Zakat/Donation/Sadka - A good Organization who needs your help

We all do our best to give Alms/sadka and zakat, here and there. As the Holy month of Ramadan is approaching, i would like to share and mention about one organation in Pakistan , who is doing a tremendous good work in Pakistan and need help from you people in terms of Zakat /donation etc.

I feel that to resolve Pakistan's problems, giving education to all is one of the basis steps to bring new and imrpoved/enegized generation of Pakistanis. Until , the poor people of Pakistan are uneducated, they can not stand up for themselves, for their families, for their cities, and for the country and this vicious cylce of poverty, miserable conditions and modern day slavery will continue. To cut the long story short, I believe in this organization " TCF" and what they are doing , and wanted to share with the forum.

Their website is www.thecitizensfoundation.org

The following is some of the key info about them:

TCF is a professionally managed, non-profit organization set up in 1995 by a group of citizens concerned with the dismal state of education in Pakistan. It is now one of Pakistan's leading organizations in the field of formal education. As of 2009 TCF has established 600 purpose-built school units nationwide with an enrollment of 80,000 students. TCF encourages female enrollment and boasts of a 50% female ratio in almost every campus. TCF has a full Female Faculty of 4,150 members. TCF also has a dedicated Teacher Training Center in Karachi for the ongoing training of its faculty and provides logistical support to all its teachers. 6, 026 jobs have been created in communities in which TCF operates.

The vision of TCF is to remove barriers of class and privilege and to make the citizens of Pakistan Agents of Positive Change. We believe that access to basic education is the right of each individual and not a privilege. Apart from following the regular curriculum, we focus on the character building of students to equip them with high moral values and confidence.

To achieve our goals, TCF is constantly surveying education-deprived locations in Pakistan to extend its network. Each new location is appraised through an extensive land survey, assessment of population, income level, number and standard of existing schools in the area, demand for new school units, availability of an accessible site to build a school, qualified teachers in the area and a number of other criteria.

TCF is registered in Pakistan as a Company limited by guarantee under section 42 of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 and its accounts are audited by KPMG Taseer Hadi and Co. TCF is ranked amongst the top five scoring organizations certified by the Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy (PCP) and has received high non-profit organization (NPO) governance rating of GR-8 by JCR-VIS Credit Rating Co Ltd.
