The promoters of Ujala Education Foundation (UEF) have been involved in integrated development interventions in the rural areas of Pakistan for almost three decades. Their experience showed them a dire need for increasing access to quality education in the rural areas that are generally deprived of social services and show gender disparity against women. It also showed that lack of regular teachers’ training and updates in teaching methodologies hindered provision of quality education.

Ujala Education Foundation is a pro-poor and pro-deprived people organization. It promotes equal opportunity to all members of the society including persons with disabilities, while trying to remove or minimize gender disparity in its area of work. Its school premises are designed to accommodate wheel chair users. It promotes co-curricular and extra-curricular activities which inspire creativity. They regularly facilitate their teachers towards improvement by providing them with proper job training and sponsoring them for advanced courses and workshops, to enable them achieve their full potential. The Foundation rewards honesty, dedication and hard work.
