Effective Management Style
The following are some of the salient features of the effective management style of Batool Welfare Trust®.
Monitoring and Control
The finances are exclusively controlled by Miss Nazia Batool. The accounts are managed by accountants based in Rawalpindi. These accounts are audited every year.
Strict control is exercised in collection of cash donations. BWT issues receipts in duplicate to the donor for all cash donations. The donor is given a stamped addressed envelope which he uses for sending one of the two receipts to BWT head office in Rawalpindi. This provides an effective control on workers receiving cash donations at various centers.
For expenditures, administrators of BWT fill in an expense sheet every week from which an expense summary report is prepared for every activity.
The summary reports together with expense vouchers are sent to Head Office every week. These reports are scrutinised by the Head of Administration. Final verification is done by Miss Nazia Batool who makes payment by cheques.
At BWT, every effort is made to spend all contributions on the needy people directly. A very nominal expenditure of the Foundation is towards administration.
Education and Training
BWT offers education, which is an integral part of every citizen. It offers a chance to express their thought, views and feeling efficiently before others to nourish the personality of children in a better way and teach art of living such as good health, personal hygienic, habits, built up basic skills, learn self discipline and be obedience to others, earnings in correct and caustic way, rights and duty, responsibility, relationship and recreation.
It is an irony for developing nation like Pakistan, where majority of children are growing in the deprived environment that affects their personality development. Most of the students are oppressed by poverty and hence unable to rise to the level of self confidence and sense of purposes. But BWT is offering education for these children to bring them from their deprived environment and make them successful person. BWT has taken sincere efforts to offer education, employment training, and opening the door by giving training to get the job either in self employment or concerned private firms of others.
Resources
Problems faced by the developed and the developing countries in the area of welfare services demand radically different approaches. Whereas, the developed countries are putting the responsibility primarily on the government, the developing countries are struggling to mobilize their own resources or look for foreign assistance for this purpose.
At best, it is to be hoped that there could be co-ordinated efforts between the private and the public sector for provision of the needed welfare services through the most economical and effective use of financial, human and technical resources.
How BWT generates resources?
Membership
Volunteer Base
BWT is run entirely with the help of volunteers. There are around 1600 Number Volunteers, comprising of workers at several BWT projects, clerks, surveyors and health professional. Although these Volunteers get subsistence allowance for their services, the compensation is not in the form of salary.
This compensation system is also beneficial for the volunteers who can add to their income by putting in more hours besides their other regular jobs. |

This compensation system is also beneficial for the volunteers who can add to their income by putting in more hours besides their other regular jobs.
In addition to the paid volunteers, there are many others who offer their services without any payment or reward, and participate in social work on full time or part time basis. Such voluntary work takes many forms. The awareness promoting campaigns are served by doctors and other professionals. Legal and financial services are often available on gratis basis. Volunteers collect and deliver food, clothing, medicines and other necessary supplies.
BWT has no problem in enlisting social workers for its help in its various activities. People from every profession and walk of life offer their services free of charge. Since most of the Volunteers belong to the lower and middle class, it is easier for them to identify with the needs of the people. For enrolling Volunteers preference is given to school teachers, health workers and youngsters wishing to dedicate some hours of their day to work in rural areas. The under lying idea behind this approach is to reach the masses in rural set-up avoiding sectarian and political controversies making the system more radical and direct.
Despite all these difficulties, BWT workers display real and positive motivation. They all seem to draw satisfaction from their work and take pride in their being part of a pioneering team in a challenging field. |
