FRCE Career Counselling Program

Pakistani youth is devoid of an

IDEAL to follow whereas we know

that almost half of the population

falls under the age of twenty

(56.5%).. They are lost in the search

of an individual whose line of they

follow will take them to success.

One more dilemma is that the youth

even being very energetic and

talented does not get the chance to display their inner talent. Joblessness, poverty and absence of

support from the government for increasing education level and its reach to the young generation.

Moreover some political parties are using

the energies of these very shining

youngsters by putting them on the line of

militancy and weapons. In short the

young generation lacks clear guidance,

vision, leadership, education, monetary

support from government and a clear

path. Having analysed this FRCE has

started Career Counselling program

through which hundreds of youth are trained and counselled by renowned personalities so that youth

make peaceful and prosperous Pakistan

FRCE Health Program

Pakistan is the 6th

largest state of the world having a huge flux of population living in rural

and urban areas. The Federal Government of Pakistan after taking her due share from NFC

award promise to fulfill the four major objectives i.e. security, education, health and

sanitation. Unfortunately, only 1.5% of entire budget is allocated to health and sanitation

which is insufficient. Secondly, the sanitary conditions are deplorable and the stagnant water

absorbs 150 feet in the soil mixing up with clean water, which is spreading severe diseases.

Owing to this poor sanitary condition W.H.O projected the idea of oral polio vaccination. The

infrastructure is undeveloped. The basic health units in rural areas are not equipped enough to

better the falling health of rural populace. If there are well equipped hospitals, the availability

of doctors is not ensured. Glaringly, the quakes are performing in every nook and corner of

the country without any fear of accountability. The medicine companies are indulging in

minting money with the help of dishonest doctor, consequently killing many people. Less

attention is given to sterilize the tools and transfer of blood without disease. Because of the

religious myths and cultural barriers less attention is given to female health which results in

the increment of MMR and TMR. Focusing on the golden rule of “Health is wealth”, FRCE

taking appropriate measures for the betterment of health services in Pakistan. The awareness

programmes and medical camps are arranged to let the people know about the problems and

remedies.

FRCE Educational Program

Education is the corner stone of any successful nation. At the heart of most thriving global

economies lies a dynamic educational system which prepares their youth to compete with the

best in the world. There is no doubt that prosperity of nations now depends solely on the

intellectual quality of its human resource and investing in high quality education is

synonymous with investing in the future of a nation. Unfortunately, this aspect in Pakistan

has been ignored ever-since its independence. Quality education remains the prerogative of

children drawn from a thin layer of upper crust of Pakistani Society. 70% of our people living

in villages are totally deprived of any quality schooling and consequently can play little role

in national policies and its development. This educational apartheid, with a tiny little elite

perpetually dominating country’s social life, its polity and economy, is a sure recipe for social

conflicts between the masses and the elite. The current social and sectarian tension and resort

to fundamentalist tendencies by the youth, especially from remote and under-developed areas

are manifestation of the impact of prevailing archaic system of education for vast majority of

our youth in underprivileged areas. It was these harsh realities that motivated the Founder of

FRCE Mr.Kaleemullah to make a beginning towards educating and grooming the brightest

children from rural areas in the hope that these children will one day become role models for

their communities by emerging as high class citizens who can demonstrate quality leadership

in diverse fields Having analyzed it FRCE has started to open schools in a different slum area

of Sindh province and providing free of the cost education to children of poor and

marginalized communities of the country, FRCE has not only opened schools but also has

appointed teacher in governments schools where was no any government appointed teacher.
