Moses Welfare Foundation is a government-registered organization under the Societies Act 1860 in Pakistan, dedicated to empowering communities and transforming lives through comprehensive support programs. Our mission is to uplift underprivileged individuals and families by addressing critical needs in medical aid, food security, education, skills training, labor rights advocacy, and sports. We believe in fostering a society where every individual has equal opportunities to thrive, regardless of their financial or social background. Through our various initiatives, we aim to create a sustainable impact that leads to long-term community development and improved quality of life. Medical Aid and Healthcare Support Access to healthcare is a fundamental right, yet millions of people in Pakistan struggle to afford medical treatments and essential medicines. Moses Welfare Foundation is committed to bridging this gap by providing free and subsidized healthcare services to those in need. We work with hospitals, doctors, and healthcare professionals to offer medical check-ups, diagnostic tests, and life-saving treatments for the underprivileged. Our medical aid program also extends to providing financial assistance for surgeries, maternity care, and emergency medical situations. Through health camps and awareness programs, we educate communities about preventive healthcare, hygiene, and nutrition, ensuring a healthier future for all. Food Banks and Hunger Relief Food insecurity remains a major challenge for many families, particularly in rural and low-income urban areas. Moses Welfare Foundation operates food banks that distribute essential groceries and cooked meals to individuals and families facing hunger. Our food distribution initiatives prioritize daily wage laborers, widows, orphans, and elderly individuals who lack consistent access to nutritious food. During religious and national holidays, as well as in times of crisis, we expand our food relief programs to reach a larger number of beneficiaries. Our goal is not just to provide immediate relief but to work towards long-term solutions to eradicate hunger through sustainable food security programs. Education for All Education is a powerful tool that can break the cycle of poverty and open doors to countless opportunities. At Moses Welfare Foundation, we are dedicated to making quality education accessible to children from disadvantaged backgrounds. We provide scholarships, school supplies, and financial aid to students who struggle to afford tuition fees, books, and uniforms. Our programs also include after-school tutoring, career counseling, and mentorship initiatives to help students excel academically and develop the skills they need to succeed in life. We believe that an educated society is a progressive society, and we are committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn and grow. Skills Development and Vocational Training Economic empowerment is a key aspect of our mission. We recognize that many individuals, especially youth and women, lack access to skill-building opportunities that can lead to stable employment or entrepreneurial ventures. Moses Welfare Foundation offers vocational training programs in various fields such as information technology, handicrafts, tailoring, and technical trades. By equipping individuals with practical skills, we enable them to secure jobs, start their own businesses, and achieve financial independence. Our training centers also provide career guidance, resume-building workshops, and job placement assistance to ensure that participants transition successfully into the workforce. Labor Rights Advocacy and Social Justice Many laborers in Pakistan face exploitation, unfair wages, and unsafe working conditions. Moses Welfare Foundation is a strong advocate for labor rights, working towards better policies and protections for workers in different industries. We provide legal assistance, awareness programs, and advocacy campaigns to help laborers understand their rights and fight for fair treatment. Our efforts also include collaborating with governmental and non-governmental organizations to push for labor reforms and social justice initiatives that benefit marginalized workers. We firmly believe that every worker deserves dignity, respect, and fair compensation for their labor. Youth Empowerment through Sports Sports play a crucial role in the physical, mental, and social development of young individuals. Our foundation actively promotes sports and recreational activities as a means of empowering youth and fostering community engagement. We organize tournaments, training sessions, and mentorship programs for aspiring athletes, ensuring they have access to the necessary resources and support. By encouraging sports participation, we aim to instill values of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance among young individuals, helping them stay away from negative influences and lead healthier lifestyles. Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Natural disasters, pandemics, and other crises can leave communities vulnerable and in urgent need of support. Moses Welfare Foundation responds to emergencies by providing immediate relief in the form of food, shelter, medical aid, and financial assistance. Whether it's a flood, earthquake, or any other catastrophe, we mobilize our resources to ensure affected communities receive timely assistance. Our disaster relief efforts also include rebuilding homes, restoring livelihoods, and providing psychological support to help individuals recover from trauma and loss. Women and Child Welfare Programs Women and children are often the most vulnerable segments of society, facing issues such as domestic violence, lack of education, and economic dependency. Our foundation runs several programs aimed at empowering women through skills training, financial assistance, and legal aid. We also focus on child welfare by supporting orphanages, providing nutrition programs, and advocating for children's rights. By investing in women and children, we believe we are investing in the future of our nation. Community Development and Social Welfare A strong community is built on mutual support, collaboration, and shared progress. Moses Welfare Foundation undertakes various community development projects, including infrastructure improvements, clean water initiatives, and sanitation programs. We work closely with local leaders and organizations to address pressing social issues and create sustainable solutions that improve the quality of life for community members. Through volunteerism and active civic engagement, we encourage individuals to take part in social welfare activities and contribute towards building a more compassionate and united society. Sustainability and Future Goals At Moses Welfare Foundation, we believe in creating long-lasting impacts rather than short-term fixes. Our initiatives are designed to be sustainable, empowering individuals and communities to become self-sufficient over time. We continuously strive to expand our reach, improve our programs, and adapt to the changing needs of society. By leveraging partnerships, technological advancements, and innovative approaches, we aim to enhance the effectiveness of our initiatives and create a legacy of positive change.

