This Children’s Day, Reckitt announces under Hoga Saaf Pakistan, a flagship purpose program of Dettol, a donation of PKR 22.4 million to The Citizens Foundation (TCF) for the rehabilitation of 15 schools damaged by the recent floods. This news was announced at the official Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing held at Deena Minoo Mistri Campus Primary Morning School in Korangi, Karachi.
As Pakistan continues to experience an education crisis. Statistics indicate that about 44% (22.6 million) of children ages 5 to 16 are not in school. Recent flooding has only resulted in an increase in this number. Dettol through the Hoga Saaf Pakistan program aims to create a clean and healthy Pakistan, where children fall ill less often, and school absenteeism is not a threat. With this purpose, this contribution will ensure the continuous provision of education to children from vulnerable families. Numerous schools were devastated by the recent floods and require reconstruction. With the supplied fund to TCF, Dettol intends to commence the reconstruction of 15 such schools so that children from flood-affected families can continue their education.
