Our work transforming schools has shown that real change demands more than isolated success stories, it requires systemic reform. That’s why Zindagi Trust drives policy and legislative changes at both national and provincial levels to uplift the standard of public education across Pakistan. Through research-backed advocacy, we strive to turn proven solutions from our model schools into nationwide improvements by focusing on:
Advocating to policy-makers is crucial as they have the power to enact laws and policies that can improve education in Pakistan.
Bureaucrats are responsible for implementing policies and programs. Advocating to them can ensure effective implementation of education reforms.
Government stakeholders have a vested interest in the success of education in Pakistan. Advocating to them can help align their interests with education reform efforts.
The media and press have the ability to shape public opinion. Advocating to them can help raise awareness and generate support for education reform in Pakistan.
Our advocacy has led to concrete legislative and policy reforms across child protection, school governance, curriculum design, and teacher development, proving that lasting change begins at the top.

We are currently advocating for the following goals to help Pakistan's children learn better, live safer lives, and reach their true potential:
Advocating for a Child Protection Policy is vital to protect children, prevent abuse, and ensure their overall well-being and rights.
This is important to foster creativity, critical thinking, Life-Skills, and holistic education for comprehensive and well-rounded learning.
To protect children from online threats, cyberbullying, and privacy breaches, necessitating advocacy for safe and responsible digital practices.
To ensure equal opportunities, protection from discrimination, and a safe environment, warranting advocacy for gender equality and rights.
