hardship. Today, we work across Pakistan to keep children safe, in school, and cared for so they
can grow with hope, not fear.

This move marked a strategic shift, enabling PCR to exert a more direct and impactful presence in the communities it sought to serve.
With a dedicated team of social workers and an unwavering commitment to its mission, PCR embarked on a trajectory of expansion and growth. Leveraging its newfound independence, PCR rapidly scaled its operations, extending its reach to Multiple cities across Pakistan by 2024, including Loralai, Lakki Marwat, Peshawar, Upper Chitral, Shangla, Chilas, Fazilpur, Bahawalnagar, Lahore, Rahimyar Khan, Ghotkti, Mirpur Khas, Karachi, Islamabad, Sukkur, and Thatta. This widespread footprint empowered PCR to reach marginalized communities and effectively deliver education while combating the pervasive issue of illiteracy.
Throughout its evolution, PCR has remained steadfast in its mission to uplift underprivileged children and eradicate illiteracy from Pakistan. By fostering partnerships, fostering community engagement, and embracing innovative approaches, PCR has made significant strides towards achieving its objectives. The organization’s efforts have not only empowered children with education but have also contributed to the broader socio-economic development of the regions it serves.
