Our Founders
Every institution is just a person who refused to give up. Rozhn got two of them.

Sir Akhtar Baloch
In 2010, Sir Akhtar Baloch arrived in Karachi from Khairabad, Balochistan, and saw something that wouldn't let him rest: a neighbourhood full of bright young people with nowhere to learn. So he opened his own home and taught — for free, for five years. On 03 August 2015, that living-room classroom became Rozhn Institute.

Sir Ameer Baloch
Every founder needs someone who believes in the idea as much as he does. For Rozhn, that was Sir Ameer Baloch. Side by side with Sir Akhtar, he turned a one-room dream into an institution that now serves students in two cities, a thousand kilometres apart.
The Journey
-
2010
Sir Akhtar Baloch arrives in Karachi from Khairabad, Balochistan. He sees talent everywhere and classrooms nowhere — and decides to do something about it himself.
-
2010 – 2015
His home becomes a school. No fee, no sign on the door — just a teacher, his students, and five years of quiet proof that the idea works.
-
03 August 2015
With Sir Ameer Baloch at his side, the idea gets a name and a roof: Rozhn Institute opens its doors. The monthly fee — one hundred rupees.
-
Today
Two branches, a thousand kilometres apart — Kohi Goth in Karachi and Khairabad in Turbat — and the same promise: every student pays only what their family can afford.
“Good education should not depend on what a family earns. At Rozhn, students pay a small fee — and they pay it according to what they can afford. That has been the rule since day one, and it is not changing.”
