The founders bring together a pool of decades of significant activist experience combined with professional knowledge in education, governance, ethnography, psychology, folklore, progressive pedagogy, management and the dynamics of social movements.

The founders are mostly seasoned activists who have either started organizations of their own in the past or have played a significant role in various social movements on women's issues, Human Rights, peace, democracy and motivating youth. The rich and varied background of the group is conducive to creating a new type of experiential learning that has not been seen before in Pakistan.

The institute and all the facilities of Mehergarh are totally contributed by the core members of the Center as a part of their commitment to the cause. Some of Mehergarh’s programs are run completely on a voluntary basis. However, modest resources might be sought for other programs.
