Broadclass-Listen To Learn

Today, we celebrate the joy, imagination, and limitless potential of every child.

But more importantly, we celebrate their right to learn, to dream, to be safe, and to be heard

At POWER99, we believe that every child deserves a future filled with opportunity — whether in a classroom, through creative expression, or by simply having a voice in their community. Let’s work together to build a world where learning is accessible, cultures are celebrated, and young minds can flourish without fear or barriers.

Access to Education as a Lifeline During Crisis – POWER99’s Commitment

Islamabad: Access to education is not just a basic right — in times of crisis, it becomes a lifeline. POWER99, a pioneer in interactive radio education in Pakistan, is once again stepping up to ensure that children affected by the recent floods do not lose their right to learn.

Pakistan is facing the compounding effects of climate change, with devastating floods repeatedly displacing families, destroying schools, and isolating communities. These disasters threaten to deepen educational inequalities and risk leaving thousands of children out of school.

Through its award- winning Interactive Radio Instruction (IRI) programs POWER99 continues to deliver education where it is needed most. Broadclass – Listen to Learn, one of its most successful initiatives, provides literacy, numeracy, and life skills lessons to children in remote and disaster-affected areas. By turning radio into classrooms, POWER99 transforms homes, shelters, and community spaces into safe learning environments, keeping education uninterrupted even during emergencies.

POWER99’s work goes beyond basic education. Its programs such as Awaz-e-Dosti and the Farewell Land podcast series focus on migration, displacement, and refugee issues. These platforms give a voice to displaced communities, highlight their struggles, and share their resilience with a wider audience. In flood-hit regions, these broadcasts have become critical for sharing life-saving information, psychosocial support messages, and educational content that helps children and families navigate uncertainty.

Recognizing the importance of local capacity building, POWER99 also runs trainings, mentoring, and internship programs for teachers, youth leaders, and citizen journalists. These initiatives build skills in conflict-sensitive reporting, inclusive education, and crisis communication, ensuring that responses are locally driven and culturally sensitive.
