Rohayl’s hands-on work in education started more than 15 years ago, in 2011, when he realized that education is the only way to truly transform Pakistan. He began visiting government schools in Karachi and organizing sponsored trips to recreational and educational places, such as the Karachi Zoo, he used these opportunities to personally educate the children about animals, nature, and wildlife. By covering their expenses, including transportation and meals, he ensured that government school students gained equitable access to holistic, real-world educational experiences that actively expanded their horizons.

SLUM School was founded in 2016 by Mohammad Rohayl Varind. SLUM School is more than a charity or welfare initiative. It is a revolution. From day one, it was built as a complete alternative education system for the millions of children Pakistan had forgotten: out-of-school children, street children, child labourers, children born in slums, underprivileged youth, and illiterate adults who the system left behind.

For more than 10 years, Rohayl has proven what one man with a mission can do. One man army is not a title it is a testament. A decade of showing up, building from nothing, and refusing to let poverty be a death sentence for a child’s future.

The children no government counted, no system protected, and no school welcomed. The child labourers whose tiny hands carried bricks before they ever held a pencil. The street children who learned survival before they learned the alphabet. The children of slums who were told by silence, by neglect, by poverty that education was not for them.

SLUM School by Mohammad Rohayl Varind was built to tell them otherwise.

It began with one man, one belief, and one refusal the refusal to accept that millions of Pakistani children would grow up without ever knowing what they were capable of.

Mohammad Rohayl Varind did not wait for permission. He did not wait for the government to act, for donors to arrive, or for the world to notice. He walked into the slums himself. He sat with the children the world had abandoned. And he built from nothing, with nothing Pakistan’s first solar-powered night school for out-of-school children, street children, child labourers, children born in slums, underprivileged youth, and illiterate adults who the system left behind.

Rohayl’s educational programs have educated thousands of underserved learners, ranging from out-of-school children, street children, and child laborers to underprivileged youth and illiterate adults. By leveraging social media and his free online educational websites, he has expanded this mission's digital footprint to reach millions worldwide.