We are passionate about making a difference and ensuring no child is left behind. Knowing that there are various ways we can drive changes for children in our community, we decided to focus on three key areas: Child Protection, Child Survival, and Child Education. OUR KEY FOCUS AREAS 1. Child Protection The Elite Star Foundation is working towards creating a safe and happy childhood for every Nigerian child, free from abuse and neglect. We aim to play a significant role in giving children all over Nigeria a voice while upholding the highest standard of child protection through advocacy, awareness, and responsive support service.

We are dedicated to the safety and well-being of all the children in our society, and we are doing our best to ensure that we mitigate the advent of child abuse in society. 2. Child Survival Child survival is a critical issue that requires the attention of all stakeholders in the global community. For too long, children have been dying from preventable diseases and injuries, and the impact of this loss is felt by their families and entire communities and countries. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3 calls for "ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all ages, "focusing on child survival. We recognize that child survival is not an isolated issue but is closely linked to other key development objectives like education, gender equality, and poverty reduction. We must work together to create an enabling environment that provides the necessary support and resources to ensure the survival and well-being of all children. At Elite Star Foundation, every child deserves a chance to live a long, healthy life. That is why we are committed to using a comprehensive approach to promoting the survival and well-being of children worldwide. Our Child Survival Approach combines prevention, early intervention, and response strategies to ensure that children have the best chance of surviving and thriving. Prevention: Prevention is the best way to ensure a child's survival. We work to improve the health and well-being of children by providing health education and preventive health services. Our prevention strategies also focus on reducing poverty, increasing access to quality education, and promoting good nutrition and hygiene. Early Intervention: Early intervention is key to ensuring a child's survival. We provide rapid response services to children at risk of malnutrition, disease, or other health problems. Our early intervention services include providing nutritional supplements and access to medical care. Response: We are there to respond when a child is in crisis. We provide emergency services to children who are victims of natural disasters, conflicts, or other health crises. We provide medical care, food, clean water, shelter, and other essential services to needy children. At Elite Star Foundation, we are committed to protecting and promoting the health and well-being of children around the world. We use a comprehensive approach to ensure that every child has the best chance at survival. 3. Child Education At Elite Star Foundation, we believe that a child's education is the foundation of their future success. We strive to provide a comprehensive approach to education tailored to each child's needs. Through our programs, we strive to create a safe and supportive learning environment that helps children reach their highest potential. Our approach to child education is based on a holistic view of the child as a whole person. We recognize the importance of providing various learning experiences for children, including academic, physical, social, and emotional learning. Education should not be limited to the classroom but should extend to the community and beyond. We strive to create learning opportunities that cultivate creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. At Elite Star Foundation, we understand that each child has unique abilities and interests. We strive to provide an individualized approach to education that considers each child's needs. We offer a variety of educational programs, such as tutoring, mentorships, and after-school activities, that help children develop the skills they need to succeed. We also recognize the importance of family involvement in a child's education. We strive to create a partnership between families, schools, and other community organizations to ensure that every child has the support they need to reach their educational goals. At Elite Star Foundation, we are committed to providing children with the educational opportunities they need to become successful, productive members of society. We believe that quality education is the key to a brighter future.
