'Schools TB Clubs' project was launched in October 2008 with the assistance of the Global Fund (GFATM). Its for the first time in the world that such an initiative has been taken in which school children in the age group 10 to 16 are made aware about tuberculosis and then made 'Ambassadors or Advocates of TB' whereby they go back in their community and create awareness regarding the disease including its spread, symptoms and treatment.

From 1st October to 30th September 2008 across Pakistan in 10 districts School TB Clubs have been formed in 50 schools. More then 1500 children have become members of these clubs while almost 30,000 children have been provided with awareness.

More details about the project will be posted on this page in a few days with pictures and details of the activities undertaken during the past one year.
