Where We Work
We currently educate over 89,433 students, 65% of whom are girls, in 214 schools across Pakistan. DIL in Pakistan operates across Sindh, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), and the Federal Capital Territory.
We serve underserved communities by placing schools where access to quality education is limited bringing learning opportunities directly to the children who need them the most.
DIL’s Footprint across Pakistan
In Addition to building new schools, DIL Trust UK partners with Pakistan’s Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) to adopt, upgrade and transform existing government schools in Punjab, Sindh, and Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT). Nearly half of the schools in our network are government schools. This approach leverages the community trust built over decades, ensuring a scalable and sustainable impact grounded in long-standing relationships.
