Blog: Google, P@SHA Social Innovation Fund of Rs. 20 million launched

The Pakistan Software Houses Association for IT & ITES (P@SHA) announced today that it is launching a Rs. 20,000,000 fund to drive Social Innovation in the country.

The initial seed money for this Fund has been provided to P@SHA by Google Inc in the form of a grant. As the Fund proves its worth, there is a likelihood of more organizations adding to it.

The idea is not to fund the creation of software but to fund ideas that use Information & Communication Technologies (ICTs) as a platform for delivery and as a means for empowerment.

Whether the efforts help young people become successful themselves, create economic opportunities for others, design an innovative solution to existing societal problems or create success stories and role models for others to follow, the impact would no doubt be substantial.
