The Citizens Foundation [TCF] is a professionally managed, non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of quality education on a mass scale in rural and lower income urban areas of Pakistan.
Set up in 1995 by a group of citizens concerned with the dismal state of education in Pakistan, it is now one of Pakistan's leading organizations in the field of formal education. Over this time period TCF has established 600 purpose-built school units nationwide with an enrollment of 80,000 students. TCF encourages female enrollment and boasts of a 50% female ratio in almost every campus. TCF has a full female faculty of 4,150 members. TCF also has a dedicated Teacher Training Center in Karachi for the ongoing training of its faculty and provides logistical support to all its teachers.
The vision of TCF is to remove barriers of class and privilege and to make the citizens of Pakistan Agents of Positive Change. It believes that access to basic education is the right of each individual and not a privilege. Apart from following the regular curriculum, it focuses on the character building of students to equip them with high moral values and confidence.
