The purpose of establishing SME Foundation is to promote SME sector and cottage industry in Pakistan as SME sector is really a backbone of Pakistan's industrial base, educating and empowering children, men, women and communities towards change by improving access to providing education especially professional education (Secondary / Graduation / Accounting / Management / Diplomas in CIT & DIT / Taxation & Corporate Law), health services and vocational training for their income generation.
