In Faisalabad, Pakistan, 100 orphan and vulnerable girls are being given a second chance at life through the GSK Women Empowerment Centre.

This centre was built through a humanitarian partnership led by Professor Abdul Rashid Gatrad and Midland International Aid Trust (MIAT) after a generous plot of land was donated by the Shaukat family.

The centre was constructed at a cost of £250,000 and now stands as a lifeline for girls who would otherwise have little access to education, healthcare or opportunity.

Today the centre provides:

•⁠ ⁠Education in English and Urdu

•⁠ ⁠Digital and IT skills

•⁠ ⁠Sewing and vocational training

•⁠ ⁠Daily meals and nutrition

•⁠ ⁠Healthcare and medical support

•⁠ ⁠Sports, recreation and swimming

•⁠ ⁠Identity registration for future opportunities

•⁠ ⁠A safe environment for learning and growth

For many of these girls, the centre is the first place they have ever felt safe, seen and supported.

For just £270 per year, one orphan girl receives:

•⁠ ⁠Education

•⁠ ⁠Daily meals

•⁠ ⁠Medical care

•⁠ ⁠Clothing and school materials

•⁠ ⁠Skills training

•⁠ ⁠Emotional and spiritual support

Our goal is to raise funds to support the annual running cost of the centre — approximately £37,000 per year.

This ensures these girls continue to receive the education, care and opportunities they deserve.

A small contribution can transform a life.

Together we can help these girls move from orphan to outstanding.
