Early Learning Center at Baba Island

The Mohammad Jawed Akhai Foundation (MJAF), the philanthropic arm of the Martin Dow Group, has inaugurated an Early Learning Centre (ELC) at the DMC Boys and Girls School on Baba Island, off Karachi’s coast, according to a press release. Established under MJAF’s Leher programme, the initiative is designed to provide children with access to quality early childhood education, giving them a strong start in their formative years.

The ELC will serve children aged three to five years, using kinaesthetic learning, an approach that encourages children to learn through play, exploration, and experience. This hands-on method develops mental, physical, and emotional growth, building the foundations of confidence, curiosity, and lifelong learning.
