About Us
Who We Are
We are here for outcome, not for income
Serve & Care Foundation (SCF) is a community-led education initiative founded by Roomi Merchant and Syed Yasir Afzal. It began with the aim of supporting education for underprivileged children by working closely with grassroots learning spaces and families.
Over time, SCF established its first learning center on the rooftop of a building in Garden West, Karachi, to serve out-of-school children. At this center, children were introduced to basic literacy through structured programs such as Jugnu and Jolly Phonics.
Today, SCF focuses on identifying out-of-school children and preparing them academically and socially for admission into mainstream educational institutions. The initiative also works closely with families to reduce barriers to education and promote long-term learning outcomes.
