Non-formal learning for girls, health and hygiene lessons in schools, and awareness of children’s rights.

With FPAP and UNICEF we have run non-formal education and skills development for young girls who missed out on school.

In schools, we teach children and teachers about nutrition, hygiene and safe drinking water, immunisation and adolescent health. International days such as World Health Day, World Water Day and Global Handwashing Day give us a chance to take those messages home to families.

We also run awareness programmes on children’s rights, including events such as the Race for Survival in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Our voter education work with UNDP and the Election Commission of Pakistan is described under Governance.
