positive impact on the lives of many
of the otherwise forgotten students.
In 2013, Diya expanded its scope of activities
to address the chronic unemployment challenge in Pakistan.
Diya has started a vocational training stipend program
to assist students who are unable to pursue higher
education to acquire employable
and export focused skills.
Also starting in 2013,
Diya has launched the
Future Leaders Program (EXCEL)
to groom extraordinary talented
students through coaching,
education scholarships and
career placement services.
Five year objective is to assist

their aspirations.

exponentially driven by a
significantly higher amount of
donations received from our local

was a direct result of increased
awareness about Diya’s activities,
confidence in the integrity,
commitment and professionalism of
our people, and the confidence that
the donations are reaching the most
deserving beneficiaries and making a
significant difference to their
lives.
