In this episode of #NAEEM_SIKANDAR_PODCAST, we have invited Mr. Haroon Yasin who is a teacher and education entrepreneur in Pakistan but it wasn't until he left college that he discovered his passion for education. After abandoning his engineering degree, Haroon spent time in a slum village near his home in Pakistan and realized that children there did not have a safe space to play. At 18, he opened a school to help children in the community learn.  In 2015, Haroon founded the Orenda Project, which provides high-quality and engaging education to every child. Orenda digitized Pakistan's National Curriculum and developed Taleemabad, a mobile and web application that helps out-of-school children continue their studies. Thanks to a grant from the Malala Fund, Haroon expanded the Taleemabad curriculum to include secondary education. She is training teachers, community groups, and district officials to use Taleemabad to reach even more girls outside of school.
