We’re launching our Socio-Emotional Learning Report with insights from Manzil, our digital platform for girls. Beyond education, Manzil helps build confidence, empathy, resilience, and leadership. A celebration of inclusive spaces where every child can thrive.

At Cities for Children, socio-emotional learning is more than academics. It’s resilience, empathy, confidence, curiosity, and belonging. Through programmes like Manzil Kashi and Seekho Sikhao Saathi, we see SEL spark healing and leadership. Our SEL report launch is coming soon.

Had the opportunity to meet with Senator @AyeshaRaza13, the chairperson of @NCRC_Pakistan about expanding Maar Nahi Pyaar & ending corporal punishment nationwide. ICT has laws. Most provinces don’t. It’s time to change that.

With 26M+ children out of school in Pakistan, flexible, community-rooted solutions are vital. At CfC, programmes like Dhanak Dheri and #HanstiBasti show how #playfullearning boosts motivation—and how non-formal education can close the gap. #RighttoRead #EducationForAll

For over a year, we’ve led #MaarNahiPyaar workshops to #endcorporalpunishment in Pakistan, starting with @ncrc_pk. What began as advocacy for every child’s #righttofeelsafe is now a movement rooted in empathy. Grateful to share our work with @keepingchildren. #SafeSchools
