Running For Education
Tabarak will attempt to run 1000 miles (1,600 kms) across Pakistan in 5 weeks, from his high school, Cadet College Hasan Abdal, all the way to his undergraduate college, IBA Karachi.
Tabarak aims to raise awareness about the critical issue of out-of-school children in Pakistan and raise 1 Million USD for The Citizens Foundation (TCF), an education non-profit that operates 2,000 schools in the most marginalized communities across Pakistan.
By raising 1 Million USD we can support the education of at least 7,000 students. TCF’s mission to provide quality education to underprivileged children resonates deeply with my own values and aspirations.
About Me
Hi, I'm Tabarak
I am a 27 year old, finance professional based out of New York. I have spent 16 years of my life away from my family in pursuit of better education, career, and essentially a better life.
- Cities I have lived in: Taxila, Hasan Abdal, Karachi, Lahore, Cluj Napoca, Boston, New York
- Schools I went to: HITEC, Cadet College Hasan Abdal, IBA Karachi, Northeastern University
- Places I worked at: 2IQ Research, Vitality Capital, Alix Partners
In 1991, my father established the first private school in rural Taxila where there was no other school within an 8 mile radius. Over the years, he helped establish 16 schools in the region, transforming the educational landscape for countless families. His dedication to education has profoundly influenced my own desire to give back to the community.
Inspired by his legacy, I have decided to combine my passion for running with my desire to educate every kid in Pakistan and undertake a monumental challenge: to run 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) across Pakistan in 5 weeks. This journey will start from my high school, Cadet College Hasan Abdal, and end at my undergraduate alma mater, IBA Karachi.
