READ Foundation is one of the largest not-for-profit educational networks of rural Pakistan. It started off in 1994 with a mission of serving underprivileged children through quality education.

READ began its journey with 25 children, a committed teacher and a shabby rented building. In contrast to the enormity of the goal, the financial resources were meager. But after some fifteen years READ Foundation has earned fame for offering value-based mainstream education with emphasis on character building through academic excellence.

Currently, the Foundation is running a cohesive network of 331 schools with an ever-growing student body of around 69,000 children, guided by 3,500 teachers who take pride in blending the broader concepts of tolerance, moderation, child rights, and civic education as a part of regular curriculum. READ Foundation is providing free education to more than 7,000 orphan students and It fulfills their educational needs to ensure that everybody gets an equal chance, at their door-step, of getting self-reliant through education.
