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. Since 2015, in partnership with the Government of Sindh, Akhuwat has devoted itself to restoring this historical building, and today NJV has reclaimed its position as a site for educational and holistic training for its students.

Akhuwat Jugnu School

The first years of a child’s life sets the stage for all future growth, yet many children in Pakistan are not receiving the education required in these years for healthy development. Jugnu School in Chakwal, is Akhuwat’s first pre-school where children from low-income families are provided with relevant and quality learning opportunities.

Akhuwat Learning Hubs

Akhuwat Learning Hubs provide education and vocational training to children of unknown parentage, who are often found in alleys plagued by drugs, prostitution and violence. 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.

Established in 2015, Akhuwat College is a residential college that houses and educates bright, young people selected on merit from all corners of Pakistan. The college caters to students from low-income households who despite their talent and desire to pursue education, are unable to do so due to financial constraints. Each student has a unique tale of struggle and hardship in attaining their basic education, yet they are unified by their pursuit of knowledge. The aim of the College is not only to provide these young people with quality education, but also to cultivate their unique talents, inspire a deeper sense of ethics, and inculcate the values of discipline, hard-work and volunteerism in students.
