Sindh, Pakistan’s second largest province, has made recent economic progress, but its education indicators are still low, with about 4 million children ages 5 to 12 not in school.

The Sindh Reading Program is one of three complementary USAID projects within the Sindh Basic Education Program (SBEP), a multi-faceted USAID initiative designed with the government of Sindh’s School Education and Literacy Department (SE&LD) to upgrade and implement basic education.
The Sindh Reading Program (SRP) is a five-year USAID-funded education project launched to improve early grade reading and establish formal and nonformal systems capable of continuing long-term support for reading. The project covered seven districts of the Sindh province (Larkana, Qambar-Shahdadkot, Kashmore, Jacobabad, Khairpur, Sukkur, and Dadu) and five towns of Karachi (Orangi, Layri, Kemari, Bin Qasim and Gaddap).
