Sustainable Giving to Educate Children and
Empower Women

The Citizens Foundation (TCF)
TCF’s vision is to remove barriers of class and privilege to make the
citizens of Pakistan agents of positive change
Starting with 5 volunteer-run schools in 1995, grown to 1,000 schools in
100+ towns and cities
Over 145,000 students nationwide, aged 4 to 17 years
Focus on Woman empowerment, with close to 50% female students
All female faculty of 7,700 teachers; kept abreast with new trends in
teaching techniques and use of Khan Academy’s educational videos
Over 11,500 jobs created throughout the country
2

We believe access to quality education is every child’s birthright, no matter
which country in the world
3 out of 10 children aged 5-9 years in Pakistan are not in school - the 2nd
highest number of out-of-school children in the world
Only a small percent of adult females are literate, with little or no prospects
for modest employment
10.9% of schools are without a proper building, 37.7% without a boundary wall,
33.9% without water, 59.6% without electricity and there is frequent
absenteeism among teachers
Why TCF?

“TCF spends 40 percent less per pupil
than state schools do, but manages to
provide incomparably better
education. Here in the most-populous
province of Punjab, for example,
nearly 100 percent of Citizens
Foundation pupils pass government
exams, while over the last four years
state schools have averaged a 44
percent pass rate.”
“TCF was started by Pakistani
businessmen concerned about
their country, and it builds
terrific schools for needy
children there.”
