ISLAMABAD: Shan Foods, a leading name in the food industry, said in a statement on Monday that it has once again partnered with The Citizens Foundation (TCF), a non-profit organization working to provide quality education to the underserved and less privileged children, to support its cause by sponsoring one of its schools located in Deh Rehri area of Karachi.
As a signatory of the UN Global Compact, Shan Foods has been working relentlessly to fulfill United Nation’s outlined sustainable development goals (SDGs).

Education, being one of the main pillars of a progressive society, has been a focus area that we have been working for. We hope that through all of our collective efforts, we can ensure access to quality education to every child in the country and achieve the dream of a prosperous Pakistan.”
