It's a moment to recognize the profound impact of literacy on achieving sustainable development goals and to inspire global efforts to enhance literacy rates worldwide

Alkhidmat’s Educational Programs

Currently, Pakistan's literacy rate stands at 56 percent, indicating that nearly half of our population lacks basic literacy skills. An alarming 22 million children, mainly girls, are missing out on educational opportunities. Alkhidmat Foundation is rooted in the belief that every child deserves access to quality education, nourishment, and holistic development. Using our resources, we actively contribute to the futures of young scholars through our esteemed Alfalah Scholarship Program. This program addresses the needs of academically talented yet financially disadvantaged students at different educational stages. Moreover, our partnership with the Child Protection and Rehabilitation Trust (CPRT) includes establishing Child Protection Centers and Skills Development Centers. These initiatives reintegrate out-of-school children into the educational system by nurturing their interest in learning.
