PRESCHOOL PROJECTS

  • The father earns a daily wage driving an auto rickshaw, depending on how many customers he gets. The mother usually works as a housemaid, earning around 5,000–6,000 Rs per house, but she’s currently pregnant and not working. With a new baby on the way and rising inflation, the family is facing increasing financial pressure.

    Despite the challenges, the children remain eager to learn:

    • Zeenat is in Class 2. She loves going to school and enjoys Art.

    • Zimel, also in Class 2, is 10 years old and passionate about Math. She dreams of becoming a teacher.

    • Khadija is in KG 2. She’s especially interested in Science and hopes to become a doctor one day.

  • After their father passed away, Hooriah and Jawairiah moved with their mother from Badin to Karachi. Although they were promised an inheritance, the daughters were told they wouldn’t receive their share until they turn 18 — leaving their mother with nothing. The family now lives in a rented home, paying 17,000 Rs per month. Their mother works as a tailor, but a recent illness (chikungunya) has made it difficult for her to sit and work for long periods.

    Despite these hardships, both daughters remain determined to succeed:

    • Hooriah is in Class 11 and teaches the Quran to local children to help support the family. She’s studying Pre-Medical and hopes to pursue a career in Psychology.

    • Jawairiah is in Class 8 and dreams of becoming a Chartered Accountant.

  • The family's expenses have risen sharply due to inflation. With three children and a sister not in school, they also support their grandparents, adding to the burden. Their rent is 12,000 Rs, and the father, the sole earner, makes 50,000 Rs per month. Groceries alone cost 20,000 Rs, leaving little room for education. They’re often forced to choose between basic needs and schooling.

    • Uzair is in Class 9. He enjoys Computer and Math and hopes to become a mechanical engineer.

    • Nawaf is 12 years old, in Class 6, and also dreams of becoming an engineer. He loves Math.

    • Salar is 8 years old and in Class 2. He wants to become a policeman and enjoys playing with his friends at school.

  • Maheen lives with her parents and four older siblings — two brothers and two married sisters. Her eldest brother has a BCom degree but earns an unstable income of around PKR 30,000 per month. With rent and electricity bills totaling PKR 30,000, the family struggles to cover basic needs. Her brother’s three-year-old son hasn’t been enrolled in school due to financial constraints.

    Maheen is in Class 9. She loves Math and Computer studies and hopes to build a career in the tech field. Her dream is to become financially independent and support her family.

UNIVERSITY PROJECTS

  • After his father’s accident, he managed to cover tuition expenses by selling livestock and taking loans. Despite the hardship, he remains determined to improve the education standards back home, hoping his struggles today can pave the way for future generations.

  • Surviving on just one meal a day, he continues to endure severe poverty while pursuing his education. Through sheer resilience, he aspires to complete the USMLE or PLAB and secure a future where financial struggle no longer limits his potential.

  • Having faced the loss of her father, her mother’s cardiac arrest, and her brother’s job loss, she lives in a hostel without proper bedding. Yet, she dreams of becoming an Army Doctor, using her experiences to serve with strength and compassion.

  • Working part-time and living 14 hours from campus to save money, he only commutes when absolutely necessary. Through these sacrifices, he hopes to lift his family out of poverty and create a better life for those who have supported him.

  • After losing a scholarship due to Covid-19 and living in a vulnerable household, he carries the weight of financial responsibility. Despite these challenges, he is determined to gain international experience and broaden his horizons to support his family and future.

  • The youngest among eight siblings, she excels academically while battling financial constraints that threaten her education. Still, she sets her sights high—pursuing a career in cardiac surgery in Pakistan to make a meaningful impact in both medicine and society.

Whoever takes a path upon which to obtain knowledge, Allah makes the path to Paradise easy for him.
