Empower Working Kids: Revolutionize Learning with Flexible Education

I am Talat Gulzar, a dedicated educator with a profound passion for writing and a strong commitment to social change. With a master's degree in Social Work and more than twenty-five years of enriching experience as a middle school teacher at The Citizens Foundation, I have dedicated my career to nurturing young minds and fostering a love for learning.

In my neighborhood, a stark truth hit me: boys skip school for work, girls stay home due to unpaid fees, and over 25 million Pakistani kids miss education—10.5 million lost to child labor. I am Talat Gulzar, a dedicated educator with a profound passion for writing and a strong commitment to social change. With a master’s degree in Social Work and over twenty-five years of enriching experience as a middle school teacher at The Citizens Foundation, I’ve devoted my career to nurturing young minds and fostering a love for learning. Witnessing these struggles, I began teaching deserving kids every evening, offering free lessons and supplying copies and stationery from my own pocket. Their hunger to learn, despite hardships, sparked a dream.

This dream—seeing Pakistan thrive as an educated nation—drove me to embrace new challenges, including learning coding, an opportunity graciously provided by Governor Sindh Kamran Tessori. Determined to make this vision real, I created the Learn and Earn (Parho aur Kamao) App—a revolutionary tool that pays working kids to learn via mobile tech. It breaks barriers with flexible, rewarding education in Urdu and English, covering literacy, math, and skills. Imagine a boy earning rewards after a long workday or a girl mastering lessons at home—transforming lives step by step.

Through my journey, I aim to not only teach but also inspire, empower, and ignite a passion for education across Pakistan. With my writing power and educational expertise, I craft narratives advocating for literacy and educational reform. Your support can launch this app, funding development and rewards to reach thousands.
