Over 250 cyclists participated in The Citizens Foundation (TCF) event ‘Cycle for Change’ this year to help raise funds to bring flood-affected children in Pakistan back to school. A significant number of cyclist groups participated from various parts of Karachi and gathered at TCF School Shirin Sultan Dossa Campus, Qayyumabad to advocate for quality education. This is the second year into this event owing to its huge success last year and it will be celebrated as an annual TCF Event.
The event was also attended by various sponsors and supporters including main sponsor, Careem Pakistan. Mr. Feroz Jaleel, Country Head Careem Pakistan stated; “we are immensely happy and overwhelmed to see that our colleagues and customers have donated wholeheartedly for the betterment of society. By leveraging the power of modern technology, we can together create a great impact in gathering donations for our affected fellow countrymen. Making a deeper impact is part of Careem’s DNA and we are blessed to have this opportunity in partnership with TCF.”
Currently, 3.5 million children in Pakistan are facing a learning disruption due to the flood crisis – worsening the education crisis in the country. Displacement, loss of family income and damage to the education infrastructure are forcing children to drop out of school; many are taking up work to support their families, while girls are at an increased risk of child marriages.
In order to address this challenge, TCF is proceeding with not just rebuilding the schools that got damaged, but is determined to bring these vulnerable children back to school and safeguard their future through quality education.
On an exciting Sunday morning, nine Pakistani athletes participated in the London Marathon to fundraise for The Citizens Foundation’s (TCF) Flood Relief Appeal.
A large number of London Marathon runners raise money and awareness for a particular charity each year. The nine runners that backed the TCF Flood Relief Appeal included Adnan Gandhi, Kaukab Sarwar, Hira Diwan, Muhammad Affan, Nadir Shera, Shanzé Shah, Fahd Mukhtar, Salman Khan and Ahmed Mustafa Khan. All runners were spotted wearing TCF t-shirts during the race.
The TCF team finished the race in less than 6 hours and together, these socially responsible London Marathon participants were able to raise over PKR 2.0 million from supporters globally for the TCF Flood Relief Appeal.
The TCF Flood Relief Appeal aims to provide 5 million meals and assist in the reconstruction of 9000 homes for flood-affected families in Pakistan once the flood waters recede. TCF is assisting communities in several ways to help stop school dropouts. After the floods, many communities have become displaced and lost their source of income, making it likely that the number of out-of-school children in Pakistan will increase. Others can join the cause and support TCF in its mission to support flood-affected communities by donating to the TCF Flood Relief Appeal.
The Governor House in Karachi was host to a special celebration to honor the organizations which make Karachi a vibrant and thriving city with their social welfare contribution. The closing ceremony of K-Electric’s ‘2nd KHI Awards’, an initiative endorsed by NEPRA and launched in collaboration with ‘I Am Karachi’ (#IAmKarachi).
With 40 winners from across 13 diverse categories – from Heritage & Culture to Sports, Social Service to Safety and more – were recognized for their efforts in driving societal change in Karachi as part of their core mission. The chief guest of the event was Governor Sindh Imran Ismail, while Chairman NEPRA Tauseef H. Farooqi, and Muhammad Azfar Ahsan, Minister of State & Chairman of Board of Investment (BOI) were guests of honor for the event.
Following the pandemic, businesses across the globe were faced with increased risk and instability regardless of their size, but the utility observed that the sector most affected was the one tasked with addressing societal problems. While new initiatives primarily focused on food security, improved hygiene, and securing livelihood, many actors addressing pertinent challenges beyond these areas were left out of the mix. The KHI Awards addresses this problem by providing an equitable and impartial avenue through which winners are awarded grants of PKR 40 million in the form of rebates on electricity bills.
While highlighting the importance of Karachi, Governor Sindh Imran Ismail stated that; “Karachi’s dynamism is a key driver of national growth, and we must all play our role to continue enriching its vibrancy”.
Governor Sindh further said that; “the federal government had taken series of initiatives for the overall development of Karachi. In addition to Greenline BRT service, federal government pays special focus on development of the port city to overcome related challenges faced by the citizens”.
Appreciating the KHI Awards, Imran Ismail said; “these awards have emerged as a perfect forum for encouragement for the organizations working to uplift the society at large”.
While lauding other initiatives of the power utility he further said; “another project of K-Electric that needs to be encouraged is Roshni Baji, through which women are empowered by becoming safety ambassadors and going door to door for electrical safety awareness. other organizations to come up with similar initiatives to provide relief to the community and to bring betterment to the society”.
