Schools: Educating underserved girls in Pakistan

Moqah Foundation is focused on educating girls and empowering women. Communities where child marriages, gender discrimination and poverty prevents many girls from going to school, Moqah Foundation schools have been creating awareness and preparing students and teachers on women’s rights. Each year the students and teachers celebrate the day in school, but this year they will be celebrating International Women’s Day with the entire community! The students are excitedly working on preparing banners and speeches as the day approaches.

By first week of March, our school term also comes to an end. What an incredible year it has been as we teach and inspire youth to recognize their potential and realize their dreams! All year long, other than school-day learning, students participated in activities like Global Kid Connect Pen Pal Program and workshops like Tolerance and Active Citizenship. We are excitedly waiting to welcome our students back in their new classes by April for the new 2020-2021 session. We have achieved an exciting milestone as our first batch of Grade 10 students as they will be taking the Standardized Tests under Board of Secondary Examination starting this week. We wish them best of luck as this exam determines if they can graduate high school. We will be seeing them soon after their exams -we are  offering Enterprise Development Training to our all graduates, providing them tools necessary for future employment and success, the ability to earn an income, and in a majority of cases, delay an early forced marriage. We are sending endless gratitude to all who have joined us in our journey.
