Developments in Literacy envisions a Pakistan where every child can thrive in tomorrow’s world.
Our Mission
DIL delivers transformative education to underserved children in Pakistan—especially girls—by operating high-quality schools, empowering local educators, and innovating technology solutions to ensure that every child succeeds.
Did you know that Pakistan has the second highest number of out-of-school children in the world—over 26 million?
Nearly 4 in 10 school-age children in Pakistan are missing from classrooms. And for those who do attend, school doesn’t always lead to learning. National assessments show that 80% of 10-year-olds cannot read a basic story, and most children struggle to master foundational math and science. This crisis hits girls hardest. In many communities, they face additional barriers: unsafe commutes to school, early marriage pressures, and cultural resistance to their education.
Our Work
At DIL, we prepare children for the future they dream of building.
