KARACHI: Shazia Syed, the Chairperson & CEO of Unilever Pakistan and Ateed Riaz, Co-Founder and current Chairman of The Citizen’s Foundation (TCF), signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the TCF school in Qayyumabad. The signing served as the first step towards Lipton and TCF’s aim of taking action against child labor by creating awareness regarding the importance of child education.
The event was opened by Asma Yusuf, Sustainability Lead for Unilever, who gave an overview of Lipton’s program, followed by a short recitation of the Quran by a TCF student.
Shazia Syed addressed the audience about the newly formed partnership, highlighting that Lipton has adopted ten TCF schools in Pakistan. She emphasized the importance of education in a gradually progressing nation like Pakistan.
“With this initiative, Lipton wants to be awake to what really matters – 20 to 25 million kids in Pakistan are out of school. That’s a big figure, the second worst in the world and Lipton believes that we, as a society, need to unite and help these children fight for a better, brighter future.”News Desk
