Bringing people together since 2014
We began as a small group of social rights activists committed to creating positive change across Pakistan. Over the years, OATH has grown into a humanitarian organization supporting more than 80,000 people by 2026 through disaster response, livelihoods, skills development, resource sharing, and opportunities that help communities build safer, stronger, and more resilient futures.
2014
Humble Origins
A group of social and rights activists formed a coalition with the express purpose of expanding social services in Pakistan. Our objective has always been to address neglected and marginalized communities’ issues and humanitarian challenges.
2016
Successful 1st Step
We organized our first campaign, Clothes Bank was a huge success. Real change means doing things practically. A community banding together to share their blessings with their neighbours is everything we wanted.
2019
Equal Representation
Gender equality is very close to our hearts. A society cannot prosper without the engagement of half its population. Our Live Equally campaign created a learning opportunity for our communities.
2020
Breaking Chains
Gender violence and abuse are often overlooked in our society. But it is and has always been a core human rights issue. OATH launched Pakistan’s first Thursdays in Black campaign to raise our voices against this injustice.

Joining Hands
We understand that large-scale change requires us to join hands with others and work together. Thus, we join the CATCH Consortium as one of its four key partners to further expand our reach and humanitarian efforts.

Fighting COVID
The pandemic was a hard time for everyone but it was especially difficult for already struggling communities. We are happy that we could help our fellow neighbours in their time of need.

A Storm Rages
2022 saw devastating floods destroy communities and displace families all over Pakistan. We were fortunate enough to be given an opportunity to help with the recovery efforts in several districts of KPK and Sindh.
