Mr.Gian Gill (Late) Founder

Renaissance Education Foundation (REF) was established in 1996 and registered under the Societies Registration ACT, XXI of 1860 (RP/1896-L/S/04/909) as a NPO. REF is grant of approval; a committee was constituted to evaluate the performance of said NPO towards achievement of its aims and objects. The Committee has evaluated the performance of this NPO and has vide its report No. 638 dated 20-03-2007, recommended grant of approval under section 2(36) of the Income Tax ordinance, 2001.Accordingly in exercise of powers conferred under section 2(36) of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 read with Rule 212 (1) of the Income Tax Rules, 2002 approval is granted to REF for the purpose of the said provisions of law. Approval is hereby granted subject to the condition that proper accounts are to be maintained and returns of income filed as required under the law. The REF maintains its transparency through yearly audits conducted by the renowned Chartered accountants Shafiq and Company.

About us: You know more than REF that the 21st century is going to be the age of computerizes education. No one can deny the fact that to face the challenges of the future we have to equip ourselves with an adequate knowledge and skills of computerizes education. The whole world but in a particular way the third world country like Pakistan needs highly qualified technical experts but sorry to say that the problem of our people specially of our Christian community is poverty. Being Minority there is already almost no facilities but if one have no money is worse, even if some succeed in getting basic education. They can’t afford education and educational training expenses. So the poor parents are forced to send their children for odd jobs like sweeping, shoe polishing and as street hawker. Doing this they don’t earn much to support themselves. Some feel shame to do these kinds of works so they join bad company of friends and then they end up with drug and gambling. On the other hand young girls of poor families leave the school and are send to the factories, where there is no guarantee that they will be safe since in these arias the poor simple girls are often raped and left helpless. Like so many other good hearted people “REF” too used to feel terrible for such sad situations and that’s all, nothing else. But recently the Lord Jesus have made,“REF” realize how much It can do by offering “REF” own competency in computerizes education to help these our poor brothers & sisters.
