Islamabad United announced that they will continue their partnership with The Citizens Foundation (TCF) for the seventh edition of the PSL.
TCF is one of the leading organizations in the field of education for the less privileged in Pakistan. Currently their schools serve over 250,000 students in more than 1,500 schools all over Pakistan. In 2017 UNESCO honoured TCF’s adult literacy program (Aagahi) with the Confucius Prize for Literacy.
Regarding the partnership, Ali Naqvi, the owner of Islamabad United said, “We have always believed that our duty and responsibility to Pakistan goes beyond our immediate work. We’ve taken pride in being a socially conscious and progressive organization. With our association with TCF, we have always believed in presenting and promoting the best that Pakistan has to offer, while still using the platform of Pakistan cricket, especially the PSL, to achieve those goals. TCF is one of the most admirable organizations in the country, the work they’ve done, the lives they’ve changed are obvious for all. Our players have visited their schools over the past few years, and this has only emboldened our partnership. Their belief in youth empowerment and education is something that we share, thus this partnership is a natural fit for us, and we feel happy to continue our association with TCF.”
