubs.
The SIA Impact Studio is SIA’s incubation and acceleration arm, and Pakistan’s first social enterprise incubator and accelerator. Under the Strategic Plan, licensed local facilitators will take programmes to districts without a hub.
