Speaking on the occasion, CEO and Founder TME Dr. Chaudhry Faisal Mushtaq said that an estimated 22.5 million children are out of school, and the majority of them are girls which is an alarming situation as this number would drop further if we don’t do anything now. Being human is given, but humanity is a choice and that`s what we need to teach our children.

Engagement in these activities will provide them with a practical lifetime experience and shall fuel their need for self-actualization.
He further added that learners will also get a chance to explore that the actions and work that they shall do as a part of the community engagement program does, make an impact in society. This shall further expand their perspective about the world and develop empathy and leadership skills.
Addressing the audience, Executive Director PAGE Fajer Rabia Pasha emphasized that this dynamic partnership shall mutually benefit both the organizations in achieving our common goal of making education accessible to each and every child of Pakistan, in particular to girls for empowering and leading them towards a path of success and bright future.
Every child has a right to learn and get a good quality education, regardless of gender, where they live, or their circumstances. If a girl is educated, she can make informed choices from a far better range of options, educating girls saves lives and builds stronger families, communities and economies. She added that this collaboration will set up a new model for private schools to come together with organizations and government of Pakistan to address Girls Education in Pakistan.
