MUBASHIR: AN UNDERPRIVILEGED STUDENT AT HOPE ZIA SCHOOL

This is the story of Mubashir Naseer, whose family is living a life below poverty line. Mubashir’s father Naseer Akhter had died during his child hood and his mother is disabled, due to which the family has faced a lot of hardships and are struggling hard in order to make ends meet.

Mubashir is a student of HOPE Zia School in class 9; he has three siblings, from which his elder sister has already completed her matric from HOPE Zia School, while 2 of his brothers are currently students of class 9 in the school.

Keeping in view their financial condition, the tuition fees and other educational supplies related costs have been sponsored by HOPE – An Educational NGO in Pakistan. They have been studying since nursery. HOPE has never charged a single penny from these students in all these years.

Mubashir and his family live in a rented house in Zia Colony. The way they are coping with life is a real challenge. One sister of Mubashir is currently teaching in a school, through which she is able to generate a source of income to support the family. This was possible through the support of HOPE - An Educational NGO in Pakistan.

Mubashir has the ambition of perusing his education further in the field of medical and looks forward to becoming an Eye Specialist. He wishes to sponsor the education of more under privileged students in the future. This is how the circle of life goes on; we help others without any expectations and will receive help from strangers in the most unexpected ways, when we feel the most helpless. HOPE has decided to sponsor the future education of Mubasshir by supporting in his studies through college and beyond through a scholarship programme.

Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla - A Child Specialist in Karachi, monitors the progress of each of her school very closely, and encourages the education of such children who have high ambitions in life, but cannot afford school fees. Such students can be made capable enough of getting a respectable job and earing an income that could improve the conditions of their family.
