Alkhidmat Foundation Friday launched a nationwide campaign aimed at bringing millions of out-of-school children into classrooms, while also inaugurating a new school building in Charsadda built at a cost of Rs80 million.
The new Alkhidmat Foundation School in Sarki, Charsadda, spread over six kanals, was formally inaugurated by President Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan, Prof. Dr. Hafeezur Rehman, who was the chief guest at the ceremony.
Speaking at the event, he announced the launch of the campaign under the slogan “EK Bacha Taleem se Door — Har Bahana Na Manzoor.” The initiative seeks to raise public awareness, work with the government and partner welfare organizations, and encourage school-age children currently working in workshops, markets and on the streets to return to education.
He said millions of children across Pakistan remain out of school because of poverty and other social pressures, forcing many to contribute to household incomes instead of attending schools.
The newly inaugurated school currently has more than 900 students enrolled, reflecting what the foundation described as its effort to expand access to quality education at the community level. Across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the organization said it now operates 26 schools serving more than 10,000 students, including 800 orphaned children receiving free education. 
Speakers at the ceremony said Pakistan has more than 26 million out-of-school children, while over 5 million are in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa alone, figures they said underscore the urgency of coordinated educational interventions.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Emir JI KP Central Abdul Wasi, President AKF KP, Khalid Waqas, Emir JI Charsadda, Shah Hussain Advocate, President District Bar Association Charsadda, Mujeebur Rehman Advocate, District President AKF Charsadda Qari Shafiullah, others.
Later, a science lab and an Alkhidmat Bano Qabil Center were also inaugurated at the Behlola campus.
