According to the National Education Management Information System (NEMIS), more than 22 million children in Pakistan have never seen the inside of a classroom. This leaves them destined to a cycle of illiteracy, poverty and street life. Careem has decided to become a part of the solution with The Citizen's Foundation (TCF), one of the largest not-for-profit working for low-cost formal education in Pakistan.
For the entire month of Ramazan, Careem will set up a car type for TCF, where additional Rs 20 will be charged to the customer who opts for it and Careem will match the amount of the funds raised. These funds will go towards educating children from less privileged communities and enabling quality education for them.
"Careem has been a really supportive partner in TCF's journey of making education more accessible for Pakistan's children. With Careem's reach in the masses, it's a great idea to introduce this car type and bring greater awareness among people about TCF's work. The small donation for Rs 20 has made it easy for many more people to contribute their bit to education.
TCF is reaching out to more than 200,000 less privileged children by taking schools to them in the heart of urban slums and rural communities. We are running almost 1500 purpose built schools across Pakistan. We are happy to partner with Careem and look forward to our continued collaboration for a better Pakistan," said CEO and President of TCF Syed Asaad Ayub Ahmad.-PR
