About Us
Pak-Swedish Teachers’ Association
A Symbol of Struggle for Social Change…
PSTA is involved in developmental programs in Pakistan, aiming at fighting poverty and enforcing basic rights in accordance with the UN Charter. PSTA does so through supporting education programs, female co-operatives and health care programs. Our aim is to eradicate illiteracy from the society & make every child a useful educated citizen.

           

PSTA is running primary, middle and high schools to achieve this aim. Our focus is specifically on the Brick Kiln localities, where there are extremely needy people working on brick kilns with their families. Our motive is to withdraw child workers from the kilns & educate them and also to provide basic education to adults.


Our staff is trained to understand & recognize the requirements of a deprived society & to build up the morale of the inhabitants living in the targeted areas with their positive attitude & kind attention. Our organized MIS system allows for all PSTA work plans to be expedited like clockwork.
