@BaratKhan   Thanks again for posting.  I was reading today on this platform about how ESRI is able to "....help our customers develop sustainable practices—and help us improve our own"....   3 specific areas were discussed:  a) Habitat preservation; b) Commitment to community; and c) Building a better world, together.  

I suggest you knock on United Nations doors in your country.  "... the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals".   Its  Data Alliance is  fighting poverty and improving lives globally, including in your country.   

Keep up your good works.

Dear WilliamTarpai,

Thank you so much for your appreciation and valuable suggestion 🙏

The Green Project Balochistan is our effort to use GIS for real impact - groundwater, watershed management, plantation, and coastal planning across 5 districts of Balochistan: Quetta, Gwadar, Zhob, Loralai and Qilla Saifullah.

I really appreciate your guidance to connect with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Data Alliance. It aligns perfectly with our goals and I will reach out to the UN office in Pakistan.

Grateful for your support and motivation!

Best regards,
BaratKhan

NO worries @BaratKhan   Achieving the goal of a Green Balochistan will require schools, students and their teachers working together to make it happen.  Gwadar is a place where lots of money is building up infrastructure, and so lots of possibilities exist.

Dear Mr. WilliamTarpai,

Assalamualaikum!

Thank you SO much for your encouraging message 🙏😊
Your support means a lot to us and it truly made my day!

We are fully committed to involving schools, students and teachers in Green Balochistan.
Your idea gave us even more motivation!

Our focus areas are:
- Groundwater monitoring in Quetta, Zhob, Loralai, Qilla Saifullah
- Coastal planning and plantation in Gwadar
- Using GIS to help communities protect water and plant more trees

We believe that when students learn GIS, they can become leaders for their communities 💚🌱

Thank you also for guiding us toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals Data Alliance.
I will connect with the UN office in Pakistan Inshallah to explore partnership opportunities.

We would be very grateful for any guidance on ArcGIS for Education and community training resources
so we can reach more students across Balochistan.

Grateful for your belief in a Greener Balochistan!

With warm regards and big thanks,
BaratKhan
