Our OOSC & Underprivileged Children Programs
The number of out-of-school children in Pakistan has crossed 23 million, despite claims of government of reforms in the education sector. Most OOSC are poor, being the only bread earners of their families. Non-governmental organizations have started speed-learning programs in Pakistan, but lack of resources has helped only a few thousand children.
