Since its establishment in 1995, The Citizens Foundation (TCF) has run a managed network of purpose-built schools in the poorest rural areas and most neglected urban slums of Pakistan. TCF's mission is to promote mass-scale quality education at the primary and secondary levels in an environment that encourages intellectual, moral and spiritual growth. TCF's long term goal is to build 1000 schools in Pakistan, with an enrolment of 360,000.
Raising its funds through donations from Pakistanis at home, expatriate communities around the world and corporate sponsorship, today the TCF network has reached all four provinces with 311 school units in 42 locations. As of the new academic session of 2006, about 40,000 less privileged children, almost 50% of them girls, have been receiving quality education in these schools through 2400+ TCF-trained teachers. The students at TCF schools are charged a nominal fee, out of which up to 95% scholarship is awarded along with uniforms and books on a pay-as-you-can-afford basis.

Rozina, Mohsin, Irum, Asghar and Kabeer... five children from deprived backgrounds. Five children with little hope of moving beyond the confines of their existence. Now they have dreams that they can actually aspire to. Medicine, engineering, flying, law-enforcement... it all lies within their reach...
This is the story of a march against illiteracy and of the children realizing their potential.
