CRI is a non-profit educational and training organization based in Washington DC. It was in 2002 that CRI commenced implementation of its “creating democratic schools programme” under a grant from the USAID.

It was under the very programme that early childhood education continues to be undertaken at a considerable scale in the country. CRI provides training and technical assistance, resource materials and active learning classroom equipment to all its 114 schools (104 government and 10 private) in Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Karachi.
