The Sindh Education Foundation (SEF) consistently works towards promotion of Public Private Partnerships for providing access to quality education facilities to marginalized communities across Sindh. SEF has collaborated with various organizations in the private sector to enrich the educational interventions in schools.
In an effort to bring Mobilink’s support to the province of Sindh, SEF’s Child Labour Education Program and Mobilink Foundation discussed the possibility of Mobilink extending aid to SEF’s Child Development Center (CDC). The CDC is managed by CLEP-SEF which is committed to increasing access to education for working children in the industrial area of Shershah, Karachi. Mobilink offered to provide school bags for children. Mobilized by the Head of CSR at Mobilink, Mr. Haider Bilgrami, a team of 4 people from Mobilink distributed schools bags at the CDC on the 9th of August 2011.
1000 school bags were donated out of which 350 went to the students of CDC and rest to children at SEF’s partner schools in Kakapir and Mubarak Village.
