Teach the World Foundation

We founded Teach the World in 2016, starting with a proof of concept validated by Nielsen the same year. Since then, we've consistently delivered scalable and efficient literacy programs in some of the most resource-constrained areas of the world. With the success of both our InSchool and MicroSchool programs, our solution has shown remarkable adaptability in meeting the unique needs and challenges of various environments, and in times of crisis, we’ve swiftly innovated, launching an At-Home learning program to tackle the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are dealing with a massive problem that will require all three of our solutions: MicroSchools for the out-of-school population, InSchool programs to improve quality in existing schools, and our AtHome program with smartphones, in areas where the other two programs are not feasible.

The MicroSchool and InSchool programs are going very well, thanks to a breakthrough program with the Sindh Educational Foundation supported by the Sindh Government. Currently, we have a combined strength of approximately 14,317 students in 141 schools.

Many of our MicroSchools are being sponsored by Corporate Pakistan or by individuals. We also have an InSchool program with CARE Foundation at 4 schools in Lahore.

Where we are today

Given the scale of the education crisis in Pakistan, we believe we must operate in a crisis mode. Our programs are designed to scale as rapidly as possible.

With the Sindh Education Foundation, we will be launching 200-300 MicroSchools in 2025 – 27 all over the province. We will also expand our CSR/ESG-funded programs very significantly. Subject to funding, we will also launch many more InSchool programs with CARE Foundation, as well as others.

We will also continue to pilot the AtHome program on smartphones; we plan to develop a highly scalable prototype in 2025 – 26.
