Children aged 5-16 not in School in Pakistan
Children Employed in Child Labour
Street Children without Guardianship
A UNICEF report highlights Pakistan's educational crisis, with 22.8 million children out of school due to poverty, cultural norms, and inadequate facilities. Pakistan ranks second globally for out-of-school children. About 13 million children engage in child labour, losing educational opportunities and working in hazardous conditions impacting their health and future. This perpetuates poverty and exploitation. Additionally, 1.5 million street-connected children face abuse, exploitation, and neglect, often lacking education and healthcare, leading to unsafe work or crime for survival.
Rehmat Educational Foundation is a UK-registered charity committed to providing quality education to underprivileged children in deprived areas of Pakistan. Founded by British-Pakistanis, it is supported by a broad community across the UK. We work in close collaboration with Rehmat School in Pakistan. Our mission is to educate street children and those involved in child labour by offering life skills training to help them break the generational cycle of poverty and assimilate into mainstream society.