Muhammad Azfar Ahsan, Minister of State & Chairman Board of Investment (BOI) during his address at the event said; “we must appreciate K-Electric as it honors those organizations today which are playing a critical role in bringing betterment to the city and remain committed to making it more liveable and sustainable. Karachi being the economic hub of the country has tremendous potential to attract further foreign investment, improved state of the city however, remains a pre-requisite. Therefore, we need to make collective efforts to address this city’s challenges and prioritize its progress on every fronts”.
Chairman National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) Tauseef H. Farooqi congratulated the winners and appreciated KE’s initiative. Addressing the audience, he said; “it is commendable to see that KE is finding innovative ways to take ownership of the communities it serves. We have to understand that creating meaningful relationships with customers and the environment is necessary to drive sustainable progress. This is why NEPRA introduced the ‘Power with Prosperity’ vision to galvanize the power sector, and we have seen sizable investment and job creation across Pakistan through CSR efforts.”
Launched in December 2021, the 2nd edition of the awards saw hundreds of applications that were screened through an extensive and rigorous evaluation process. An independent jury of 15 members, including notable names like Shehzad Roy, Sidra Iqbal, Jehan Ara, and others, led by Saad Amanullah Khan, founder and current president of I Am Karachi’ (#IAmKarachi).
Saad Amanullah Khan, President of the KHI Awards jury, was also delighted at the event, stating; “It has been a pleasure to be part of the KHI Awards for the second year running. Not only did we receive a higher number of applications this year compared to last, the quality and innovation of the projects proposed by the applicants also demonstrate the commitment they have towards Karachi. We are very pleased to present this year’s winners who are impacting millions of people with their services and look forward to growing the KHI Awards further.”
Chief Executive Officer of K-Electric Moonis Alvi was also elated at the occasion, stating; “at KE, we believe in going beyond the provision of power to Karachi; we are committed to building great societies. For cities like Karachi, this is not a simple task and requires the contribution of hundreds of large and small organizations working around the clock. With the KHI Awards, we want to extend our support and create a platform that can lead the change in this megalopolis we call home. I am grateful to our auditors and our jury members for ensuring transparency and credibility in the process, and the Honorable Governor Sindh and Chairman NEPRA for joining us in this celebration.”
Famous Pakistani drama writer and lyricist, Anwar Maqsood also took the centre stage and enthralled the audience with his dry humor and witticism. Celebrated Pakistani pop singer Shahzad Roy who was also the jury member at 2nd KHI Awards, rocked the events by singing a song which was composed for and dedicated to the welfare organizations operating in Karachi.
Winners of the awards also shared their excitement. Dr. Sher Shah from Zafar and Atia Foundation Charitable Trust thanked K-Electric and said; “through initiatives like KHI Awards, KE has emerged as a truly caring organization which believes in investing in social impact projects and recognizes the value of such investments for the community.”

The Citizens Foundation (TCF), perhaps the largest network of independently run schools in the world, is set to be featured at the Expo 2020 Dubai’s Global Best Practices Programme in December 2021.
This week as the Expo 2020 Dubai celebrates the ‘Knowledge and Learning Week’, we will see many organizations such as TCF highlighting best practices in education to achieve Sustainable Development Goals.
The Citizen’s Foundation is a leading non-profit working to provide quality education in Pakistan’s most neglected rural and slum communities where we find children, especially girls, out of school. Pakistan is the world’s sixth most populous country and has the second-highest number of out-of-school children in the world. These children in Pakistan often face deep-rooted structural inequalities that are most often linked to gender biases, poverty and lack of access to quality schools.
What started as a discussion among 6 friends to correct their country’s trajectory, has now become a national movement and a global best practice. TCF has evolved a model to deliver quality education at scale. It runs 1,687 schools in 62 districts across Pakistan. Currently it has an enrollment of 275,000 students, of which nearly 50% are girls.
“When we started TCF we wanted to ensure that girls received an equal opportunity to study. That is why we make sure that all TCF schools are within walking distance to communities. We also hire only female teachers to encourage parents to send their daughters to school,” says Ateed Riaz, Co-founder and Chairman of The Citizens Foundation.
Hiring only female teachers has made TCF one of the largest private employers of women in Pakistan with a faculty of 12,950 women. TCF not only provides transportation to these teachers to and from the schools but also conducts a rigorous training of over 120 hours annually to develop their capabilities and ensure quality education in its classrooms.
