Our Mission

The question of educational backwardness in our country has been an important element of political and social rhetoric since independence. Rural areas & suburbs are amongst the most backward in the field of education and literacy. This fact is astonishing for those, who know that the very first declaration of the Holy Quran i.e., ‘IQRA’ (to READ) is about ‘education’. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) termed education as a basic obligation for every individual male and female, the very first time in the history of mankind. READ’s vision and mission is that each member of the community must have free access to education and basic health facilities, thus achieving sustainable development to alleviate poverty from the community. Social welfare development services is like building bricks that can build the whole nation on strong footings.

Our Vision

The imperative concerted action by the state is debatable, however the task of ensuring basic education and literacy to every child, youth and adult requires voluntary efforts to collaborate and contribute. READ endeavours to play effective role in assisting to complement the public education system, improving its effectiveness through research-based programmes. It holds periodical surveys. A recent survey has shown that the experimental approaches successfully tackle many shortcomings in schooling. The effectiveness of our working is due to the application of successful strategy for underprivileged children, women & communities in remote locations that face social barriers to acquire education.

READ empowers women through computer literacy. Our dedicated centre teaches MS Office, Inpage, and Photoshop, equipping women with skills to improve their income and career opportunities.

For nearly fifteen years, READ has been working in Pakistan's education sector, providing quality learning opportunities, resources, and support to underprivileged children and women.

Women can use their knowledge and skills to help increase the income of their families and develop their organizations grow and further contributing to the society.
