Join us to support high merit-based scholarships including tuition fees, books, uniforms, laptops, transport, and medical assistance that open doors to financial independence for youth.
Transforming the youth of Pakistan into financially empowered individuals through quality education.
To create equal educational opportunities for high-potential, financially disadvantaged students by providing access to quality schooling, higher education, and vocational training through scholarships and holistic support, empowering them to achieve financial independence and personal growth.
At Orange Tree Foundation, we believe every student deserves access to quality education and the opportunity to build a future with dignity, confidence, and independence. Education is not a privilege for a few; it is a fundamental right for all.
Our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision: no deserving student should be deprived of education because of financial hardship. What started as a small scholarship initiative has grown into a nationwide movement, empowering thousands of students to pursue higher education and achieve financial independence.
Initially focused on supporting school-level education for underprivileged families, OTF has expanded its reach to colleges, universities, vocational training, and professional institutions. Beyond scholarships, we provide mentorship, healthcare support, and strong corporate partnerships, creating a holistic ecosystem that helps students succeed from the classroom to their careers. Today, OTF alumni proudly serve as doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, educators, and community leaders, multiplying the Foundation’s impact across Pakistan.
Today, Orange Tree Foundation has supported 2,858 students through 6,733 scholarships, disbursed PKR 1.85 billion in educational assistance, and built 93 ongoing partnerships with institutions and organizations. What began as a modest initiative has evolved into one of Pakistan’s leading scholarship programs, creating lasting opportunities and driving meaningful social change through education.
