To date, 17 registered non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are functional in Killa Saifullah district while some province-wide organisations like the Balochistan Rural Support Programme and Taleem Foundation are also playing a very active role in different fields of socio-economic development. Most of the NGOs are working for the welfare of youth, children and women through their educational programmes, skill training centres and rural development activities. Participation of women in these activities is still minimal.

Taleem Foundation has established two grammar schools at Killa Saifullah and Muslim Bagh. Both of the schools are up to class 6. These schools are providing quality education which is a prerequisite to socio-economic development of the area. The Balochistan Rural Support Programme (BRSP), is a continuation of the Pak-German Self-help Project. The project was established in 1983 with funds provided by the German government. The German government appointed GTZ as the implementing agency to whom the Local Government and Rural Development Department was the counterpart. In April 1991, the project organisation was changed and a NGO was established to continue the implementation of the project. The name of this NGO is BRSP.

From 1983 to March 1991, only one Union Council of Killa Saifullah district was included in the project area of BRSP. In the first phase, 1983-86, some physical infrastructure schemes and training programmes were implemented in Nasai Union Council. In 1986 the strategy was changed and villagers were invited to constitute Village Organisations (VOs) in order to receive assistance from the project. A Village Organisation is required to meet once a month to discuss their common problems and to make proposals for assistance to be required from BRSP. All VO members are required to save a small amount of money every month and deposit it into the bank account of the Village Organisation. In 1988, the BRSP introduced a component of rural finance in its programme according to which Village Organisations that save more than rupees 10,000 are given their saving as internal lending. After repayment of the loan with a mutually agreed upon mark-up, the VO is entitled to apply for a new loan. The amount of loan increases every time the VO proves its credit worthiness.

At present BRSP is functional in 4 Union Councils of the district: Murgha Faqirzai, Nasai, Muslim Bagh and Kan Mehterzai. A total of 90 Village Organisations have been constituted in these 4 Union Councils of the district. In order to ensure women participation in development activities the assistance for physical infrastructure development has been conditioned to the establishment of Women Organisations (WOs). To date 75 Women Organisations have been constituted.

The Balochistan Rural Support Programme is a multi-faceted programme. It has helped in establishment of Apple Production and Marketing Association which has won many prizes in apple exhibitions since 1991. The BRSP arranges training workshops for women in the fields of basic health, first aid, midwifery and income generation activities. It has also provided training in livestock farming, livestock health and lamb fattening. Village Specialist training is another component which enables villagers to solve their agricultural problems at local level. To date 41 village specialists have been trained. Three of these village specialists have established Agro Input Shops at Nasai, Muslim Bagh and Murgha Faqirzai with the help of BRSP. In the field of education the BRSP has helped in establishing 3 literacy centres.

BRSP gives also financial assistance for physical infrastructure schemes. For the first project of a VO, BRSP contributes 75 percent of the finance, in the second project 50 percent and in the third project of the same VO 25 percent of the finance is contributed by BRSP. Afterwards entire financing is done by the VO and BRSP provides technical assistance. Amongst the physical infrastructure schemes, 6 water supply schemes are most worth mentioning.

Some international organisations and projects have been active in the district, specially in the field of education, health, and water supply and sanitation. The World Bank and the Japanese government have provided assistance for water management through the On Farm Water Management Project in Killa Saifullah district. UNICEF has assisted the Water and Sanitation Cell of the Local Government and Rural Development which has installed 160 deep well hand pumps in the district.
