The 100 Club unites 100 people committed to supporting READ Foundation in building one new school each year for children in underprivileged and underserved communities in Pakistan. Through education, we empower communities and nurture the potential of future leaders.
Nearly 22.8 million children aged 5 to 16 are out of school in Pakistan. By building schools in underserved communities, READ Foundation ensures that students have access to quality education. Each school is tailored to the community's needs, promoting health, hygiene, and holistic learning.
The 100 Club brings together 100 dedicated patrons championing READ Foundation’s commitment to erect one advanced school every year in Pakistan’s underserved areas. Our schools meet stringent seismic safety standards and are staffed by exceptionally trained and qualified teachers, ensuring a robust educational foundation that nurtures potential leaders in secure, top-tier learning environments.
