Hardly any news these days is a good news. To everyone’s shock and dismay, the Economic Survey of Pakistan (2016-2017) revealed that the literacy rate dropped by a staggering 2%and so did the Net Enrollment Rate by 3%.
What about all the educational reforms that have been promised by the government?
The educational reforms initiated by the Government could not be implemented due to the instability of the state, the stereotype that education is attributed to the resourceful and it doesn’t make it to the priority list. Well, here we have a good news. The students of the University of Lahore have taken the ownership to play their part in resolving this issue.
Our First Visit to Our First Subscriber
What an excellent start to an amazing journey!On March, 28th we met our first subscriber, Yashwa. He is a young boy, studying in grade 6, in Lahore School of Excellence. Yashwa is a bright student and wants to be a doctor in future but unfortunately, he had to face an obstacle towards his journey at the very beginning. Yashwa, could not continue his classes due to unavailability of Books and stayed home until we helped him. The team of Pakistan Book Bank & Students a Coalition for Literacy managed to collect donations and help Yashwal take another step towards prosperity and excellence, in life. Our team didn’t only meet our first subscriber but also greeted and spent some quality time with his friends, in school. We aim to educate every child in Pakistan. We aim to bring a change. We aim to save Pakistan from the black cloud of illiteracy. We believe in lending a helping hand to anyone who shares our vision of 'Parha Likha Pakistan' and wants to help. But for that, we need YOUR help.

A project by the name of “Pakistan Book Bank and Students Coalition for Literacy” has been launched on 16th of March, 2018, with the mission to eliminate illiteracy from Pakistan by providing books to the ‘disadvantaged’ and ‘less resourceful’ people. Their main goal is to promote educational proclivity by providing the unprivileged with free books. They sure have been successful in building a direct and open platform for both the helpers and the needy.
