Balochistan Environmental & Educational Journey (BEEJ)
Founded in the year 2001 by a group of committed development
workers and experts belonging to various spheres of life such
as education, environment & sanitation, law, engineering
and women activism. After expansion of its activities in other
parts of the province, BEEJ was registered under Social Welfare
Ordinance of 1961 in December 2001.
We seek a prosperous society where people have their right
to a life of dignity and all resources are equitably managed
and sustained.
And to achieve this state, we during the process of social mobilization,
adopt a participatory, self-help, self- sustainable approach
through community involvement and formation of volunteer groups
in remote rural areas of Balochistan.
Currently we are involved in projects ranging from Primary Education
to Water Management, we have a broad horizon in front of us
and we feel that there is a lot more to do. And this feeling
has not been put aside, we are constantly striving to bring
the rays of hope and long lasting prosperity to the marginalized
communities in rural areas of this province.
Our each day brings with itself new challenges and opportunities
to grow and reach out more to the people in need, our thriving
team of social mentors with their broad range of expertise and
hard earned practical experience is playing a pivotal role in
this quest for prosperous and equalized world.
And the basic purpose of this web site is to share that each
day with you, so that together we can make a difference.