Real School in Goris is founded to create an informal education in Goris which will give the students the opportunity to get both theoretical and practical knowledge and skills, which will be enough to enter the job market easier. Our main goal is to create a techno-park based on that educational platform. To reach this goal, we took the Real School concept and programs and we are implementing the school in Goris as a separate institution. The main mission is like the Real School mission, which can be found below: The REAL SCHOOL is providing its graduates with knowledge (theoretical and practical) and skills (professional, personal and social) to succeed in high-tech innovative industry. REAL SCHOOL is a four year collage level program that combines liberal arts in-class education and vocational off-site trainings in R&D organizations, resulting in a level of knowledge comparable to today's Bachelor level graduates of Armenian universities combined with practical skills and CV of a 1-year junior developer in modern IT/High-tech company. The main difference from classical Bachelors program is targeting professional career in the industry, rather than academic career. However it doesn't mean that the applicants are low-level technicians. Modern high-tech industry requires everyday effort in self-education (lifelong learning) due to constantly changing technologies, innovation, new fields, spheres, opportunities. The modern life is not divided into "learn" and "work" segments anymore, but is combining the work & learning process till the last day of the professional career. As a consequence, the classical approach to education (learn only) and to professional career (work only) is failing in XXI century. Our vision of XXI century high-tech organization is a combination of Research, Production and Education formats. An organization that lacks any one of these 3 components, will loose in competition to those who are doing their own innovation, that is close to their own production, and are educating their own staff by maintaining the internship logistics. Our mission is to implement such program in partnership with IT organizations in neighborhood of each RealSchool site. It includes expansion to rural areas of developing countries, helping local industry to upgrade to meet the challenges of innovative high-tech economy. The liberal arts program is following classical approach to education of a "free citizen" of a republic, i.e. provide understanding of the structure of the world, universe, civilization, economy, which is sufficient for the person to discover their mission for their life or at least for the next 7-12 years, and to develop their skills and knowledge towards fulfillment of that mission. The liberal arts program itself is built in a project-based approach. The projects used in this section of the curriculum are also real-life projects, i.e. they are not invented by professors for educational purposes but are chosen from the infrastructure projects and issues faced by the region/country/world. Examples of such projects for I and II grade students include: 1) Forest recovery, in cooperation with the Armenian Forestry Committee. Green industry projects. Reuse of materials. Effective ovens development. Effective usage of forests/wood in the industry and household. Biodegradable materials development and use in the small scale high-end production. 2) Study of ancient Armenian literature, classical Armenian language, terminology, in cooperation with prominent researchers in the field. Creation of fonts, spell-checkers, translators for modern dialects (western/eastern) of Armenian and classical Armenian. Localization of the GNU SW (Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice, Xfce4, Gimp, Inkscape, etc). 3) Study of ancient musical notation systems and body movement (dance) notation systems, development of SW for musical and ethnographic studies, in cooperation with researches from Armenian Conservatory, institute of Komitas and Armenian song and dance academy. 4) Study of environmental health control and monitoring, development of measurement kits for air, water, soil and ether (electromagnetic) pollution, performance of the measurements and publication/awareness promotion projects 5) Study of information management systems, information security challenges, development of national standards for information age, upgrade of national institutions, ministries to reduce paperwork and use modern IT solutions 6) Study of macroeconomic and microeconomic field, legislation. Development of promotion programs and lobbying for making legislation more friendly towards innovation, startup, family-business and small/medium enterprises. 7) Study of pedagogical and epistemological issues in high-tech post-modern reality, development of extracurricular and curricular studies for middle-school and high-school students. Support and further development of Armath curriculum, in cooperation with original authors of Armath curicula. Augmenting Armath with radio-frequency, electronics, mechatronics and biochemical kits. In the fields of pedagogy and epistemology - the mission is to reconsider foundations of personal training, establishment, attachment and feeling of heartbeat of the civilization, world, universe for a modern human being. From our perspective the history of the epistemology and thought is split into segments of before XIV century (primarily descriptive science), followed by the birth of analytical methods and decomposition, until hitting the ground (subatom, genome, lexical elements) in the mid XX century, and starting the third phase - the age of synthetic science (syntetic materials, synthetic life forms, synthetic languages). At the same time this switch from analytical to synthetical coincided with demographic supernova burst: for ages the population on earth was < 1B, and in XX it jumped to 7B and continues growing. As in the case of supernova - and in general - any bifurcation point - it is hard to predict what will be the next state: the dwarf, black hole, or new star. It is easier to choose desired outcome and invest resources in achieving that outcome, rather than investing in analytical efforts to predict the outcome. Fundamental reconsideration of human beings attitude towards self, towards their planet, their civilization and the universe is due to protect new generation from storm of information they are facing from their birth time, and give them instruments to categorize, prioritize and filter that information, in order to extract the core values, build goals and obtain attachment to life that was "given" in in the past to a person by the life style, and now has became a major problem for new generation, which has hard time finding challenges outside the virtual world of social networks and network games. Parents cannot solve this problem alone. The system needs to be built by the state to help them. Our goal is to provide B2G consulting and active participation in building the new formats and curricula for different age groups. Our consortium has created the Armath program under this mission, is building the Real School program, and has started building the Academic Research Hub for the academic (fundamental research) field as well. Among these, the RealSchool in mid-term has the highest impact on our future.
