Telenor Pakistan, as part of its Karo Mumkin initiative, is helping provide 10,000 paper notebooks to school children belonging to low income families. The notebooks are made from recycled waste paper by Sabz, an NGO founded by Fariha Ambreen.

Fariha is a Lahore-based visionary entrepreneur who has worked closely with Telenor Pakistan on the recycled paper notebooks project.

The handsets will empower the students as they set off towards a brighter future.
