The pilot program will be funded by Zindigi – powered by JS Bank, Pakistan’s fastest-growing digital banking initiative targeted toward Gen Z and Millennials. PAGE will deliver the program with the technical support of Prince’s Trust International founded by His Majesty King Charles III, formerly The Prince of Wales, to tackle the global youth unemployment crisis.
