Helping kids advance

Not having the opportunity to go to a school, these under privileged children are destined to grow up in poverty and remain in the same communities. Wandering in the streets and falling behind in the society and being deprived of their basic human rights.

SKF programs will assist these street children and their families to break away from poverty and change their destiny. To prosper and make a better future for themselves and their generations to come!

Pakistan Program and Plan

Today, based on UN statistics 55% of the world’s population lives in urban areas, a proportion that is expected to increase to 68% by 2050. At present 35% of the urban population around the world are living in urban slums that lack necessities of life.

Pakistan has a population of nearly 216 million, and the population living in slums is reported at 45.5% and rising according to the World Bank sources. Around 32% are under the age of 15 years and in major cities a rough estimate shows that there are between 1.2 to 1.5 million children roaming the streets. These children are denied basic rights such as access to basic education, healthcare or shelter and therefore become an easy target to various kinds of exploitation.

Growth Plan

Phase 1

SKRSF Learning Center
The first project “SKRSF Learning Center” started its work on March 2nd, 2018, in Multan, Pakistan.
SKRSF Learning Center started with 10 children ages 4 years to 9 years and within a month, 4 more children joined as part of the daily 3-hour Monday to Friday learning program.
The selected out of school street children belonged to very poor households and their parents worked either as daily laborers, housemaids, sweepers, or rickshaw drivers and could not afford to send their children to a school. These children were either at home or playing and roaming around the streets all day while their parents were at work.
At the SKRSF Learning Center the kids are given uniforms, sweaters, shoes, school bags, primary level educational syllabus, stationary, and daily snacks.
Children start with basic alphabet learning, sentence formation, number recognition, counting, simple addition and subtraction exercises, drawing and coloring and story time is also a part of their learning activity at the center. The kids are taught in both Urdu and English languages.
During the first year from March 2018 to December 2018 all the 14 children showed remarkable improvement in their overall learning. All the children were attentive, their retention to learning improved and each child showed excitement to perform better each day, along with improvement in their overall manners and cleanliness.

As of 2024 there are 16 children enrolled at SKRSF’s Learning Center. And 21 students that are part of SKRSF’s Rising Star Scholarship program. Work is in progress to start the 2nd SKRSF Learning Center in Peshawar, Pakistan

The second girls only “SKRSF Learning Center” started its work on 2nd September 2024 in Peshawar, Pakistan.

SKRSF Learning Center, Peshawar  has enrolled 12 girl students ages 4 to 12 years, as part of the 1st batch  of students for a daily 4-hour Monday to Friday learning program.  

Phase 2

Rising Star Scholarship Program

August 2020, SKF’s “Rising Star Scholarship Program” was officially launched. Two (2) children, (one girl and one boy) transitioned from SKRSF Learning center to getting admission in a regular public school called “Federal Government Public Primary School for Boys and Girls”. In November 2021, three (3) more children, (2 girls and 1 boy) transitioned from SKRSF Learning Center. The boy got admission in “FG Public School for Boys”, and the 2 girls were admitted to a local private school. In August 2022 four (4) children (2 girls and 2 boys) got admission in “Federal Government Public Primary School for Boys and Girls”. In November 2022 from the SKRSF Learning Center three (3) children got admitted into a local private school. In January 2024 eleven (11) children were admitted. Todate there are 18 children that are part of “SKRSF Rising Star Scholarship Program”.

The educational scholarship pays for all the expenses at the school for each child. The children remain part of SKRSF even when they move to regular public & private schools. Families of these SKRSF children do not bear any cost of sending their kids to these public and private schools!
