Pakistan’s leading digital microfinance institution, Mobilink Bank, has taken another step toward inclusive and sustainable education by solarizing the Digital Arts Lab at Khatoon-e-Pakistan Government Girls Secondary School in Karachi. The initiative, implemented under the bank’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, aims to ensure uninterrupted access to digital and creative learning for girls by addressing one of the most persistent challenges facing public schools: unreliable electricity.
The Digital Arts Lab is operated by Zindagi Trust, an organization known for transforming public education spaces into modern, future-ready learning environments. With the installation of a solar energy system, the lab can now function without disruption, allowing students to consistently engage with digital tools, creative software, and technology-based learning activities.
The project directly benefits around 320 students from grades 6 to 8 and is designed to support all future cohorts enrolled in the lab. By securing a clean and dependable energy source, the initiative removes infrastructure barriers that often limit the effectiveness of digital education in government schools.
Haaris Mahmood Chaudhary, President and CEO of Mobilink Bank, said that access to sustainable energy is essential for meaningful learning in today’s technology-driven world. He noted that the partnership with Zindagi Trust reflects the bank’s commitment to empowering young girls with the skills they need to learn, create, and thrive, while also contributing to long-term environmental sustainability.
Zindagi Trust highlighted that lasting education reform requires more than updated curricula—it also depends on enabling infrastructure. By integrating renewable energy into a technology-focused learning space, the Trust reinforced its mission to ensure that students in public schools are not left behind as education rapidly digitizes.
Beyond its immediate impact, the solarization project is a long-term investment in the school’s learning environment. It strengthens educational continuity for current students and secures lasting benefits for generations to come at Khatoon-e-Pakistan Government Girls Secondary School.
The initiative underscores a shared vision between Mobilink Bank and Zindagi Trust to bridge critical gaps in education through scalable, sustainable, and socially responsible solutions—particularly those that advance girls’ education, digital inclusion, and environmental responsibility.
