Savera Society, a local NGO, with the assistance of the UNHCR has been involved in planning and implementing various interventions for different groups of vulnerable urban refugees in the country (both Afghan and non-Afghan), since 1992. The project of Counseling and Assistance to the Vulnerable Urban Refugees has been providing support to both groups of refugees i.e., those registered and referred by the UNHCR as well as un-registered. The project assesses the needs of the refugees and addresses their problems by providing counseling, basic financial subsistence, medical and psychological preventive and curative support, primary education and facilitation for self-reliance, awareness-raising etc. Besides ensuring a basic subsistence and survival to the refugees, its particular contribution is towards addressing the problems related to gender and age-based violence among the refugee communities. The project has been specifically focused on prevention (through awareness raising) and rehabilitation of survivors of violence including domestic violence and violence at workplace specifically against child labour. The project is also involved in identification and immediate protection of un-accompanied minors.

SHARP as an implementing partner of UNHCR register all the refugees and asylum seekers approaching UNHCR for protection.

After registration their cases are submitted to UNHCR for RSD interview and further necessary action.

In the year 2002 when the repatriation of Afghan Refuges was about to start, it was intended to help returnees in their Legal and Protection issues, thus removing impediments to their voluntary return. It was designed to provide returnees / refugees information about the country of their origin, process of voluntary repatriation and any other advice regarding their stay in the host country. Resultantly SHARP was given the task of establishing Advice and Legal Aid Centers at Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Mianwali. All these centers are actively rendering services and so far thousands of refugees have benefited from these centers by seeking advice and legal aid. In 2005, SHARP opened a new office                                                           in Lahore and extended its services to the Afghans community living in and around Lahore.
