What makes SKF unique is we are a staging platform for out of school street kids to receive free of cost basic primary level education. Most of the not for profits working in this space build schools. Rather than building schools, SKF aims to establish basic learning centers. These centers will have expedited basic primary education and mentoring program for the children for a duration of 2-3 years. After which through a selection process the selected kid/ kids will be admitted into well-established regular local public and private schools to continue their education. The transition into SKF Rising Star Scholarship program will provide the kids the finances to continue their education and dream BIG!

Presently SKRSF has one Learning Center in Multan, Pakistan, and work to set up the 2nd Learning Center is underway in Peshawar, Pakistan. SKRSF started in March 2018 with 10 children and over the years has enrolled 37 children in total. Presently SKRSF center has 16 children, and has 21 children as part of the SKF Rising Star Scholarship program. (Of which 5 children are enrolled in FG Public School and 16  children are enrolled in a private school). Work is in process to establish more SKRSF Learning Centers across other cities in Pakistan.

SKF selects kids ages 4 years to 12 years who are out of school, roaming the streets and belong to poor communities living in urban slums. Families that cannot afford to send their children to schools because they lack the financial resources and would instead not send their children to a school but have them work and earn money. Such as girls helping with their mothers in different homes as maids (masee), boys selling stuff on streets or working as a laborer etc. SKF does NOT discriminate based on religion or caste!

To be part of SKF team one needs to understand the mission of SKF. A person can join SKF team by becoming an education facilitator in one of its local educational centers OR take the initiative to setup a center in one of the locations where there is a need to provide education to under privileged out of school children OR organize a fundraising event for collecting donations for SKF.
