Prolonged school closures have exacerbated the education crisis in Pakistan. For underprivileged children facing a stark digital divide, learning has been severely interrupted. Nearly a million children are expected to drop out of school due to the impact of COVID-19* – losing out on their dreams at risk forever.
TCF is committed to bringing these children back into their classrooms where they can experience the joy of learning again. As TCF schools reopened with all precautionary measures in place, our faculty is ensuring all children, particularly girls, return to school.

Prioritising Mental Health & Well-being

“I was not good at drawing and would easily give up. But one day my teacher read us a story called Jhoola Jhoolti Makri (The Swinging Spider) during story time which was about a spider who kept spinning its web even though it was breaking again and again. It made me realise I shouldn’t give up on drawing and keep trying too.”
