PKS targets the children in poverty.
PKS emphasizes character building and instilling values in its educational approach and philosophy, both curricular and co-curricular programs.
PKS considers the ‘whole child’ – basic hygiene, nutrition, counseling and self-care are taught along-side mainstream Montessori instruction.
PKS aims to achieve these objectives by deploying its unique education model: ‘The school that comes to you and stays with you’.
PKS does all the above through one of the lowest cost education delivery models in Pakistan.
We provide schooling access to the most difficult to reach, out-of-school, destitute children. PKS uses an innovative approach by taking schools to the ‘katchi Abadi’ (urban slum) communities, and moving with them when they are evicted by local authorities. PKS establishes mobile school sheds in Katchi Abadis (slum areas) of Islamabad in response to the needs of these transient, nomadic communities. Through individual philanthropy and crowdfunding, we raise funds to give quality education, skills, and opportunities to these needy children, who rightfully deserve the chance of a better tomorrow.
