Throughout the month of September, Zindagi Trust’s management toured cities across USA to help raise funds for the expansion of its unique “I am paid to learn” project. This tour took them around to more than four US cities from the East to the Western Coast. The first event took place in San Francisco, CA on the 8th of September, which was followed by Los Angles, moving on to Hartford on the 15th was a huge success. Changing coasts, the next city was Virginia in Washington DC, where the event took place this weekend on the 16th of September. The last destination for the tour was Detroit in Michigan on the 17th of September at Hyatt Regency Dearborn, which marked the end of this year’s fundraising events in USA for the Trust.

Award-winning singer and the pop icon, and the President of Zindagi Trust, Shehzad Roy, these days recognized for his latest hit “Saali” among the music lovers, enthralled the audience with Live performances and evenings full of excitement and untiring entertainment. Accompanying Shehzad in this nobel drive were popular singer Amir Saleem and stage and television personality Faisal Qazi, who had flown in from Pakistan to endorse the cause.

Zindagi Trust is working to eliminate the menace of child labor from the society, by providing education and healthcare facilities to our nation’s underprivileged children. The Trust extends help to such children through its revolutionary “I’m-paid-to-learn” program – which is geared towards removing the epidemic of illiteracy. Children who forgo schooling to earn money doing menial tasks in urban areas are given the incentive of a fixed stipend of Rs. 20 per day, if they attend any one of the 46 Zindagi schools across Pakistan.
