“I am worried about children who are not going to school in Pakistan, but I am more worried about the children who are going to school, spending ten years and not developing any critical thinking. This deficiency ultimately hinders the prospects of fostering innovation and pioneering inventions within the nation.”

Shehzad Roy

Starting with this thought by the Founder of Zindagi Trust, I would like to bring to light the issue about education not being enlightening in this era and just knowledge being loaded on to donkeys without them having to think on their own and make decisions that could impact their future. Under this approach, Zindagi Trust make its way to the front as a positive ray of hope in Karachi which is one of the busiest metropolitan city of Pakistan. Karachi is filled with issues like poverty, inequality, living in slums and these issues cast a powerful shadow resulting in the lesser development of the education system. This non-profit NGO Zindagi Trust was founded in 2002 by Shehzad Roy who is a singer and a leading social activist. He started this organization with the goal of changing Pakistan’s educational system, making it available for those who cant afford it. He has shown strong dedication on this subject and has a huge fan following who support his cause. Roy uses the his media presence to spread the word that education plays a vital role in determining what the course of an individual or a nation will be and he is quite successful in doing that through his media campaigns, public appearances and collaborations.

This blog post examines the amazing work done by Zindagi Trust and the significant influence it has had on the lives of many kids all throughout the nation. The organization has a clear objective, that everybody deserves equal opportunity when it comes to education, regardless of their socio-economic circumstances. This organization views this the issue of not being able to receive education as a result of poverty, therefore, it is essential to end this viscous cycle of poverty and promote a constructive social change.

The main focus of the organization are the government schools in the slum areas of the city. The organization has been working hard to make quality education accessible and give all the skills the kids need so that they can create a better future for themselves. families.

It is prudent to explain here that the improvement of the public education system is just one of its many projects. The NGO has been involved in reforming government schools especially in the slum areas of Karachi through structural modifications. Zindagi Trust has developed partnerships with educators and municipal authorities over years and it aims to further innovative teaching approaches, modernize facilities and also improve the learning environment as a whole. The main objective that is being tried to be achieved is to create a supportive environment for the kids to flourish intellectually and emotionally.

One of the very important and well known projects of the organization is the “I Am Paid to Learn” program. This program is a flagship effort which especially focuses on making education available for working children. A working child is encouraged to come to school despite experiencing financial difficulties by giving them some money as an incentive.

The organization is well aware of the fact that it is extremely critical to stay up to date with the changing world of education. Incorporating technology and interactive learning resources in the curriculum, the organization actively supports the cutting edge teaching techniques that are presently dominating the education system in the world. This initiative of the organization ensures that education can not only be made approachable but also interesting and pertinent.

Zindagi Trust is working profusely to ensure that education has a transformational potential and when proper structural reforms are made, the issues of educational disparity can be handled with efficiency and a fairer education system can be developed in Pakistan.

Long Live Pakistan!
