Education for All: Inside SF Schooling System

SF Schooling System opened in May 2024 in Kaj Muhammad Goth, Lyari Town, because two people decided not to wait for someone else to do it. Mrs. Shaheen Akhtar and Mrs. Fahim had watched children in their own neighbourhood leave school early, or never start at all, for reasons that came down to money and distance.

The school was set up as a partnership with one principle behind it: every child has the right to a quality education and to the chance of building a successful future. In practice that means fees kept within reach of the families around it, and a classroom that treats a child from a one-room home exactly as it treats anyone else.

Education is the slowest of our thematic areas to show results and the one that changes the most. A child who finishes school reshapes what the next generation of that household can expect. That is the work, and it is measured in years rather than months.
