Help Build a School for 500 Orphans and Needy Children in Hattian Bala, Kashmir, Pakistan

Organised by READ Foundation

The children in Kashmir and Pakistan are in dire need of even the most basic education. Less than 50% of primary school aged children actually return to school. This has to change if we want them to pull themselves out of poverty. So please help.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Help me build a school for 500 vulnerable children at Hattian Bala, in the Muzaffarabad District, Kashmir. Which will provide a safe and suitable learning environment for young children to learn and play. This will cover primary classes for boys and girls. Giving them a solid earthquake resistant building, with clean water facilities and the right tools, teachers and equipment to help them grow. The beauty of this project is that it will support so many future generations with a valuable route out of poverty. It actually starts here.

The children of Pakistan are in dire need of even the most basic education facilities. Only 25% of existing schools have any form of boundary wall and only 31% have access to drinking water. Add the fact that there are huge economic pressures on these young children due to their environment and the circumstances. Life is not easy and it understandable that less than 50% of children actually return to school. This continues the vicious cycle of poverty, where communities stay impoverished and are unable to help themselves. This feeds the statistic that 50% of Pakistan's population cant read or write. This has to change, and it starts with providing a valuable education for vulnerable children. We want them to be children again, develop bright ideas and become champions of their own communities when they grow up. We want to help them left themselves out of poverty. This Ramadan help us provide vulnerable children with an education.
