Zia School Annual Function 2017

Pakistan is among the most densely populated countries in the world with a sizeable chunk of it been infiltrated by the genesis of illiteracy. Educational sectors are gaining grounds but most of them are confined within the boundaries of metropolitan cities only leaving behind the rural population in stagnation. Education is like an opportunity which breaks all the barriers and allows you to head into the modern world full of opportunities.

However, HOPE - an educational NGO in Pakistan, hopes to dismantle these deep roots of illiteracy which accounts for around half of the problems our country is facing today. The underprivileged masses have unfairly succumbed to poverty which doesn’t allow them to get accustomed to education. Thus, HOPE plans to establish a network of schools which provide free and quality education and helps students build an armor of confidence which allows them to hang onto their dreams and pursue it.  Thus, most of HOPE’s programs are focused primarily on the rural and urban slum areas of Pakistan. Under the leadership of Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla- child specialist in Karachi, HOPE has broaden its reach towards the masses lining in squalor, mainly focusing on girls to address the deplorable educational and social status of women in many cities of Pakistan.
Among other HOPE – an educational NGO in Pakistan, one of its school is located in Zia colony, Karachi, funded by Japanese embassy. The people living in this area come from a poor background and struggle to educate their children, given the expensive fee waivers the private schools unjustly ask for. Some of them are stuck at home and others end up winding at workshops or other places to earn and carry an entire burden of their family expenses. But now following the establishment of our school, almost all of the children resided in the community head to our door in hopes of getting quality education. They are also provided with provisions such as stationary, lunch boxes, books and copies for their feasibility, all of them being utterly free of cost.

The school accommodates approximately 700 students who constantly prove their potential by their outstanding academic performances throughout the year and also secure brilliant results in their board examinations. HOPE arranges annual functions to celebrate their success which encourage them to increase their potentials.



Different programs were held in which students presented skits which revolved around the importance of education. In addition, the students presented to the audience with many dance performances on educational themes and patriotic songs. The Japanese consulates were also invited to witness this brilliant event with happiness surrounding the atmosphere which also might have caused a flashback of this exquisite foundation all of which was laid by their generous funds at the first place.










Along with the skits and dance performances, the Japanese consulate, Youko Watanabay, Dr Jamil, Mr Amjad and Mr & Mrs Mazhar were there to hand out presents to students who excelled in their studies and extra-curricular activities, in the presence of  Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla- child specialist in Karachi.
