model of social business is done through local and international donors. It basically started from friends circle locally. This is a revolving fund which creates a multiplier effect. Nevertheless we treat this as a short-term measure for the start-up cycle.

OUR OPERATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
Operational Expenses: Keeping our operational costs as minimum as
possible, meetings are held at members’ homes, not at expensive venues.
Volunteering : All of our Operational team members work without
charging any salary and perform GEAR work including identification of candidates, visiting their places for evaluation, designing and helping out in execution of the social business model etc. and consider expenses incurred from their own resources as their contribution to GEAR pool of sadqa-e- jariah.
OUR OPERATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
Sustainability:
Long run - More Sustainable Self Revenue Generating Model to bear its own expenses and fund the self employment rather than depending fully on donations etc.
GEAR branded Self Employment Model e.g; GEAR Kiosk, GEAR Vegetable and Fruit Cart etc., which will be provided to GEAR partners to execute.
Advertising and sales promotion tools for local and multinational companies and the advertising revenue earned will become resource of GEAR for funding business initiative of our partners.
OUR OPERATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
Affordable Contributions Short-term fund raising - through
lifetime membership program by paying a lifetime fee of Rs. 500.
The contribution goes into the revolving fund for creating self-employment of GEAR partners.
The convenience based contribution model can raise big funds e.g., 50000 members contributing Rs. 500 each Rs. 25m creating 1000 self-employment and a multiplier effect of 10,000 families in 10 years.

OUR OPERATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
Focus on Women and Family:
Together with male partners, GEAR focuses on women and the entire family to put them into self-employment in especially designed areas.
In this connection, partnering with Industrial Homes and Training Centers for skill development like sewing, secretarial work, etc. is also taken up as project.
Training cost is also put into social investment and GEAR partners are expected to contribute in the pool of financial resources after earning and income generation activities based on the skill developed.
OUR OPERATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
Strategic Partnership with Allied Services to improve the life of GEAR partners:
GEAR goes into strategic partnership with other Social and Educational Institutions to improve the life of its partners catering to services as Health and Medical facilities, Skill Development for Self-employment, Religious, Moral, and Spiritual insights development and such other areas of vital importance.
GEAR provides monthly feedback to the donor in terms of an overall operational and financial report. It is also done for specific GEAR partners who have been funded by some donors. An operational progress report together with financial status is also provided to such donors.
Funds are not released to candidate in cash but in terms of
investments. The Volunteer organizes the self-employment
activity with necessary tools, raw material purchases,
