Introduction
After successfully implementing its IT education program in Karachi, Bano Qabil aims to equip youth across Pakistan with advanced IT skills, empowering them to launch entrepreneurial ventures and pursue freelancing careers.
Bano Qabil program comprises hi-tech, in-demand courses designed in collaboration with both academia and industry. These courses are endorsed by prominent IT trade bodies and associations including P@SHA and the Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB). The program also collaborates with leading tech universities for technical guidance and support.
Selected students can enroll in one of the following three-month courses: Web Development, App Development, Digital Marketing, Graphic Design, Freelancing, or Amazon FBA Virtual Assistance. Upon completion of their courses, a new cycle will begin every six months.
The Bano Qabil initiative will significantly benefit talented students by acquainting them with the latest technologies and jump-starting their careers. Additionally, it prepares them for self-employment through freelancing platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, Designhill, Freelancer, and 99designs, fostering their financial independence.
As of now, 50 campuses with fully equipped labs are operating at full capacity across various locations in Karachi, Lahore, and Peshawar. Approximately thirty thousand students have already benefited from their chosen courses, while hundreds of thousands of young people are waiting for their turn.
Upon completing the Bano Qabil courses, many students have secured internships with renowned software houses, marketing agencies, and other industries. A substantial number have received job offers, while others have launched their own startups through our Incubation Labs. This project has not only transformed the lives of young people and their families but has also made a notable contribution to the national economy.
Considering the vast career opportunities in the IT and freelancing industries and the lack of learning opportunities in Pakistan, the Bano Qabil program is being launched nationwide, expanding to 25 cities from Gilgit to Gwadar and Larkana to Abbottabad.
The cascading effect of this program on the IT industry and the nation's economy is significant. It would address the current shortage of skilled human resources that restricts the country's IT industry. Additionally, it would facilitate the influx of much-needed foreign currency as local IT companies secure global projects and freelancers transfer their earnings back home.
For a nation grappling with a net trade deficit, dismal employment figures, and perpetually depleted foreign exchange reserves, the Bano Qabil program promises to be a game-changer. It aims to transform the lives of Pakistani youth by making them skillful, educated, and empowered.
Bano Qabil offers equal opportunities to male and female learners, ensuring no discrimination based on creed, gender, or ethnicity.

As-salaam alaikum!
As Director Bano Qabil, I feel privileged to invite you to our website and give you an overview of this ground-breaking initiative.
Alkhidmat Karachi’s Bano Qabil initiative has its roots in Rebuild Karachi, a socio-economic movement spearheaded by Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman that aims to stem the decline and deterioration of Pakistan’s leading city, Karachi, as a result of long years of governmental apathy and neglect.
In its quest to resolve one of the most pressing problems – unemployment – Alkhidmat’s management has devised ‘Bano Qabil’, a unique, amazing and first-of-its-kind program to provide 100% free, advanced, in-demand technical skills to thousands of young students, both boys and girls, with the aim of empowering them and providing them an opportunity to establish a rewarding career and achieve financial independence.
A revolutionary step for the citizens of this city, Bano Qabil is now a widely acknowledged and unprecedented success. With thousands having registered for the program’s accredited and technology-packed courses, and a projected post-course employment rate of 90% plus those who plan to freelance, Bano Qabil has far exceeded the wildest estimates of even its most optimistic well-wishers.
I invite you to proceed to learn more about this amazing, game-changing effort that promises to change the future of our great country!
