Empowering communities, enriching lives since 1986.

Pakistan Lions Youth Council conducts development interventions that improve the lives and well-being of marginalised and vulnerable communities across Punjab and beyond.

Our story

Four decades of grassroots development work

Pakistan Lions Youth Council (PLYC) was formed in 1986 and formally registered in 1993 as a non-profit organisation, with the objective of conducting meaningful development interventions that improve the lives and well-being of marginalised and vulnerable communities.

The core attributes of the organisation are its geographical outreach, its partnerships with a wide range of stakeholders, and a multi-sectoral approach that treats education, health, climate resilience, and water as connected problems rather than separate programmes.

PLYC also provides consultancy services — proposal design, report writing, research studies and surveys, and training and capacity building — supporting partner organisations across the development sector.
