LOOKING AHEAD
The unique positioning of HOPE FOR LIFE ORGANIZATION (HFLO) clearly equips it to meet the challenges that lie ahead. While the HOPE FOR LIFE ORGANIZATION (HFLO) feels the need to grow and expand in response to increasing demands, it also recognizes the need to consolidate and bring into focus its programmed activities with a clear thrust on development issues. After serious introspection, the Team HFLO presently envisages to strengthen and involve itself in the following fields of activity: Assisting small voluntary organizations by way of providing conceptual forums and information support, especially to those groups working in remote areas. Involving youth in voluntary action in a sustained manner. Offering certificates and stipends to youth for their voluntary works. Initiating development education so that middle class citizens can contribute and participate in voluntary development work more effectively. Setting up an NGO advocacy and outreach centre so as to provide support to the smaller and more vulnerable voluntary organizations. Initiating community-based development projects carrying out action research in rural and urban areas. Promoting regional cooperation and exchanges between people of the South Asian countries.

It is the around-the-corner brand of hope that prompts people to action, while the distant hope acts as an opiate. -Eric Hoffer

SWOT STRENGHTS:
We are Enthusiastic, Dedicated, Self Motivated and Goal Oriented. Our TEAM HFLO is consisting of Professional from almost every field of Education, so we have a great advantage to guide our YOUTH coming from Various Fields of Education. We are working for the good of people, so we have a high Morale and we believe in making it happen.

WEAKNESSES:
Our weakness is our Strength and that is WE DONT PAY ANYTHING IN BRIBE. Lack of Resources, up until now, we are relying on donations and that is why we are struggling to find good work force.

OPPORTUNITIES:
Since Youth has the great potential to excel in any field and we are so Energetic and Positive, that we seek OPPORTUNITY in every O. As in Pakistan, Education & Awareness Level is quite low so we have a lot of work to do.

THREATS:
Since we are working with very low budgets, so the biggest threat that we have that we are not providing any sort FINANCIAL PERKS to YOUTH, who are working their HEARTS OUT for us.

Hope is not a dream but a way of making dreams becomes reality. -L. J. Suenens
