the problem continues to grow…
Distressed by the dismal state of society in Pakistan in 1995, a group of concerned citizens ventured into
the formation of a non-profit company
In August 1995, The Citizens Foundation was formed as a company Limited by
Guarantee and registered with the Security and Exchange Commission of
Pakistan
Seeing too many small children in the streets of less privileged areas, the directors chose a
formal schooling model for TCF
Which meant…
