    The role of philanthropic initiatives in school rehabilitations post 2005 earthquake
    (UMT Lahore, 2024-10-11) Hamad Bin Khalid
    This research explores the role of philanthropic initiatives in the rehabilitation of schools in Bagh, Azad Kashmir, following the 2005 earthquake. The purpose of the study is to assess how these initiatives have contributed to restoring educational infrastructure and enhancing educational quality in the region. Despite substantial efforts, there is a notable research gap concerning the specific challenges faced and strategies employed by philanthropic organizations in this context. Conducted as a qualitative study, the research employed semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of NGOs, school representatives, community members, and other stakeholders. A self-constructed questionnaire was used to gather detailed insights, and thematic analysis was applied to identify key themes and patterns from the data. The findings reveal significant improvements in school facilities, including modern amenities that have enriched the learning environment. However, challenges such as logistical difficulties, bureaucratic delays, financial constraints, and quality control issues were prominent. Community engagement emerged as a critical success factor, yet the study also highlighted unintended economic impacts and the need for more effective coordination among philanthropic organizations. These outcomes provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of philanthropic efforts on post-disaster school rehabilitation and offer practical recommendations for future initiatives.
