In a commendable initiative to support quality education in Pakistan, Pakistan Refinery Limited (PRL) has partnered with The Citizens Foundation (TCF).
PRL’s commitment to providing operational support to the Professor Amanat Ali Campus, a TCF school, for both its morning and afternoon shifts over a period of 10 years is a significant step towards furthering TCF’s mission of delivering quality education to underprivileged communities.
Pakistan is currently grappling with a substantial education crisis, and TCF is actively working to address this challenge by establishing and managing high-standard educational institutions in marginalized areas. PRL’s initial contribution of PKR 9.24 million for the upcoming 2023-24 academic year will play a vital role in supporting the education of children in the Korangi community.
Zahid Mir, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of PRL, emphasized the significance of this partnership, stating, “Education holds the key to unlock the potential of Pakistan’s future generations, and we are committed to playing our part in this critical endeavor. By joining forces with TCF to promote quality education, we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of children in our neighboring communities.”
TCF’s CEO, Syed Asaad Ayub Ahmad, expressed gratitude for PRL’s support, saying, “We are thankful to Pakistan Refinery Limited for their contribution to our mission of promoting quality education in Pakistan. Through this collaboration, we will be able to create an improved learning environment and provide greater opportunities for our students, which are vital for their future success.”
The financial assistance provided by PRL will be utilized for operational expenses at the Professor Amanat Ali Campus located near PRL’s Head Office and Plant in Korangi. This partnership reflects PRL’s commitment to investing in the communities where it operates and fostering sustainable development throughout the country.
Through this alliance, PRL is making a substantial investment in Pakistan’s future by extending quality education to children in disadvantaged areas. TCF’s proven track record of establishing and managing excellent educational institutions, combined with PRL’s dedication to community investment, creates a powerful synergy. This partnership showcases the potential of private sector engagement in addressing critical social challenges and shaping a brighter future for all Pakistanis. PRL and TCF take pride in working together towards this shared goal and eagerly anticipate making a meaningful impact on the lives of children and their communities.
