Christian NGO in Quetta | One Vision Society
Welcome to One Vision Society Quetta, where our mission is to uplift communities in Quetta, Balochistan, through compassionate service and the sharing of the Good News. With three church branches across Quetta, including Quetta Cantt, Quetta City, and Nawa Killi Quetta, we’re dedicated to reaching out to non-developed areas, providing clean drinking water, and spreading the message of hope through Jesus Christ. Join us as we delve into the rich history of Quetta and our commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of its residents.
History of Quetta:
Quetta, the capital city of Balochistan province, is steeped in history and resilience. Situated at the crossroads of South and Central Asia, Quetta has served as a melting pot of cultures and civilizations for centuries. The name “Quetta” is believed to be derived from the Pashto word “Kwatkot,” meaning “fortress,” reflecting the city’s strategic significance throughout history.
The region around Quetta has been inhabited since ancient times, with evidence of human settlements dating back to the Stone Age. Over the centuries, Quetta has been ruled by various dynasties, including the Persians, Greeks, Arabs, and Mughals, each leaving their mark on the city’s cultural landscape.
In the 19th century, Quetta emerged as a key military outpost under British rule, serving as a gateway to British India from Afghanistan and Central Asia. The city’s strategic location made it a focal point of the Great Game, the geopolitical rivalry between the British and Russian empires in Central Asia.
During the partition of British India in 1947, Quetta became part of Pakistan, leading to an influx of refugees from neighboring regions. Despite the challenges of independence and subsequent conflicts, Quetta has continued to thrive as a center of commerce, education, and culture in Balochistan.
