Form 40 Youth Clubs to develop leaders in Pakistan

Muwakhat Foundation believe that  if youth receive awareness sessions on basic legal right for women, gender equity, education for both gender, basic human rights etc will help to empower women because youth are more receptive male and female to listen and bring positive change within and community.

It  is important to provide platform for youth male and female where they express their views, build confidence, set ultimate vision of life, focus on education, understand opposite gender ,knowledge exchange visit and join with world to bring change.

In Pakistan, 65% youth of total population 2017 and 50% are female but literacy rate is 26%. Youth of Pakistan has no direction which leads to increase issues related to health, domestic violence, low literacy rate, unemployment.   If we really want to end terrorism then help to youth especially women to empower in decision making of life.
