FLAME's mission is to promote literacy and increase access to basic education among the poorest children who are unable to attend the formal school system. These children are those that then fall victim to a host of social ills because they are growing up on the streets, with little purpose or direction in their lives.
FLAME was established in 2001 in Islamabad by Ambassador (Rtd) Mansoor Alam on the advice of the Literacy Commission of Pakistan who expressed the need for an organization that would fill the void in the non-formal education system to help increase literacy in the country. At present, FLAME has successfully established 181 primary non-formal schools in Karachi , Islamabad and interior Sindh. More
