There is no silver bullet to change the world, but educating women is like silver buckshot.

There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

We never know the worth of water till the well is dirty.

Money alone does not buy better health. Good policies that promote equity have a better chance.

Good Artisans, even hidden & isolated, will soon find the buyers…step ahead for e-entrepreneurship

Solidar Suisse, Pakistan first time acquired services of ACPL in 2015-16 for capacity building of parents of child laborers to enhance their income, quality of products and services. The first experience had been great due to very professional, committed and competent staff engaged by ACPL. Afterward ACPL won three more contracts of Solidar which include midterm impact assessment followed by staff capacity building on kitchen gardening, entrepreneurship and cooperatives and a final evaluation of a WASH project. The key strengths of ACPL which I have noticed are pool of competent human resource, promptness, quality reporting, flexibility in adjusting budget and empathy towards deprived communities. I highly recommend ACPL for capacity building initiatives.
