Pakistan Children’s Academy
Saqiba Rahimuddin is the founder of and life time chairperson of the Pakistan Children’s Academy. Saqiba has always had a special place in her heart for the children of this country. She felt that it was unfair that the children from privileged families had more opportunities to participate in circular and extracurricular activities through out their student life so she decided to create as institution where children from all back grounds came together to participate in different activities.
