What we say

Education, especially for disadvantaged children, is a key challenge in Pakistan. Around 44% of Pakistani children aged 5-16 are not attending school, the second-highest number of out of school children in the world. Pakistan is facing a considerable to improve this figure. With the help of our donors, we attempt to decrease the number of out of school children by providing them financial support. This will remove one of the biggest barriers to education and improve early learning quality for disadvantaged communities. We are truly grateful for the generous support of our Pakistani and international friends supporting our cause. We believe that together we can make a difference. With your support, we can help much more vulnerable children.

Education is the only way forward for the progress of any nation. Unfortunately, around half of our kids do not go to school mainly due to financial constraints. My dream is no child deprived of education due to financial reasons (particularly girls). I request all charitable people to come forward and support this noble cause and help us in reducing the no of children who could not go to school or struggling to pay their educational expenses in underprivileged communities of Pakistan.
