Citizens Archive of Pakistan

Why Support Us?

Through its projects and exhibitions, CAP exposes a side of Pakistan and its history that people may otherwise never see. CAP's aim is to make its archive accessible to all, irrespective of social class or educational background. The Shanaakht festival has allowed over 10,000 Karachiites to interact with their history, more than 10,000 school children visited the Birth of Pakistan exhibit and the School Outreach Tour is helping over 1000 students develop critical thinking skills and open-mindedness.

Keeping in line with CAP's belief that history belongs to everyone and should be accessible to all citizens, projects and exhibitions are in both Urdu and English. CAP also goes a step further by incorporating audio and visual elements into exhibits, so that even people who cannot read are able to benefit from and enjoy them. All such exhibitions are free of cost, so that large families are not discouraged from attending.

These exhibitions and projects are only possible through generous donations from the friends of CAP and our corporate sponsors. There are a number of ways that you or your organization can get involved, from monetary donations to volunteering your time. For details, please see thesections below.
