Posted on | September 17, 2012 | No Comments

Students of Faisal public school had came up with an entrepreneurial idea by looking at the community demand of having hand fans. Their city Multan is located in southern Punjab region which is the warmest place in the country, where temperature could rise till 50c. Due to the continuous shortfall of electricity during the summer time in this area, people were in need of having hand fans when their is no electricity. Students collected the recycled materials from their homes and school canteen and started creating hand fans for the local community. Children found it very exciting, easy and sustainable experience. They earned handsome amount of money by selling these fans and also believed that they are contributing to the environment positively.

Faisal Public school is MKFC partner in Pakistan and their teachers have been taking MKFC teacher training course where entrepreneurship was part of curriculum and the course.
