LAMS

This is the LAMS school


LAMS is a school in Sultan Town, outside the city of Faisalabad in Pakistan. The school was established in 1996 as a CSR initiative in collaboration with the weaving company Bokhari (Norpak International) and offers preschool, primary and secondary education to girls and boys aged 4 to 18 years. Close to 1,000 students currently are enrolled at LAMS and annually more than 25 girls graduate are offered scholarships for further education.


All the children of the employees at the weavery are offered schooling free of cost. The operation of LAMS is financed through the school's grants from the weavery, as well as funds collected by the LAMS Foundation in Norway.

Since 1996...

Since 1996, LAMS has offered quality education to girls and boys who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to go to school. Often the students, especially the girls, are the first in their families to go to school.

Knowledge is power

Education is more than reading and writing. With education comes the opportunity to actively participate in the surrounding society and influence one's own future. With education comes knowledge and with knowledge comes power.

1000 students

LAMS currently enrols nearly 1,000 students, most of them the daughters of employees at the Bokhari weaving mill. The students are from 4 to 17 years old. After finishing school, graduating students are offered scholarships for further studies.
