KASB Football Stitching Centre
Empowering Women, Transforming Lives
In Pakistan, women make up nearly half the population, yet their participation in the workforce remains alarmingly low at 21.4% as of recent statistics. Many women, particularly in rural and underprivileged areas, face significant barriers to earning a livelihood, including limited access to education, skills training, and financial independence.
The MTJ Foundation’s KASB Football Stitching Centre is an initiative designed to address these challenges by empowering women with the skills and opportunities needed to become financially independent and support their families with dignity.
It provides a learning space for women to overcome barriers, enhance skills, and achieve financial independence. With a focus on creating change agents in communities, the initiative aims to empower individuals for a better future.
MTJ Foundation’s Kasb Vocational Training Institute seeks to uplift men and women in impoverished communities, offering skill-based programs that foster self-sustainability and economic empowerment.

The Need for Women Empowerment in Pakistan
Women in Pakistan often face cultural, social, and economic barriers that prevent them from participating fully in the workforce.
Key Statistics:
- Only 21.4% of women are part of the labor force, compared to 81.1% of men.
- The gender pay gap is significant, with women earning far less than men for similar work.
- Rural women have even fewer opportunities, with a majority engaged in unpaid domestic or agricultural work.
Empowering women through vocational training and skill development is crucial to breaking the cycle of poverty, improving household incomes, and fostering community development.
