Implementing Partners
Netsol Technologies has been in partnership with DIL since 2017, when they helped create the application used to pilot DIL’s TEAL (Technology-enabled Assisted Learning) program. They generously dedicated their time and resources to ensure that the application made for TEAL was of the highest quality. Netsol’s CEO, Najeeb Ghauri, continues to be a staunch supporter of education and female empowerment.
DIL's ‘Read to Know Read to Grow’ E-library for rural school projects is made possible by the support of Starfall.com. Starfall generously provided access to DIL students’ vocabulary-controlled e-stories beginning with phonics-based decodable e-books to longer, more complex stories. Starfall’s e-books, designed to build reading proficiency among users, comprised the core content of the program.
This ‘Read to Know Read to Grow’ E-library for rural school projects was built in no small part because of the support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The contents are the sole responsibility of DIL (Developments in Literacy) and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government.
Cooperation for Advancement Rehabilitation and Education (CARE)
In 2002, DIL began a partnership with the Cooperation for Advancement Rehabilitation and Education (CARE), to adopt five government schools in the Sheikhupura and Gujranwala Districts of Punjab. This number eventually rose to six schools. DIL-CARE schools are situated in densely populated, poverty-stricken areas, inhabited mostly by poor tillers. Children often have to work to contribute to their family income, which causes high dropout rates and low enrollment rates. Through the years DIL and CARE have made significant improvements to teaching quality, student enrollment, and student dropout rates.
DIL began a second partnership in the Khairpur area with the Indus Resource Center (IRC) in 2001 to provide quality primary and middle school education to girls. In 2005, DIL and IRC set up the Beyond Middle School program. This program offers scholarships and educational assistance to middle school graduates who wish to attend high school.
Naz High School Old Boys Welfare Trust (NOWA)
Naz High School Old Boys Welfare Trust (NOWA) was established and registered in 1981 as a non-governmental organization to improve the education sector in Khairpur. It was founded by a group of dedicated professionals—alumni of Naz Old Boys High School in Khairpur. DIL began working with NOWA in 2001, making it one of DIL’s longest-running projects. The DIL-NOWA schools have provided a rich experience for other project partners to learn from. Apart from the NOWA Pirbhat DIL Project, NOWA is involved in running a private English-medium school and has recently finished a formal education fellowship program for the Sindh Education Foundation (SEF).
