Heritage Foundation, established in 1980, is a Pakistan-based, not-for-profit, social and cultural entrepreneur organization engaged in research, publication and conservation of Pakistan's cultural heritage. The Foundation has been instrumental in saving a large number of heritage treasures and, as UNESCO team leader 2003-2005, oversaw the stabilization of the endangered Shish Mahal ceiling of the Lahore Fort World Heritage site. Since 2000, its outreach arm KaravanPakistan has involved communities and youth in heritage safeguarding activities. As part of Heritage for Rehabilitation programme, work on several projects has been undertaken for rehabilitation of communities, particularly women, affected by the Great Earthquake 2005 in Northern Pakistan. The establishment of KaravanPakistan Institute for Research and Training (KIRAT) in 2008 has helped in carrying out research and training on varied aspects of the earthquake affected areas.Since May 2009, the Heritage Preservation Centre has become functional for identifying, cataloguing and documenting heritage assets in earthquake affected areas of Hazara and Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
