Under the GIZ-supported project, PSDF is helping young people turn training into a livelihood. Sibghat’s story shows how.
Sibghat was unemployed when he saw an ad for a motorcycle mechanic course at Atlas Vocational Training Institute. In a two-month PSDF short course, he learned the full process of opening, repairing and closing an engine, with friendly trainers and a centre close to his village.
Learning the same skills in the market can take years. Today, Sibghat has a decent job and supports his family.
“After this course, you will get the skill and confidence to go to the market and earn a better livelihood.”
Every course is a chance to open a new door.

True awareness goes beyond knowing the facts. It means showing up with care, courage, and community.
This October, PSDF team joined hands with Chughtai Lab to go Beyond the Belief. We learned how early detection can protect, support, and empower, and how the myths around breast cancer can delay the care people need.
Real change begins with the people around us: colleagues, friends, and family who feel informed enough to speak up, check in, and act early. Every story is unique, every journey matters, and every sign deserves attention.
Know. Check. Care. As small conversations today can make a big difference tomorrow.

Under the GIZ-supported skills project, PSDF is helping women and PWD's move from training to real jobs. Kausar’s story shows what that looks like.
Kausar is a mother of two living in Lahore. Before the training, she had never used a sewing machine. After three months of hands-on training in cutting and stitching at Shahkam Industries, she is employed and able to support her children.
“Today I am at a place where I can feed my children and run my house in a good way.”
The training pairs technical machine skills with soft skills like communicating and working with seniors, so graduates are ready for the workplace from day one.
Every certificate represents a family with a better future.

Last week, PSDF joined IOM-UN Migration in Islamabad for a stakeholder dialogue on safe, regular and informed migration, focused on how communication shapes migration decisions.
The dialogue supported the Government of Punjab’s Parwaaz Card, which offers interest-free loans to aspiring migrants with job offers to cover pre-departure costs.
For aspiring migrants, the gap is not only financial but informational. Knowing what support exists, and trusting where it comes from, turns a risky decision into an informed one.
Government ministries, academia, overseas employment promoters, international partners and civil society discussed:
•Information gaps for prospective migrants
•Communication channels that reach them
•Strengthening outreach for the Parwaaz Card
Thank you to IOM-UN Migration for hosting, to Farwa Abbas and Zeb Jaffar for chairing, and to all participants for their valuable contributions.
PSDF remains committed to working with IOM-UN Migration and partners to make safe, regular migration pathways accessible and better understood in Pakistan.

"No one in my family has had breast cancer, so I'm safe." Not quite. Most women diagnosed with breast cancer have no known family history of the disease.
Family history can increase risk, but having none does not mean zero risk. Know your personal and family health history.
Know. Check. Care. Awareness is everyone's responsibility.
For awareness purposes only. This communication does not replace professional medical advice.

وقت نیوز پر PSDF: پروَاز کارڈ کے حوالے سے حقائق کی وضاحت!
وقت نیوز کے ساتھ ایک خصوصی انٹرویو میں PSDF کی قیادت اور ٹیم نے بیرونِ ملک روزگار فراہم کرنے والے اداروں (OEP) کے نمائندوں کے ہمراہ حکومتِ پنجاب کے پروَاز کارڈ اقدام کے بارے میں جامع تفصیلات پیش کیں۔
انٹرویو میں کیا بتایا گیا؟
✅ پروَاز کارڈ بلاسود قرض (قرضِ حسنہ) ہے، جو اُن پاکستانیوں کو فراہم کیا جاتا ہے جنہیں بیرونِ ملک ملازمت مل چکی ہو۔
✅ سیکیورٹی جانچ پڑتال کے بعد بینک آف پنجاب قرض کی منظوری دیتا ہے، جبکہ اس قرض کا سود حکومتِ پنجاب، PSDF کے ذریعے ادا کرتی ہے۔
✅ ایک روپیہ بھی خرچ کرنے سے پہلے ملازمت کے معاہدے میں عہدے اور ذمہ داریوں کی تصدیق کر لی جاتی ہے۔
✅ اب تک 250 قرضے پراسیس کیے جا چکے ہیں، جن کی مجموعی مالیت 2 کروڑ روپے ہے۔
✅ ہدف: 45,000 پاکستانیوں کو بیرونِ ملک روزگار کے سفر میں معاونت فراہم کرنا۔
PSDF کی قیادت اور ٹیم نے حالیہ خدشات پر بھی بات کی اور وضاحت کی کہ چند انفرادی واقعات اُن متعدد امیدواروں کے تجربات کی عکاسی نہیں کرتے جو اپنی ملازمتوں پر کام کر رہے ہیں، تنخواہیں، اوور ٹائم اور بونس حاصل کر رہے ہیں اور ترقی بھی پا رہے ہیں۔
PSDF اور بیرونِ ملک روزگار فراہم کرنے والے ادارے (OEP) تمام امیدواروں سے مسلسل رابطے میں رہتے ہیں اور کسی بھی حقیقی مسئلے کو حل کرنے کے لیے پُرعزم ہیں۔
اس اہم اقدام پر حکومتِ پنجاب کا شکریہ۔

Breast cancer does not always cause a painful lump, and a lump is not the only warning sign. Changes in size, shape, skin, or nipple, unusual discharge, swelling, or thickening also deserve attention.
Don’t wait for pain.

PSDF clarifies key facts about the Parwaaz Card initiative. The Card supports skilled workers from Punjab in pursuing legitimate overseas employment through safe, transparent channels. It has so far been issued to 250 experienced professionals.
The Parwaaz Card is an interest-free loan—not a jobs provider. It does not offer, promise or guarantee overseas employment, and it does not take money from applicants.
@AdnanChatthapk
@ausafreports
#ParwaazCard
Eligibility: applicants must be over 18 and residents of Punjab; have a valid overseas job offer with a monthly salary up to SAR 5,000 (or equivalent); provide a guarantor under 60; and have no recent loan and a good credit history, checkable through the Tasdeeq app.
The loan is 100% interest-free, but it is not a grant. It must be repaid in full within 12–15 months. Funds are released in stages: 20% upfront, with the remaining 80% following submission of visa documents and the incurring of travelling expenses.
