Good Thinkers Organisation
GTO has been progressing forward by extending its collaborations, establishing networks, undertaking multifarious projects, exploring new avenues for cooperation and development, and empowering communities particularly marginalised women to make them self-reliant. While designing and implementing its activities, it duly considers guiding principles of international commitments.
“Passion for justice along with human development” and “enthusiasm to address societal issues” is the key driving force behind establishment and functioning of this organisation. The founding members are the self-motivated and energetic persons; their determination was therefore high and ironic. They gathered hundreds of other young persons and initiated this organisation with limited resources.
In Kasur District about 121,000 Women are unregistered with NADRA, who do not have their National Identity Cards. GTO targeted 31500 women, who will be facilitated during this 7 month Project. TDEA & UNDP financially and technically supported this project

The GTO is working to ensure social acceptance of TG community in Pakistan and protecting their legal and constitutional rights.
Through various programmes, the organisation has significantly contributed in development of marginalised communities particularly women and children by upholding good-governance practices, advocating for rights of people, providing free legal aid to victims, combating with child labour, fostering economic empowerment and skill enhancement among women, and empowering youth and trans-persons.
The society – we are living in – have been long grappling with daunting challenges all around; poor governance and rule of law, violation of basic human rights, violence against women and transgender persons, child abuse, extreme poverty, illiteracy, inadequate service delivery, economic exploitation, bonded labour, environmental degradation, and child labour are the prominent to name among others. Majority of the people – particularly in rural areas – are not properly familiar with their basic rights and responsibilities. Governance institutions and service delivery departments are less efficient (due to several underlying reasons including resource constraint) in ensuring good governance system and delivering basic services to people.
