  "account": "inDrive, a global mobility and urban services company, has partnered with the CIRCLE Women Association and Tech Valley to launch a free STEM and AI education program for the children of its driver community in Pakistan. This initiative comes at a time when 25 million children aged 5 to 16 in Pakistan are not in school, making it the second largest out-of-school population in the world. The program, available to drivers in the Platinum and Legend loyalty tiers, provides over 750 children with training in coding, digital citizenship, and generative AI. The initiative aims to equip the next generation with essential tech and AI skills needed to thrive in tomorrow's economy. Awais Saeed, Country Manager for inDrive Pakistan, emphasized the importance of this investment in drivers' children's future, stating that the program is a direct contribution to their future prospects. Sadaffe Abid, Founder and CEO of CIRCLE Women, explained that the program provides children with hands-on digital and AI skills, making them more capable of navigating an AI-driven economy. Umar Farooq, Founder and CEO of Tech Valley, highlighted the need for digital literacy and AI readiness for all children, regardless of their access to quality schooling. The program will be delivered through a combination of in-person workshops and online training, targeting children aged 8 to 18 in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. Through dedicated training centers and Google Classrooms, participants will receive instruction in Scratch Game Studio, AI Web Prototyping, App Engineering, digital citizenship, and ethical generative AI prompt engineering. This comprehensive approach ensures that the children receive both practical skills and theoretical knowledge, preparing them for the challenges of the future.",
