Care Foundation Pakistan

Years back, a natural disaster struck Sheikhupura, a district in Punjab Pakistan which resulted in a great suffer and loss. Many volunteers, donors and soft hearted people left their homes and reached the sufferers to help them recover and survive. Among those volunteers was Seema Aziz. She together with fellow active citizens traveled to the stricken areas and helped the affected population reconstruct their homes with her time, resources and her bare hands. During the course of her work, Seema realized that this area lacked a proper school. In conversations with the local community, it became clear that there was a dire need for a school to educate the alarming number of children roaming freely during the day. In January 1991, CARE opened its doors to a school in Iqbal Town on Sheikhupura Road. On the first day, 250 children lined up outside the school, unkempt and barely clothed, but curious and eager to learn.

This was a great step taken by that lady which was indeed difficult to maintain with such a great response. She was happy that now she can educate the children but was also worried as she had limited resources. Many Active citizens, sponsors and donors helped by contributing and join her in this noble cause. Today, CARE runs 240 schools providing high quality education to approximately 160,000 students. Starting in 1998, CARE entered a public-private partnership with the City District Government of Lahore to adopt 10 schools in the city of Lahore. CARE performance in Lahore has led to multiple agreements to adopt government schools in districts across Pakistan. Today, CARE runs adopted government schools in Punjab and Sindh with plans being made to enter Baluchistan.

Care not only educate the under privileged children but also provide jobs to the educated and unemployed youth by engaging them in their teaching programs and hiring them as their team members. In this way they are fulfilling their social responsibility. Care has a very strategic system. They hire the youth in the colleges and universities and offer them the part time teaching jobs. They also organize camps and activities in various areas and events. Their research and planning team keep on finding the areas where even a single child is deprived of education due to lack of resources. They approach them and teach them.
