Keeping in view the fact, SRSP started a capacity building program with the support of different partners/agencies at different times, simultaneously it also contributed in capacity building of the needy people of its operational area as well as other parts of the Sindh at its own. The theme of this activity is to uplift the economical status of people as they can participate in all development activities of their life.
