Inauguration of Dr. Tariq Ghori Campus, TCF School
This School has been built in loving memory of Dr. Tariq Ghori 2023
On 18th September 2023, the TCF School Dr Tariq Ghori Campus was inaugurated by Former Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah, Mrs. Sadaf Tariq Ghori, Jawed Ali Ghori (Chairman Matco Foods Limited) and Khalid Sarfaraz Ghori (CEO Matco Foods Limited), in Karachi Pakistan. The Citizens Foundation (TCF) is a non-profit organization that operates over 1,800 schools in Pakistan, educating around 300,000 students in the lesser privileged areas of Pakistan.
The school has been constructed in memory of Dr. Tariq Ghori (Late), one of the founders of Matco's rice production business, and Director of Sales and Marketing. Dr. Tariq Ghori (Late) was a great champion and supporter of charity work and community development, and this school will continue this legacy.
Located in Taiser Town, North Karachi, the school will provide quality primary education to about 200 children in one of the most poverty-stricken districts in the city. The capacity is expected to expand to 300 students with morning and afternoon school shifts. The construction of the school has been funded predominantly by Ghori Trust, operated by Matco Foods Limited to support community service initiatives in the education, health, and rehabilitation spheres; and generous support of family members and friends of Dr. Tariq Ghori. This is the 2nd school under TCF that has been funded by Ghori Trust.
