Germany and Pakistan have inaugurated the Urban Cohesion Hub in Karachi. It was the perfect way to celebrate world literacy day. This platform will provide children, youth, and woman a joyful learning environment to become literate.
The hub is a community centre which will serve as a place for encounters between urban Afghan refugees and Pakistani host communities residing in the twin cities to help foster social cohesion, an official stated.
Funded by the German Federal Foreign Office and established in cooperation with the Chief Commissionerate for Afghan Refugees under the Ministry of SAFRON, the Hub is set to support more than 30,000 refugee and host community members with integrated services in health, education, skills training, legal support, and recreational activities.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, the federal minister said: “For the last 40 years, Pakistanis have shown exemplary kindness, empathy and solidarity towards Afghan refugees in Pakistan.”
