Integrated People (IP) is a social initiative that was initially started up by two college students from
They shared their idea with the founder kiran foundation, Sabina Khatri and from there is took off as a brand line for the women artisans of Lyari, mostly being mothers of the kiran school in Lyari. The products were designed to enable a market-test at Penn State University, University of Central Florida, American University of Sharjah, and University of Toronto. The products are also being experimented in the local market through exhibitions. Integrated People has also experimented with extending its reach into disaster relief areas. Our first experiment in this sub-section involved 2000 bracelets made out of plastic bags at tent-cities setup outside of Karachi after the 2010 floods. The plastic bags in which majority of the donations arrived to these camps usually end up littering the fields, where as at our pilot locations, there was not a single plastic bag to be seen, while the victims returned home with some cash-in-hand. Amongst our top designers are Sara Khatri and Zaharia Khatri. Awareness - Encourage people to check out this page as well as our website. Financial - To help fund this initiative we ultimately need money to fund the various logistics for this global solution.
