Sindh Rural Support Organization ( SRSO ) was incorporated on May 29, 2003 as a not-for-profit Organisation and registered under section 42 of the Companies Act 2017 (Formerly known as Companies Ordinance, 1984). SRSO is funded by government of Sindh to work in the designated districts of Sindh. This policy has been endorsed by government to achieve the goals of poverty reduction through community empowerment, skills enhancement, capacity building and development of community supported infrastructure projects, and the provision of support for income generation, enterprise development and micro credit. For this purpose SRSO organizes the local communities and develop their managerial and technical capacity. People and the government are supported in forging partnership and inculcating the sense of ownership among the people. SRSO is presently entrusted with the responsibility of fostering a network of community organizations at the grassroots level across the Sindh province and works in the following sub-sectors while applying the participatory development approach of sustainable development goals. The social mobilization movement began in Pakistan in December 1982 originating in the Northern Areas. The pioneer of this movement was the Aga Khan Rural Support Programme (AKRSP). It gradually spread to the rest of the country under the guise of provincial Rural Support Programmes (RSPs) established by the Government of Pakistan and collaborative donor funding. For the purpose, Sindh Rural Support Organisation (SRSO) was established to work under the umbrella of Rural Support Programme Network in designated districts of Sindh. In July 2003, Sindh Rural Support Organization (SRSO) was established, funded by Government of Sindh with the provision of an endowment of Rs. 500 million, that was raised to Rs. 1 billion in subsequent years. The Sindh Rural Support Organization has thus a history of 17 years. It started its activities initiated by National Rural Support Programme (NRSP) in District Sukkur. NRSP had planned to cover only three Union Councils of District Sukkur. SRSO has since then expanded its programme to 23 Union Councils in five districts namely Sukkur, Khairpur, Shikarpur, Jacobabad and Ghotki. Now SRSO is working in 15 district of the Sindh province, i.e. Sukkur, Khairpur, Ghotki, Naushehroferoz, Sh.Banazirabad, Sanghar, Badin, Thatta , Mirpurkhas, Umerkot, Shikarpur, Jacobabad, Larkana, Kashmore-Kandhkot and Qamber-Shahdadkot, and 695 Union Councils of these districts.
