Discover the passion and expertise driving our impact in Education.

Message from our Founder & President

When I started Zindagi Trust, I had a vision to improve the lives of children across Pakistan. We have evolved as an organisation over the years, starting from educating working children to turning around government schools to now focusing on reforming the education system. I am proud of the change we have been able to bring about, both in creating models that give a reason to believe and in achieving gains in school governance or child protection through our advocacy. I hope and pray and work every day to make sure we continue to adapt to best serve our children.
