Akhuwat
Education Services

No society can prosper unless the fundamental right to education is granted to all of its citizens. Therefore, Akhuwat’s vision of creating a poverty-free society would remain incomplete unless the root cause; illiteracy of the poor, was addressed. Considering the paramount importance of education in opening multiple avenues, an investment in education was needed for several reasons. Among those are fostering the ability to innovate, understanding others, creating endless opportunities and building a tolerant, compassionate and environment friendly society. Thus, Akhuwat embarked on its mission to provide free-of-cost, high quality education through its intervention in primary, secondary and higher education.

Akhuwat Schools

Public School Support Program (PSSP)

Through the Public-School Support Program, Akhuwat has collaborated with the Government of Punjab to restore more than 4,000 nonfunctioning schools. To date, it has adopted over 350 public primary schools in six districts of Punjab, where it provides quality education and is working on improved academic facilities as no society can prosper without ensuring the access to education for all its members.

NJV School

Narain Jagannath Vaidya (NJV) High School is Sindh’s first public school which was established in 1855 but soon became a neglected site, losing its place as a center of academic excellence.

They seek to provide children with educational, health, vocational, recreational and counseling services. In order for the Learning Hubs to have a deeper impact on children, they have been working with parents and grandparents, creating a communal, safe space for all citizens to come together. Streets that were once laced with drugs peddlers and brothels are slowly being transformed into hubs for learning, sharing and support.
