Mechanism for Rational Change (MRC), established in 2015 under the Societies Registration Act, is a legally registered, women-led nonprofit organization based in Khuzdar, Balochistan, Pakistan. Since its inception, MRC has been dedicated to empowering women, children, and youth through initiatives in education, leadership development, entrepreneurship, mental health awareness, climate action, and skill enhancement.
MRC’s unique working approach focuses on practicing ideas before scaling them. Through its model institution, the School of Scholars—the first girls’ school in Khuzdar introducing STEM and leadership education—MRC pilots programs at a community level before developing long-term projects. The organization also leads community-driven advocacy and capacity-building initiatives that promote gender equality, entrepreneurship, education access, and social justice.
Recognized for its impactful and transparent work, MRC partners with Women Fund Asia (WFA), the U.S. Consulate Karachi, the Malala Fund, Science Fuse, and the Shaoor Foundation, collectively creating sustainable change, empowerment, and hope across Balochistan.
