The Gift of Light and Hope

Updated: February 03, 2026

From Karachi, Pakistan's largest city, a 55-kilometer journey brings you to Hub Town, Balochistan — and to an unexpected sight in the desert: a bright red schoolhouse, standing boldly against the sand.

Just steps away from SPIC's 2×660 MW supercritical coal-fired power project, this is the TCF Community School, built and sustained by SPIC since 2020.

Here, children from underprivileged families step through its doors — gaining not only knowledge, but the courage to envision a future once beyond their grasp.

In a landscape defined by silence and heat, this school is more than a building — it is a promise. A gift of light. A gift of hope.
