    Problem Statement

    1

    Rising Construction
    Waste

    In Pakistan, there are around 10,000 construction companies resulting in large-scale real estate development. In all of these construction portfolios, construction waste is a common occurrence with a massive carbon footprint.

    2

    Educational Dilemma
    in Pakistan

    In Punjab, 4200 schools; in Sindh, 37000+ schools; in KPK, 10000 schools lack basic facilities, and in Balochistan, 60-70% of children are out of school due to an inherent shortage of schools. Most of these schools suffer from infrastructural damage.

    3

    Slum Proliferation

    Urban decay and slum proliferation in Pakistan are a by-product of rapid urbanization, population growth, and rising poverty. Common issues include non-concrete houses, open sewers, dingy streets, waste dumpage and poor sanitation.

    Our Solution

    TameerSeTaleem connects the construction industry of Pakistan with its educational sector and
    actively promotes the reuse of excess construction material to rehabilitate underprivileged
    schools, particularly those in slum areas.

    Our Vision

    Today if we build the future of underprivileged children by rehabilitating schools, tomorrow, they
    will help build our nation’s future.

    Our Achieved Milestones

    First Phase : In our first phase, we converted more than 4000 cubic meters of our wood waste into 100+ furniture items for dilapidated schools in a slum area called Mehrabadi. The school belonged to Baithak School Network, a network of over 150 schools spread across the country that provides free education to underprivileged children in impoverished areas.

    Second Phase : In the second phase, we renovated a school based in the Golra region of Islamabad, run by the same school network. The 15 years old school building is a shabby structure with peeling walls, soiled rooms, and a ring of solid waste surrounding its building. The renovation utilized leftover construction materials and waste like cement waste, concrete cylinders, paints, and other construction paraphernalia to rehabilitate the school.

    The Big Picture

    1 Chair = ∞ Futures

    It’s not just one chair but the representation of a generation that circulates on a chair. One chair is the evidence of a nation being built, of youth that learned and studied to become doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, and much more. It indeed represents the foundation of a nation. It’s resilience, inclusivity, empathy, and passion. It’s hope in the middle of nowhere.


    The more we research and innovate this reuse model, the better future we leave for our upcoming generations.

    Our Partners

    What our partners have to say

    Testimonials

    Future Avenues of TST

    Playgrounds / Futsal Ground

    We aim to build playgrounds in underserved areas or in their vicinity to induce healthier and athletic spark among the underprivileged children and enable promising athletes.

    Repainting Schools / Shelter Homes

    We painted the donated furniture to Baithak school with grey and white paint instead of wasting it. We aim to reuse our leftover paints and veneers to add colors to the underserved areas by repainting schools, shelter homes, hospitals, orphanages, or other public places that suffer from urban decay.

    Cement Vases

    We aim to create cement vases through the reuse of excess cement and position them at public parks and commercial centers near underserved areas for their beautification. The vases can incorporate artistic designs, powerful messages, and promote sustainability.

    Shelter Homes

    We will collaborate with the public and private partners to build shelter homes, fixed or portable. They can be positioned near public places for protection of kids, elderly people, and vulnerable populace from harsh weather conditions.

    Donation Centers/Recycling Workshops

    In the long-term, donation centers for collection of construction leftover material and reusable waste from industry partners will be established.
    Recycling Workshops will also be set up for the conversion of the collected donations into useful products that can be resold or reused for facilitation of underprivileged communities.
    The avenues will provide more employment opportunities and skills education for underprivileged communities.

      2. Formalizes the reuse of excess construction material and waste present at countrywide construction sites.
      3. Formalizes a proper framework for monitoring construction waste disposal.
      4. Sets up donation centres for the collection of excess construction material and reusable waste from the construction industry.
      5. Sets up recycling workshops near underserved communities to convert the donated materials into useful products for schools and as a result, also provide employment opportunities for the populace.
      6. Promotes partnerships with key stakeholders, NGOs, IGOs, and private entities to promote this initiative across Pakistan and the world.
