This school is specifically dedicated to the grooming and education of working children on the streets: Muniza Basir.

The late pop singer Nazia Hassan, apart from being a famous singer, was a philanthropist at heart, and she continues sends her blessings to the street children from heaven. A new charity called the Nazia Hassan Foundation will give underprivileged children the opportunity to educate and groom themselves.

Muniza Basir, Mother of the famous Pakistani pop artist, spoke to Us about the family's latest initiative.

"We are working towards establishing a school here in Karachi, but this is not just any other school in Pakistan. This school is specifically dedicated to the grooming and education of working children on the streets - who have been burdened with the expectation of earning for their entire families at the expense of their own education," she says.
