CUP will strive to help disadvantaged and marginalised communities in reducing their poverty levels through social mobilisation of community/village based organisations with a view to enabling them to; (a) acquire their basic social and human needs and, (b) generate sustainable livelihoods.

Community Uplift Program (CUP) Pakistan is a national level non-profit development organisation registered under Section 42 of the Pakistan Companies Ordinance on 29 Jan 2001. CUP has developed over the past more than nine (09) years as a national indigenous solution for implementing poverty reduction projects; an innovation that can be replicated by the government anddevelopment 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 synergic participatory development, which we call the four dimensional development approach; “integration, participation, impact and transparency”. Thus, we are positioned as a community development resource centre with both upstream policy level formulation and downstream grassroot level integrated participatory action planning and implementation systems for development interventions.
