Build a school with Read Foundation
READ Foundation is dedicated to transforming the lives of thousands of vulnerable children worldwide by building new schools. Yet, this monumental task cannot be achieved without your support.
Recent studies indicate that nearly 22.8 million children in Pakistan, aged 5 to 16, are not in school, accounting for almost half of the children in this age group.
Accessible Learning for a better future
By constructing schools in Pakistan, we aim to make education accessible to all children. Each new school is thoughtfully designed to meet the specific needs of its community. Our facilities accommodate hundreds of students and emphasise good hygiene and sanitation, adhering to the highest humanitarian standards. These schools offer safety and stability for children facing challenging circumstances, allowing them to break free from the shackles of poverty.

How You Can Help
The key activities involved in building a school in Pakistan include several phases: collaborating with local partners to secure land and contract builders for construction, implementing an enrolment strategy targeting 30-35 children per grade from Play Group to Grade 2, and building a qualified 12-member team, including five female teachers requiring specialized training. The process includes procurement of furniture, educational materials, and equipment, ensuring registration with district and provincial authorities and adherence to Pakistan’s National Curriculum Guidelines. A rigorous teacher development programme features 6-day pre-service training and annual 3-day refresher courses at the start of each school year. Regular assessment and reporting by the project supervisor will incorporate feedback from school staff, parents, and relevant authorities.
