Society Project Description

What Makes Us Special

EmpowerED is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering young girls in Pakistan facing gender inequality by providing them with educational children's books written by children themselves. We hope to bridge cultural gaps and foster global empathy by creating and delivering stories that encourage self-belief, creativity, and a love for learning. EmpowerED stands out for its unique approach of creating books BY the children FOR the children. By involving elementary school students in the creation of culturally relevant content, we aim to break barriers in girls' education, promote gender equality, and inspire a sense of empowerment among young girls in Pakistan and beyond.

At EmpowerED, we are dedicated to creating children's books that are not only educational but also engaging and culturally inspiring. By involving elementary and secondary students in the creation of these books, we aim to provide Pakistani girls with stories of the world through the eyes of children their own age to offer them a fresh and relatable perspective. In partnership with the Pakistan Learning Festival and the Alif Laila Book Bus Society (IBBY Pakistan), EmpowerED organizes cultural exchange events that bring together Pakistani and Korean students. These events showcase artistic creations, including artworks and written pieces, allowing students to share and celebrate each other's traditions and heritage. Our goal is to bridge the physical and cultural distances that separate Pakistani and Korean children, promoting a deeper appreciation of each other's cultures.
