The journey from ignorance to education
The girls from, Nassrullah Sand, Tharparkar, Pakistan, had to sit on the sand for their right of education. It could hardly be called a school without any boundary walls, roof, toilets, running water, furniture, uniform, school bags and stationery. Poverty stricken and drought affected, the households were struggling for food let alone a fully constructed school. The 58 girls at school age were out of school because the parents were afraid of snake bits, amongst many other reasons.
The journey from poverty to education
Through the generous support of our UK donors, and in this case Asian Sound Radio (Manchester) in particular, the transformation of studying on the sand under the blazing sun to classrooms with furniture, running water, books and uniforms took place. Thousands of girls across Pakistan are now enjoying their right to education and are thankful for your valuable support.
Alhamdulillah, Muslim Charity could only achieve these results with the support of our friends and donors.
The journey from poverty to empowerment
Unfortunately, poverty has a female face due to a lack of income generation activities. 70% of the world’s poor are women. Although in rural areas most of the work in field is performed by women but due to injustice and a lack of education they do not enjoy prosperity. Most of these vulnerable women have no access to basic health facilities or other services.
The journey from poverty to empowerment
Muslim Charity does not only provide vocational training but also literacy classes to the vulnerable in rural communities. Providing skills and literacy coupled with equipment to use the learnt skills can always bring an income to a home.
