In Pakistan, over 22 million children are out of school. Among the most forgotten are orphans without guardians to advocate for them, and children born into brick kiln families — trapped in bonded labor, denied the most basic right: an education.

The Orphan
Without parents and without resources, orphaned children are often the first to be left behind by the system. Without intervention, their futures narrow before they begin.

The Kiln Child
Brick kiln families live in isolated settlements, often in debt bondage. Children work alongside parents instead of attending school. The cycle is inherited, not chosen.

The Opportunity Gap
Even for students who do reach a classroom, the distance between their world and the professional world is enormous. They graduate without knowing what careers exist.

What We Do
Three Ways We Change Lives
Free Education for Orphans
We enroll orphaned children into fully-funded academic and vocational programs — covering tuition, books, uniforms, and transport. Every child is assigned a mentor and receives pastoral educational support.
Industry Seminars for Students
We host regular seminars connecting students with CEOs, entrepreneurs, doctors, engineers, and technologists. Students hear real stories, ask real questions, and begin to see themselves in professional world.
Leave a Legacy That Teaches
Some of our most meaningful projects are funded in memory of — or in honor of — a loved one. Dedicate a classroom, a scholarship, or a seminar. Their name lives on every time a child learns.

Chairman Message
“Lamha means ‘a moment.’ We believe every child deserves that one moment — the moment someone believed in them, gave them a book, opened a door. We are here to create those moments, one student at a time.”
Empowering Vulnerable Communities
Factory workers often face generational barriers to education. Our goal is to break this cycle by offering completely free academic, technical, and skill-based programs designed around real industry and community needs. Through our Inter-Tech, Medical-Tech, and vocational streams, learners gain practical skills that open doors to stable employment and improved livelihoods.
Impact So Far
In just 3 years, Lamha Foundation has empowered more than 1,300 learners—children of laborers, low-income families, and marginalized communities. These students now stand with confidence, hope, and the ability to pursue better opportunities.

Empowering Workers Through Education
Empowering Factory Workers & Their Families Through Free, Lifelong Education
Across Pakistan’s industrial belts, thousands of factory workers and their families continue to face limited access to quality education—a challenge that restricts economic mobility, limits opportunities, and reinforces cycles of poverty. At CATS College, we believe every individual, regardless of income, deserves the chance to grow, learn, and transform their future.
Our Journey
Our journey began with a simple belief: every child deserves access to quality education and the opportunity to build a better future. Through our work with underserved communities, we have focused on making education and skills training accessible to children and young people.
Over the past three years, our education initiatives through CATS College have provided free education and skills training to more than 1,300 students, including children from factory-worker families and other underprivileged communities. What began with 200+ students in 2022 grew to 600+ in 2023 and more than 1,300 students by 2025.
Our impact goes beyond classrooms. Many of these students have progressed to reputable colleges, skilled employment, and sustainable career paths. Their achievements demonstrate how practical education, skills, and opportunity can transform not only individual lives, but entire families and communities.
Today, our journey continues across Punjab, with a growing vision to reach even more young people. With the support of educators, communities, partners, and donors, we are working to empower minds, transform lives, and create a future where every child has the opportunity to learn, develop skills, and thrive.
Our Vision
“To create a Pakistan where every child—regardless of background—has access to quality skill education, financial independence, and a dignified future.”
- Millions of children in Pakistan dream of education but fail due to poverty, lack of opportunity, and limited access to modern skills.
- Many students cannot afford fees, books, or transport.
- Thousands of talented youth remain unemployed due to lack of skills.
- Families remain trapped in generational poverty.
- We work specifically with deserving and financially challenged students who want education but have no means to support themselves.
Our Educational Institutions
Our educational institutions provide safe, supportive learning environments where vulnerable children receive quality education, develop essential skills, and build brighter, independent futures.
Why We Need your Support?
Every year, hundreds of bright students come to us who
- Cannot pay their fees
- Come from labour-class households
- Work part-time to support families
- Want to escape poverty with education
Student Sponsorship
Become a beacon of hope for the pioneers of the future of Pakistan.
- We offer transparent and structured student sponsorship plans.
- Sponsor a Complete Class – Support 25–30 students in a skills program.
- Sponsor a Skill Lab – Sponsor equipment for IT, Medical Tech, or Hospitality labs.
- One-Time Contribution – Funds used for books, uniforms, lab materials, or scholarships.
A Sustainable Investment in Human Capital
Supporting this initiative is not charity — it is the building of a stronger, skilled workforce that contributes to Pakistan’s economic growth. By educating factory workers and their families, we help industries become more competitive, reduce turnover, and foster a healthier, more capable labor
force.
