HOPE’s Zia Colony School visited by delegates of Japanese Consuate, Karachi.

It was in late 2012 that the Japanese Consulate in Karachi generously offered to assist in the expansion of HOPE’s Zia Colony School. The expansion actually was an addition  of another  much needed floor to fully accommodate the increasing number of students coming from the surrounding poor, slum areas.

HOPE, an educational NGO in Pakistan, worked at a very fast pace and completed the project in mid 2013 – which greatly increased the capacity of the school.

The two delegates from the Japanese Consulate visited  HOPE’s Zia Colony School to observe the status and progress of the school. The delegates were very pleased with the welcome they were given by the young students of the school.

The Japanese Consul’s delegates were taken to all the classes of the school and the library, computer labs, chemistry lab and the vocational center. They  were extremely happy to see HOPE’s  school  had progressed  so well within just a short span of one year and some months of its completion.

Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, Chairperson of HOPE and child specialist in Karachi has been the driving force in setting up this and other formal and home schools across Pakistan -  and in ensuring they are successfully and efficiently run  - which is why these schools have been so popular in the areas where they have been established and enrollment of students have been increasing constantly.  

Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, Chairperson of HOPE and child specialist in Karachi  has always maintained that the education provided to the children of HOPE’s home schools  should be of excellent quality and all reading materials, such as books etc  are all free of cost.
