Education Support

School fees, uniforms, books and transport for children at risk of being pulled out of school.

Education Support

How it works

A child leaves school in Pakistan for reasons that are almost always financial and almost always small. An unpaid term fee. A uniform that no longer fits. A bus fare the family cannot spare. The amounts are modest; the consequence is permanent.

We cover the specific cost that is about to end a child's education. That means paying the school directly for fees, buying the uniform and shoes, providing books and stationery for the year, and covering transport where distance is the obstacle.

We work with the school rather than around it, so attendance is verifiable and support continues only while the child is actually enrolled and attending. Where a child has already dropped out, we negotiate re-admission and clear arrears.

Girls are prioritised where a household is choosing which children to keep in school, because they are the first to be withdrawn and the least likely to return.

What that means

  • Fees paid directly to the school, never in cash to the family
  • Uniform, shoes, books and stationery supplied for the full year
  • Attendance verified with the school each term
  • Re-admission and arrears cleared for children already withdrawn
