AK Physical Education and Sport (PES) Program was launched in 2017 with the objective of engaging Pakistani children in sports for mental and physical strength and effecting peace. Children of all ages are taught specific skills along with instructions on peace through sport, health, fitness, hygiene and civic values through participation in a wide range of sports.  Sport is also used as a means for children to engage with their communities and taking entrepreneurial initiatives.

Phase I of the Annual School Program was completed successfully on 23rd May, 2017 at a local Govt. school in Lahore, Pakistan.
