READ Foundation

Sobre nosotros

READ Foundation was established in 1994 as a not-for-profit organization to address the dire need for education and literacy in Pakistan. Pakistan is facing an educational crisis with more than 25 million children not being able to avail their constitutional right to a quality education. Education is the only tool which can enable the country to develop and progress amongst the community of nations. Realizing this problem, READ Foundation´s founders envisaged building a school system to serve the marginalized communities and underprivileged families.

Our Mission is helping society through quality-oriented, value-based and purposeful education and capacity building
