Mr. Sarwar Pedawi shares his views with the young enthusiasts

"When we think about employment or business opportunities, there is a stark picture that reflects the role of women and it tends to look considerably under-presented. The majority of the women face greater problems and obstacles in numerous developing countries and so we do. Consequently, women are generally less empowered, specifically in being on the key roles. Which in the context of the economic and business world creates a great hindrance towards the overall development of the country." – Pedawi Sarwar

The Corona springing educational crisis – Sarwar Pedawi

It is becoming one of the biggest threats for low income and lower-middle-income countries, where the constraint of sufficient funding became the biggest barrier. This may also decline the decades of progress while reflecting the effects beyond education even. This will eventually push the countries to the deepest economic recession with lasting impacts on society as a whole. It is obvious that a collapsing educational system will hinder peace, prosperity, and productive society. Therefore, it is imperative for national and international communities to protect educational financing through various avenues. For the sake of common global wellness and the development of a sustainable society across the globe.

Effective response on pandemic

The Kurdish region has experienced significant growth in the past decade which has been massively shaken by the aftermath of COVID 19. Efficiently responding to the prevailing issues and being prepared for the upcoming threats is the only way to face the crisis. Therefore, strengthening the resilience of the educational system is essential for effectively responding to potential problems. Governments all around the world have intervened to extend their support to the educational institutions in coping up with the potential challenges and making it possible for the safe reopening of the schools. People from disadvantaged families are suffering the most as the lack of resources makes them miss out on the virtual learning platforms as well. The lack of learning opportunities and social interaction will likely impact their social development in the longer run.

Venture Philanthropy by Sarwar Pedawi

Every year millions of dollars are spent for aiding developing and underdeveloped countries. The archaic concept of philanthropy is still part of the agenda even in large organizations. Giving charities and supporting people by extending financial help is considered as being socially responsible. But is it really being socially responsible? Or probably your charitable activities will unfold many other social and cultural complexities to the society. Do we even try to read between the lines, to make a sequence of problems leading to long-term solutions? Maybe your little act of random kindness will not bring any change but your little act of sensible kindness will definitely make a great difference.

Sarwar Pedawi believes that following conventional wisdom should not be the game plan in today’s world. Our world which is overshadowed by technological advancement brought a whole paradigm shift in our lives. The revolutionary change has substantially impacted the way of living directly or indirectly. So carrying an orthodox attitude does not make difference anymore. The new world order requires the philosophy of thinking out of the box, being unusual and innovative.

New world order

Gone are the days, when spending a few dollars used to be appreciated as a matter of philanthropic approach. Just to add an instance, when human development organizations started distributing free mosquito nets in Africa with the aim of curbing the threat of Malaria. A large number of local sellers had to shut down their businesses due to the massive decline in demand. Thus, the act of philanthropy has been backfired and significantly impacted the economy as a whole.

This gives us a clear indication of how charitable activities are not always helpful. Instead, they could also become the reason of your decline. Therefore, I being an entrepreneurial philanthropist keep stressing over Venture Philanthropy. It is a more sensible approach to fulfilling your social responsibility, in a more responsible manner.

Think out of the box

The term Venture Philanthropy refers to an ad hoc philanthropic approach, which intends to support people in establishing their ventures or start-ups. Venture philanthropy or entrepreneurial philanthropy are the terms used interchangeably for showing your support towards helping people in developing new businesses. Being a part of venture philanthropy does not always require you to write grand cheques. There are different scenarios where you have to respond differently to extend your charitable support.

So it is imperative for you to understand the social issues of the region or group of people you want to address. In some cases by only providing your knowledge and expertise, will also add a great help for the people to grow. Bringing new prospects for the people or creating employment opportunities is way better than extending a financial help. With this premise, you need to first set your objectives about the ways you can help them for long-term growth. Foresee the perpetual impacts you are going to bring into their lives.
