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.
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.
Our secondary schools boast cutting-edge resources, including IT suites, science labs, and libraries, fostering a well-rounded education that values theoretical and practical learning.
Thanks to the development and investment into school communities and infrastructure, we’re witnessing a positive shift: more children are enrolling in school, fewer are dropping out, and an increasing number are graduating. Join us in this vital mission to empower the next generation through education.
