Internship
Dost Welfare Foundation

During my internship at Take a Child to School Initiative, a collaboration between the British Council and School of Leadership Foundation, I actively participated in the mission of enrolling out-of-school boys and girls in primary schools across 60 districts in Pakistan with the lowest enrollment and completion rates.