“Ensuring that we make a lasting impact in the lives of our students, we decided to provide support beyond just school years,” says TCF’s CEO Asaad Ayub Ahmad. “TCF provides ongoing support to its Alumni through scholarships and its Alumni Development Programme where it helps students obtain admissions in universities”. To date 50,500 students have graduated from TCF Schools and this year 733 TCF alumni have received admission in the top universities in Pakistan.
Today, TCF alumni are serving as agents of positive change and inspiring change in their communities. One such alumna is Dr. Sidra Saleem, daughter of a daily-wage laborer, who grew up in a slum in Karachi. Sidra is now a Doctor of Neurology in Toledo, Ohio and is in her second year of medical residency. She is just one of thousands of TCF alumni who beat all odds and are on the path to success through quality education.
For 26 years, TCF is working to transform the children of Pakistan into agents of positive change. TCF remains committed to its mission and magnifying its impact by reaching 2 million agents of positive change by the year 2030. It aims to do this by continuing to expand the formal schooling programmes, supporting alumni through higher education, providing structured interventions for basic literacy and life skills to communities outside the context of formal schooling and nurture and expand partnerships with provincial governments and social enterprises to confront the massive education crisis faced by Pakistan.

In a kindergarten classroom in Islamkot, a tehsil (township) in the Tharparkar Desert in Sindh, a child named Mehtab eagerly writes his name in English on the blackboard. He does a perfect job – carefully forming each letter of his name and then reading it loudly. However, it is not until the research team rubs off the last two letters of his name and asks him to read, that he gives them a blank stare. Mehtab has rote learned his name, just as he is expected to rote memorize his textbooks.
This meaningless memorization of information happens in classrooms across Pakistan, where children’s language and cultural context is not taken into consideration. It has led to a crisis – one where children who regularly attend school can’t read or write a simple sentence in any language albeit being in school for several years.
In an attempt to address this issue, The Citizens Foundation (TCF) and the Thar Foundation have published a research report called “Finding Identity, Equity, and Economic Strength by Teaching in Languages Children Understand.”
This research report proposes how Pakistan, which has over 70 native languages, and countries with similar challenges across the world can incorporate ‘mother tongue based multilingual education’ into their education systems. The term “Mother tongue” refers to the language that children first learn at home and have a good understanding of when they first come to school. “Multilingual” refers to the expectation that children will learn several languages during their education – in Pakistan, these are regional languages like Sindhi and Pashto as well as Urdu and English.
The report reflects three years of work in Tharparkar, Pakistan, interviews with over 130 practitioners, policymakers, and academics worldwide, and cataloguing of language policies in similarly diverse countries. It adds to the literature on MTB-MLE by solving for contexts where there are many mother tongue languages and where children are expected to learn up to four languages, including English, by the end of secondary school.
Mr. Ateed Riaz, Chairman and Co-Founder of TCF shared, “If you walk into a TCF school, you’ll notice that children are confident – they are bright-eyed, engaged with teachers and the lessons in their textbooks. They will tell you what they think, even before you ask. This is because TCF has encouraged the use of Urdu and familiar languages in its schools since inception. Children express themselves well if they are allowed to use a familiar language. Conversely, they face difficulties when forced to use a foreign language, like English – a language they hardly hear or use outside of school. We are grateful to the Thar Foundation for supporting us in this significant research project.”
Testing a tailored MTB-MLE Programme in Tharparkar Desert, Sindh: In early 2020, both TCF and Thar Foundation schools implemented this research-based MTB MLE model in 21+ classrooms in Tharparkar, starting with pre-kindergarten and kindergarten. Students in these classrooms will transition through fluency in three or four languages over the course of their education: from diverse mother tongue languages (Dhatki and Sindhi) to the regional language (Sindhi), then the national language (Urdu), and then to an international language (English). All higher education in Pakistan is in English, making English a necessity.
Syed Abul Fazal Rizvi, CEO of the Thar Foundation shared, “Thar Foundation is striving to impart quality education in Tharparkar through our 27 school units since past 3 years now. It was the community feedback that motivated us to initiate three-languages learning model in our schools. Thar Foundation and TCF jointly took this initiative, wherein the Thar Foundation funded the 3-year project. We are extremely delighted that students of Thar will now learn in Sindhi / Dhatki at early grades, subsequently adding Urdu and English. TCF has plans to extend this model to all its schools in Sindh which will be a shared pride for us.”
