Shah Faisal Town, the community where RLCC works, houses approximately 1 million residents. Ethnically diverse and highly politicized, Shah  Faisal battles  political and civic neglect  like the rest of Karachi. At the time of partition Begum Ra’ana Liaquat had the foresight to envisage a self-sufficient community amidst the Karachi metropolis.

Rana Liaqat Craftsmen’s Colony, founded by Begum Ra’ana Liaquat Ali Khan in 1947 (inaugurated on 25th August 1954) is a right based non-profit organization that caters to the holistic needs of over 20,000 beneficiaries. RLCC today has evolved as a forward looking, conscientious organization registered with Voluntary Social Welfare, certified by PCP and recognized as an NPO under the Income tax Ordinance, 2001. The women-centric programs at RLCC are strategized in consideration of community needs, government priorities and the targets identified by United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) with sector focus on education, health, vocational training, community outreach and livelihoods.
