Islamabad (Khyber Mail): In a bid to address Pakistan’s severe education crisis, Sunbeams organized a special Zakat-focused charity event on Wednesday at the PNCA Auditorium, Islamabad. The event, held under the Pakistan 100 for 100 (PK100) initiative, aimed to mobilize resources to achieve 100% literacy in Islamabad by 2027 and nationwide by 2047.
With 25 million children out of school, Pakistan faces one of the world’s most pressing education emergencies. Sunbeams, through PK100, seeks to direct Zakat contributions into education, breaking barriers and transforming communities.
The event brought together policymakers, philanthropists, and education leaders who discussed the power of collective action in driving lasting change. Attendees also heard inspiring stories of children whose lives have been transformed through education, highlighting the profound impact of every contribution.
Ainee Nasir Jamy, Founder and Chairperson of Sunbeams, emphasized the urgency of the initiative, stating, “Pakistan 100 for 100 is more than a mission—it’s a promise. Every child we educate is a step toward a stronger, more empowered Pakistan. This is our moment to turn Zakat into a force for change.”
The event reinforced the critical role of community-driven efforts in ensuring education for all, urging individuals and organizations to contribute to a brighter future for Pakistan’s children.
