Pakistan is home to over 245 million people, and many of them live in poverty. Political corruption has created an unstable government that has led to a system with inadequate funding of resources and is increasing the poverty rate all around. This has led to significant challenges in delivering quality education services to the entire population.
These children are deemed invisible, so if something happens to them, it goes unnoticed. These children disappear between the cracks.
The information about Pakistan is daunting. Students need your help to break the poverty cycle, to avoid being trafficked or forced to become a child bride. They need a fighting chance and education is the key.
In Pakistan, Empower Education is providing educational opportunities for over 1,300 students. We are constructing our second school building, which will accommodate more than 700 students. Classes will begin in 2024 with the admission of 250 children, grades K-4/5.
Together, we can help Pakistani children reach their dreams of becoming doctors, lawyers, teachers, or maybe even prime minister. Children should be thinking of a brighter future, not where their next meal will come from, or how to escape being trafficked. This is an epidemic that can be stopped before it begins. Prevention is better than rescue.
Pakastani children have the right to be educated, but most lack the opportunity. Your sponsorship can provide that opportunity. Become an education advocate today.
Pakistan faces significant challenges, including Islamic extremism, poverty, and corruption. Uneducated children become vulnerable to joining groups that seem to offer hope, even if it fuels their minds with hurtful intentions. Economic instability has driven millions below the poverty line, while corruption and discrimination severely impact minority groups' access to education and employment opportunities. Moreover, issues like modern slavery, rural education deficits, and violence against women further exacerbate the country's struggles.
