As part of this effort we run the Hatchery, an early stage Social Enterprise Incubator; the Social Innovation Consultancy (SIC) that offers M&E audits and impact assessment services to organisations dedicated to improving and measuring their footprint; Beyond the Buzz (BTB), a research wing that promulgates data-driven, evidence-based strategy & policy making; and SILSkills, a series of knowledge workshops and immersion programs that seek to benefit the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Pakistan.

To date, SIL, its consultants & incubated startups have together been able to impact over 3.8 million people across the globe. We hope to continue our efforts in promoting socially innovative organisations to work together to create a more equitable distribution of resources and a healthier society.
