We’ve uniquely designed processes, programmes and work flows to ensure that every child benefits from a quality education. These are developed to make sure that the children have access to a secure and stable environment, with a focus on learning.
Today, the CARE Foundation offers a number of programs that helps not just students, but teachers to improve their skills and creativity.
CARE Foundation established a scholarship programme in 2001 to provide financial assistance to bright and deserving students who wanted to pursue higher education. It provides funds for tuition fees, books, stationery, examination fees and transport, plus hostel expenses.
Each year, CARE Foundation awards 1000 scholarships. Graduating from the some of the country’s most well-known universities, this program has been a life-changing initiative for countless families whose children have gone on to become professionals such as doctors, engineers and bankers.
CARE Foundation’s most valuable asset is its staff of over 7,000 teachers. In order to ensure that a high quality of teaching is provided in all schools, CARE Foundation established its own Teacher Training Centre (TTC) in Lahore in 2001. All teachers undergo specially designed training from lesson planning, student psychology, language and communication to teaching methodologies. The average teacher-student ratio in CARE Foundation schools is 1 teacher for every 30 students.
Launched in 2004 to provide children with the language skills to compete equally in the world, the program has grown over the years and runs in 180 CARE Foundation schools, benefiting over 15,000 students across Pakistan.

Creativity, Culture and Education (CCE) was started in 2015 to encourage creativity and critical thinking by integrating the arts into different subjects in schools. Currently the program is being run in 75 schools.
The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) program was launched in 2018 to give students a hands-on and interactive experience of the practical aspects of various STEM disciplines such as, Aerodynamics, Botany and Robotics.
PBL enables students to create projects that are based on real-world practices or complex questions. It allows children to demonstrate their capabilities while working independently. The project helps develop 21st century skills in students such as creativity, collaboration, communication and critical thinking and problem solving.
CARE Foundation started digital deployment in two of its CARE Foundation adopted government schools. Students are provided with tablets to develop 21st-century essential skills, such as digital literacy, self-learning attitudes, and increased motivation and confidence.
In response to COVID school closures, a smartphone programme was initiated in 2020 to engage students via WhatsApp, where teachers shared weekly study schemes and online quizzes. Keeping in view the limited resources/access to internet, students were provided with offline applications. This programme has now turned into a core offer during the summer vacation.
After the first CARE Foundation school was set up in 1991, a vocational centre was also set-up to generate economic opportunities for women affected by the devastating floods. It soon turned into a fully-fledged enterprise development programme, now known as CARE Craft. An extensive range of skilfully crafted hand-made accessories are produced, which help in creating employment and generating funds, which are invested in CARE Foundation schools.
Lead to Succeed began in 2018 to enable students to gain exposure and awareness about various career-paths. The program brings individuals from well-known local corporations and multinationals to the classroom, for interactive sessions and in-depth discussions.
