Active Shehri

We are a bunch of civic-minded technology enthusiasts running a technology focused non-profit, building a non-partisan citizen collaboration ecosystem to improve quality of life across Pakistan. We aim to transform civic life by creating a citizen focused platform which helps them to interact with government authorities and other citizen living in your neighborhood. We want to change the way an average citizen in Pakistan tackles his daily problems. Our team consists of talented people from all walks of life, yet sharing the same bond of Pakistani citizenship. And we are ready to make mistakes that will allow us to learn and adapt, so that we can stop others from making the same. Trust in civic institution is eroding, and too many of our fellow citizens view government as bureaucratic, corrupt and inefficient – or worse, as something that stifles progress rather as a potential force for good. We are re framing relationship between local government and citizen, we believe, is essential if the two are to live together smartly. Just like the world has progressed towards creating an online community of buyers and sellers by cutting out the middle-man, we want to create a digital forum for the citizens of Pakistan too where they can get their problems solved together without any help from the government. By reducing reliance on any sort of bureaucracy, Active Shehri aims to get things done, fast. You can report on any problem ranging from that related to education, employment, health and sanitation to that related to law enforcement, legal manipulation and criminal activities. Active Shehri also wants to create a nexus between the citizens and the authorities in Pakistan, as it has been in talk with many media bodies for quite some time now.
