Muslim Charity is working in Pakistan towards the improvement of infrastructure of Government Girls Primary Schools through Parents’ Teachers Associations and community-based organisations. The number of children in Pakistan not attending school amounts to nearly 25 million. The average number of years of schooling completed is 4.9 years in Pakistan which is slightly ahead of Angola and Bangladesh. There are only 13 countries in the world with a lower adult literacy rate than Pakistan, according to data compiled by the United Nations. These countries include Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, Ethiopia, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone and Mali, collectively some of the poorest countries in the world.
During the year 2013-2014 Muslim Charity intends to extend its primary school education programme in Somalia and Bangladesh. In Somalia, school enrolment rates are at the lowest in the world with only four out of every 10 children in school, largely due to two decades of conflict. Of course girls are the worst affected with only a third enrolled in school and many dropping out before the completion of their primary school career.
Please donate generously towards Muslim Charity’s Girls Education Programme to make child-friendly school environments by improving the infrastructure of schools in Pakistan.
