Muslim Charity’s ‘Adopt A School’ project helps to renovate and construct schools by filling the missing facilities such as classrooms, washrooms, safe drinking water, boundary walls, furniture, playgrounds and more. In the past three years, Muslim Charity has renovated 40 schools in Pakistan, which are now benefitting almost 11,000 children like Sonya.
Millions of girls are not in education in Pakistan due to extreme poverty and the lack of schools near their homes or even within a two-hour trek from their homes. Two-thirds of Pakistan’s out of school children are girls, amounting to over 3 million girls out of school. Pakistan is in the top 10 countries around the world where more than half of the poorest girls do not enter school; nine out of ten of the poorest young women have not completed formal schooling.
