inDrive, a global mobility and urban services platform, has partnered with the CIRCLE Women Association and Tech Valley to launch a comprehensive, free STEM and artificial intelligence education programme for the children of its driver community.
Against the backdrop of Pakistan’s broader educational landscape, there are roughly 25 million children between the ages of 5 and 16 who are not in school, marking the second largest out-of-school population in the world. Providing accessible, high-quality learning opportunities has never been more urgent. To bridge this divide, the initiative delivers targeted training through two specialized pillars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Launched in September, 2026, the programme is an exclusive benefit for drivers enrolled in the platform\u2019s Platinum and Legend loyalty tiers, the initiative provides over 750 children across Pakistan with professional training in coding, digital citizenship, and generative AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Awais Saeed, Country Manager for inDrive Pakistan, highlighted the core motivation behind the initiative, stating, “Our drivers are the true backbone of inDrive, working tirelessly every day to keep our communities connected. This initiative is a direct investment in their children’s future. By collaborating with trusted leaders like CIRCLE Women and Tech Valley, we are proud to offer this benefit to our drivers, equipping the next generation with the tech and AI skills to thrive in tomorrow’s economy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sadaffe Abid, Founder and CEO of CIRCLE Women, commented, “A child who can build an app sees the world differently than a child who can only use one. With inDrive, CIRCLE Women is giving children of drivers hands-on digital and AI skills. In an AI-shaped economy, these skills aren\u2019t optional; they\u2019re the entry ticket. And the earlier a child learns to build with technology instead of just consuming it, the more of the world they get to build.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Umar Farooq, Founder and CEO of Tech Valley, said, \u201cEvery child deserves to grow up digitally literate, safe, and AI-ready, not just those with access to the best schools. This partnership enables real skills, real reach, and real accountability by bringing structured digital learning straight to the families of inDrive drivers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The in-person component is being delivered by the CIRCLE Women Association, a non-profit organisation focused on women’s economic empowerment, engaging between 300 and 320 children aged 8 to 18 through dedicated training centers in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. Over a three-month period, participants receive fully equipped laptops and hands-on guidance across three distinct age-specific tracks, including Scratch Game Studio, AI Web Prototyping, and App Engineering, enabling students to build functional digital portfolios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Complementing the physical workshops, Tech Valley, an official Google for Education partner, is delivering online digital literacy and AI training via Google Classrooms for 400 to 450 students in grades 6 to 10. The curriculum features Google’s ‘Be Internet Awesome’ digital citizenship module and the ‘Gemini Academy’ for ethical generative AI prompt engineering, supported by live weekly sessions and expert facilitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
