About Our Founder

Rahe Ilm was founded by Mohammad Daud Husain, a student and passionate advocate for children’s rights and education. Growing up with a deep awareness of the challenges faced by children in underprivileged communities, he was moved by the harsh reality of child labor and the barriers that prevent millions of children in Pakistan from accessing quality education.

Believing that every child deserves the chance to learn and dream, Mohammad started Rahe Ilm as a student-led initiative to raise awareness, mobilize communities, and create opportunities for children to break free from cycles of poverty and exploitation. His vision is to build a more inclusive future where education is not a privilege, but a right for all.
