Our Story

Think about your childhood. What do you recall? Did you go to a school you always wanted to? Were you forced to study? Did you do anything out of the way to study? Did you color outside the lines?Some of the best memories everyone has as a child are being messy, doing whatever they like, and living their imagination while having fun. However, everyone is not that lucky. Such is the story of our founder, Mr. Yasar Rashid. Mr. Rashid’s father passed away when he was 9 years old and he was left to face the brutal realities of the world.

Be that as it may, it became difficult for his mother to make the ends meet. He and his 3 elder sisters were dropped out from the English medium schools they have been studying in and admitted in the government school. The sudden shift was unimaginable. Everything from the quality of education to the environment was entirely different. Mr. Rashid could not study and complained to his mother who outright rejected his claim and told him that studying in the government school is the only option. It is then when he realized that the importance of studying and worked hard. He obtained scholarship from grade 5 and onwards, and never again asked his mother for his educational expenses.

Life continued, and he strived hard to make his mark. Be that as it may, the hard work paid off. Mr. Rashid served in the top positions of highly reputable organizations. With the vision to do something for so many children who do not have access to high quality education, he inaugurated CYTE Foundation in 2013.
