Education with dignity. Learning with purpose.

Roshan Raah means the lit path. We exist so that a child's first years of school do not depend on what their family can pay.

Why we are here

26.2 million

children in Pakistan are out of school.

Many who do reach a classroom find a teacher, a board and little else. A teacher with the right page in hand can start from there.

What we believe

  1. 1

    Strong foundations first

    A child who reads, writes and counts by Grade 3 can keep up with what comes next. We start there.

  2. 2

    Teachers do the teaching

    We give teachers the words to say, the routine to follow and the check to run at the end of the lesson.

  3. 3

    Mastery before moving on

    Each week ends with a check. Children who need more time get a small-group review before the next week starts.

  4. 4

    Free for schools and families

    The lessons cost nothing, for any school or family.
