Our Projects
Wain Foundation School
Almost 26 million children in Pakistan are out of school. Most of them are in rural areas or concentrated in underprivileged communities. High dropout rates in such communities show that retention of students is as much a challenge as enrollment. Remedial measures are needed and needed fast. For us in the Wain Foundation one child out of school is one too many. Therefore, the Wain Foundation School is a passion project for us. The school is located in an underdeveloped and underprivileged community in the outer periphery of Lahore comprising more than 150 households living in makeshift shelters. Similar settlements are in the immediate vicinity.

Health indicators on maternal, child and infant mortality, immunization, doctor population ratio, hospital population ratio etc. are far below the acceptable standards. Public sector health facilities, especially BHUs and THQs, are inadequate. In underprivileged areas they are practically nonexistent.
