Project timeline: 2025-2027 
Focus area: Pakistan

The Citizens Foundation is a non-profit organisation working to expand access to quality education for underserved communities in Pakistan. Founded in 1995, it has grown into one of the country’s leading education organisations, reaching students and teachers across a wide network of schools.

Through a programme focused on strengthening school libraries, the organisation works to improve access to books and create engaging learning environments. By updating resources and building stronger library systems, the initiative backs students in developing reading habits, curiosity, and confidence from an early age – outcomes that also shape the opportunities available to their families and communities over time.

BESTSELLER Foundation has contributed to this effort, enabling improved access to learning materials across schools. By strengthening the role of libraries in everyday education, the collaboration backs stronger foundations for students, families, and communities, and contributes to lasting access to knowledge and opportunity.