Unlike a lot of research that precedes this study, TCF does not just insist on mother tongue based approach to education. Instead, it provides pragmatic recommendations for how Pakistan, and countries like it, can provide mother tongue based education in contexts where there are many languages and where children are expected to learn up to four languages, including English, by the end of secondary school.

TCF has been declared the winner of the “Best Presented Annual Report” for the fourth time. Previously, it has received the Runner-up award and Certificate of Merit multiple times.
“TCF has always been committed to the highest standards of ethical principles, governance and transparency in its disclosures,” said Syed Asaad Ayub Ahmad, President and CEO, TCF. “We give it all to ensure that our donors and other stakeholders know how much donations are being raised and how they are being utilized for various programmes within TCF.”
Established in 1995, “TCF is perhaps the largest network of independently run schools in the world.” as quoted by “The Economist.” It is educating 266,000 deserving students across its network of 1,625 schools in Pakistan where girls make up 50% of the classroom.
Sidra Iqbal has been a constant beacon of light for youngsters in Pakistan. Not only is she one of the most celebrated TV personality, but the ambitious journalist is also an Ambassador for one of the largest privately owned networks of low-cost formal schools in Pakistan; The Citizens Foundation. Sidra is also the Youth Ambassador for I-Hope program and actively champions causes of substance that empowers the youth to make a positive difference.
Sidra hosted a TV show “Aaj Pakistan with Sidra Iqbal” that aims to bring the real issues to centre stage. The show invites policy makers, decision influencers and the civil society for meaningful dialogue. Recently the Federal Minister of Education, Mr. Shafqat Mehmood featured in an exclusive conversation about academic planning and policies in Pakistan.
The present government completed two years and it was a perfect occasion to take stock of the national educational framework. More than 20 million children of school going age are out of school in Pakistan. The Higher Education provision capacity in the country is worse than Sub-Saharan Africa. Yet, the Pakistan continues to produce global distinction holders and academic high achievers in every domain. One wonders how enormous is the true potential of our youth that remains unexplored.
The Covid-19 pandemic forcing schools to close, the private school’s fees hike and the latest Cambridge A Levels Results 2020 controversy were pressing issues in the background of this conversation. These prompted Sidra to ask the Federal Minister candid and critical questions.
While going into depth about the problems faced when applying to professional colleges and universities in Pakistan, Sidra pointed out how intermediate students have an advantage, in comparison to A-level students, due to a difference in the grading system. Other significant issue raised was the safety of students on campus and the frequent student suicide occurrences.
Taking up the cause of education in Pakistan, Sidra Iqbal has identified several flaws or pending improvements in the education sector, including the tedious access to education and the need for more effective coordination between the federal and provincial education ministries; which are inhibiting the nation from moving forward adequately. Being involved in both local and international forums, Sidra has pledged to help children pursue their dreams and opportunities, through educating them and improving access to schools.
Sidra has not only taken up the cause of Educating Pakistan, but has emphasised time and time again on her program as well as social media platform how ‘pursuits of higher should polish your best talents’ attesting to her belief that ‘Quality Education includes a safe and enriching environment to empower the youth’.
As university admissions begin throughout the country, deserving graduates from The Citizens Foundation (TCF) schools from all over Pakistan are making their way to some of the top-tier higher education institutions of the country.
The Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) and Institute of Business Administration (IBA) announced their admission results this month. 4 TCF alumni secured admission and scholarship under the LUMS – National Outreach Programme, while 8 TCF graduates made it to IBA on scholarship as part of its National Talent Hunt Programme. Other renowned universities where TCF graduates have successfully gained admissions include – Institute of Business Management (IoBM), Habib University and SZABIST. Over the next few months, as more universities conduct their entrance tests, TCF is expecting that many more of its graduates will be offered admissions and scholarships at other private and government universities as well as colleges.
“To break the barriers of class and privilege, low-income students must make it to good universities and colleges. TCF, for the past 25 years, is making strides toward this goal,” TCF’s President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Syed Asaad Ayub Ahmad said while commenting on this achievement of TCF graduates. “We are so proud that our alumni are attending some of the top-ranked educational institutions of the country,” he added further.
Right now, 100% of TCF alumni who get enrolled in undergraduate colleges are first-generation learners – the first in their family to go to college! For all of them, it means the chance to change the trajectory of their entire families’ and community’s future.
