Tarakki

I want to see every child grow to full potential. I want to create a level playing field for all children - poor and rich alike. ln Pakistan nearly 45% of our 150 million people are under the age of 15. We have one of the world's largest population of children.
 

 

 

Very many of our children work for a living because they are the children of poor families whose parents cannot afford to send their children to school. The child's labour helps to support the family. Child labour cannot be wished away, nor even legislated away.
