Executive Summary:
Brand Identity:
Emergency Medical Services of Aman Healthcare Services brand identity is
the outward expression of what they stand for as an organization. This is
summarized in their vision, mission and is supported by their values.
Transforming Lives:
The Aman Trust (AT) is a social sector enterprise that aims to champion
dignity and choice for the underserved throughout the MENASA region. It has
been involved in philanthropic giving for many years (primarily Pakistan,
India, Jordan, Palestine, Egypt and the UAE). Aman Trust has operated largely
outside the public purview due to the privacy needs of its sponsor trustees
(namely Arif Naqvi and his family) but, institutional capacity building and
example-setting has dictated that AT is now visible. For the Pakistan
component of its work, AT has seeded the Aman Foundation with USD 100
million to help achieve the Foundations mission: To champion dignity and
choice for the underserved in Pakistan through sustainable, scalable, and
systemic development in areas of health and education. Capacity building
and promoting female empowerment is a cross-cutting theme across all
Aman businesses. The word business is used deliberately, since Aman is
run as a private sector entity with accountability, transparency and clear
KPIs for its operational teams although it is a not-for-profit.
The Foundation realizes that Food Security and Nutrition are fundamental to
the development of any society without which targets in healthcare and
education cannot be met. Recognizing this, in September 2008 a project to
provide hygienic and nutritionally balanced meals to 3,000 children per day
in an economically deprived peri-urban Karachi community was piloted. Its
primary purpose was to improve child healthcare statistics. However,
enrolment and attendance were simultaneously enhanced in a measurable
way. AMANGHAR serves as a model blue print for other socially responsible
citizens and corporations to adopt and replicate. Over 3.5+ million
nutritionally balanced meals have been served till-date.
Forty per cent of death and disease in Pakistan is preventable; a fact that has
led the Foundation to undertake major health initiatives that address this in a
systemic manner. At its core is the creation of the Emergency Medical
Services (AMANAMBULANCE), which in a city of 18 million has redefined
ambulatory care. Offering a fleet of 80 fully-equipped ambulances to all parts
of the city, manned by doctors and trained paramedics, the service which
was launched in March 2009 has already conducted almost 600,000
emergency medical interventions to date; and has evolved as a service of
choice in times of need. Operating as mobile clinics during flood relief efforts
of 2010 and 2011, these vehicles provided timely outpatient care to an
additional 100,000 displaced persons in the worst affected areas of Sindh
and Punjab. Coordinated through a central control and command center, this
state-of-the-art emergency service has achieved an average response time
of less than 10 minutes.

jobs is part of the undertaking the Foundation takes upon itself graduates
to date have been placed both locally and abroad.
Teach For Pakistan, is ostensibly a teacher training program but in reality it is
the beginning of a nationwide movement of graduates and young
professionals who commit two years to teach in under-resourced schools.
These young people will go on to become lifelong leaders working from
across all fields to expand educational opportunity in Pakistan. The program,
which is a partner in the Teach for All global network, was launched in 2011
with 60 fellows teaching across 40 low income schools in Karachi. Two-thirds
of the Fellows, come from foreign universities and prestigious national
institutions such as LUMS and IBA.
AMANSPORTS, which is a part of Amans multi-pronged education strategy,
believes in childrens basic right to play and that transformative learning
occurs through play. The program primarily focuses on extensive grass roots
sports access for all school-going children. The vision is to create a system of
regular organized sporting events which become a part of every bottom of
the pyramid schools academic ethos. Through this grass roots activation,
AMANSPORTS envisions the creation of a School of Sports an academy that
will harness and hone the talent that emerges through the grass-root
sporting events. AMANSPORTS seeks to create a sports marketing and
business development arm of its operations that will attract the media and
catalyze the sports industry, thereby creating avenues of sustainability. This
arm seeks to create revenue streams not only from its operations, but also
by strategic alliance formation with corporates and sports federations. Real
Madrid Foundation signed a letter of intent to partner with Aman in football
and basketball in Pakistan. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between
the two parties was then signed in November, 2012.
To address the theme of capacity building within the community, Aman has
been involved in strategic grant giving, which in addition to working
synergistically with its own projects has been designed to promote
collaboration to leverage other peoples good work. An example of this is the
collaborative community mental health initiative (SHAMIL) that was launched
in August 2011. It is a joint venture created through i-Care,Karvan-e-Hayat,
Pakistan Association for Mental Health and HANDS. The program seeks to
establish satellite psychiatric clinics, and build capacity by training
community health workers to conduct mental health assessment, provide
basic support and guidance. Moreover, research commissioned by Aman is
designed to provide the basis of a strategy for Mental Health in Karachi as
none exists. Such work can amplify impact in our priority sectors; almost
saying, Aman provides risk capital and early stage financing in core
strategic philanthropy areas where others do not.
