First Lady Begum Samina Arif Alvi on Wednesday formally opened an education centre to impart free education to poor children of the dwellers of the husk cottage settlements in Multan, saying that bringing children back to school was imperative for the country’s socioeconomic development.
“I am glad to have opened the second education centre set up by Taaray Zameen Per (TZP) trust and congratulate not only the TZP team that made it happen, but, most importantly, the children and their poor families for having free access to education,” the First Lady said while addressing the opening ceremony.
She said that the trust was making free arrangements for education of 250 children and shelter to 29 families. She also commended the trust for its noteworthy efforts in providing ration to the poor families besides free meals to hospitals, adding that it should serve as an inspiration for all of us to continue efforts to support those who need our help the most.
