Schools: Educating underserved girls in Pakistan

We are pleased to share that after battling a second wave of Covid-19, our schools have reopened after almost 1.5 months under the Government directives. Children are back in their classrooms resuming normal routine that allows them to complete their studies and continue to the next level. We are taking extra care to ensure the safety of our students and staff with a strong emphasis on good personal hygiene, health- consciousness and encouraging physical activities and integrating health promotion materials into the school curriculum.

The education sector has faced huge loss during the last 9 months. With closure of schools on November 26, 2020, our teachers were once again back to their routine on delivering books and lessons to the children confined to their homes. It has been tough for the parents as they struggled with their children at home during this period. They express their utmost appreciation of the role of teachers in the lives and well-being of their children

Girls are often unduly impacted in crises like Covid-19. Given the inequities faced by families in the neighborhoods where they live, the pandemic has posed a great challenge to the continuance of education.  Increased poverty puts them at a greater risk of early marriage and increased responsibilities, preventing them from returning to school. Our teachers, committed in their mission to educate and empower girls, are actively engaging with parents of our students, to keep every girl in school.

Thank you for empowering our students to live their most successful lives! We will keep you updated on our schools and students.
