The Community Uplift Program (CUP), Pakistan is registered as a national level non-profit development organization under Section 42 of the Companies Ordinance 1984, on 29th Jan 2001. CUP is not just another NGO. It is a non-profit development organization with a difference and offers an innovative solution to quality development at the grass roots level through an intensive and integrated participatory process. It empowers people for sustainable development and builds meaningful partnerships between all stakeholders. Yes, indeed a silent revolution in progress in the poorest corners of Pakistan and Community Uplift Program (CUP) is triggering tears of joy amongst some of the most disadvantaged men, women and children living below poverty lines and empowering them to stand on their own feet and making decision about their own development.

CUP is a national indigenous solution for implementing poverty reduction projects; an innovation that can be replicated by the Government and Development Agencies with unprecedented accruals to the poorest of the poor at an amazingly low per capita cost. It is a paradigm shift from run of the mill high-cost development projects having minimal impact to a result-oriented and synergy participatory development, which we call the 4-dimensional development approach; Integration, Participation, Impact and Transparency.
