Education is the key to success in life. In the poorer sections of society, access to education is difficult. This has become even more difficult in these economically difficult times. People either cannot afford to send children to school or don’t want children to study, but rather want children to work. The children become an additional earning member. Education is not a priority. They do not have the vision that imparting education will provide a brighter future to their children.
HOPE- An NGO in Pakistan,
aims provide education to children in poorer communities who have no access to
schools. In this context HOPE under the leadership of Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla- A Child Specialist in Karachi has established several schools in the
urban and rural areas of Pakistan. In these schools children from poor
communities are provided education free of cost. Many are children of
labourers, drivers, transporters, factory workers who all earn a daily earning.
Recently results of HOPE High
schools in Karachi and Thatta were declared. It was heartening to see that most
of the students passed with A plus and A grades while some got B. Coming from
humble backgrounds it is a great achievement to get these grades. It has opened
several doors for them to apply for further studies. HOPE - An Educational
NGO in Pakistan will support
them in their college education so that they can peruse a career. A driver’s or
labourer' son can become an office assistant or a computer operator. Only in
this way a change can be brought in the society.
It has been always been the
primary priority of HOPE, to provide the best possible education to the poor,
who simply cannot afford it due to high costs.
This is why HOPE is not just creating means of providing quality
education, but its main motive is to make this quality education accessible to
the poor, who have no financial support to provide good schooling to their
children.
