To help improve education in rural areas, we undertook the rehabilitation of several primary and middle schools, focussing especially on schools for girls.

In 2004, in partnership with an NGO, we adopted a school in Pindi Dhallon, Sheikhupura, and achieved such an improvement of educational facilities, including teaching aids and teacher training, that school attendance doubled.

Three schools were rehabilitated in 2004-05, and we also donated over 100 computers to schools in poor rural and urban communities.

In the 21st century, no country can hope to progress without a strong commitment to scientific training and research.

Demonstrating our investment in Pakistan's long-term future, we have committed to help set up a School of Science and Engineering at the world-renowned Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS).
