Privacy Policy
When poverty forces small hands to work instead of learn, dreams fade early and childhood is lost before it begins. In Pakistan, many families struggle with low wages and rising inflation, pushing children into factories instead of schools. LAMHA Foundation is committed to breaking this cycle by providing free, skill-based education and dignity to factory workers and their families.
We deeply respect your privacy and are dedicated to protecting your personal information while you support our mission of education, opportunity, and sustainable livelihoods.
This Privacy Policy explains how LAMHA Foundation (in association with CATS College) collects, uses, and safeguards your information when you visit https://lamha.ngo/, make a donation, submit an application, or interact with us.
