PeaceNiche, a not-for-profit NGO, is committed to becoming a vibrant centre of Pakistan’s developing civil society. PeaceNiche is a social entrepreneurship project that blends the best of business practice with the non-profit urge to make meaning rather than focusing purely on the bottom line.

The Second Floor (T2F) is the first project of PeaceNiche. A community platform for open dialogue, T2F features a coffeehouse, events space, bookshop, and exhibition gallery. T2F also provides citizens with a platform for social change through rich cultural activities, public discourse, and activism using the new media.

Coffeehouse tradition is all about sparking conversations - and we’re passionate about providing a platform for people to engage with each other. Through regular events such as poetry readings, book signings, workshops, talks, debates, film screenings, unplugged music sessions, and stand-up comedy, we hope to get people to think, question, and take action.
