Karachi witnessed a powerful display of community solidarity this morning as hundreds of cyclists took over the city’s streets in support of education. More than 400 riders participated in The Citizens Foundation’s annual ‘Cycle for Change’ event, turning the city into a vibrant reminder of the urgent need for quality education for Pakistan’s underprivileged children.
Participants set off from various points across Karachi and converged at the TCF Qayyumabad Campus, where their collective presence underscored a shared commitment to helping children from low-income communities access learning opportunities.
The event was led by Mrs Dawoodi and Mrs Rubina Kamal of the Supporters of TCF, with strong representation from well-known cycling groups including Critical Mass Karachi, headed by CEO Mazhar Valjee. Their involvement further elevated the call to address the country’s out-of-school children crisis and bolster TCF’s mission.
