HOPE’s NETWORK OF FORMAL AND HOME SCHOOLS

 

The significance of education cannot be understated, as it serves as the foundation for a bright and prosperous future. At HOPE – An NGO in Pakistan, we strongly believe that every child, including those from less privileged backgrounds, deserves access to quality education, as it is the most effective means for them to unlock their true potential. Our aim is to grant children the chance to learn and grow, enabling them to become valuable members of society and make meaningful contributions.

HOPE - An Educational NGO in Pakistan, operates a network of Formal and Home schools. The organization has three formal schools situated in Karachi (Korangi), Thatta, and Muzaffargarh. These schools offer classes from preschool all the way to matriculation. Highly qualified teachers and staff are dedicated to educating the students. Over 1,700 students are enrolled in HOPE's formal schools. These institutions boast facilities comparable to those found in private schools, including computer labs, science labs, and options for recreational and extracurricular activities.








HOPE operates a network of home schools across the nation. These schools are held in the residences of community girls. Local children can easily attend the school since it is conveniently located. Many girls stop their education after primary school because their parents are reluctant to send them to schools that are far away. The home schools are run by girls who are in their matriculation or intermediate studies, and they also share their knowledge with other girls in the community. They are encouraged to take private high school examinations. There are no fees charged to the students, textbooks are provided at no cost, and essential furniture items such as blackboards, chairs, tables, and dari are also supplied by HOPE.

In line with HOPE's legacy, Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla – A Child Specialist in Karachi, continually works to offer high-quality health care and Basic education with the passage of time.

On 19th June 2025   HOPE – An NGO in Pakistan conducted a Neonatal Resuscitation Program at its General Hospital and Community Center, located at Zia Colony, Korangi, Karachi. The Program was conducted between 10:30 am to 1:30 pm.  This training consisted of RMOs, Gynecology doctors, and paramedic staff attending births or caring for newborns. The paramedic staff arrived from the MCH Centers and General Hospitals of HOPE.

The Training was conducted by Dr. Syed Khurram Sajid, Consultant Pediatrician.
The Purpose of this training was to equip the healthcare professionals with knowledge and skills for effective neonatal resuscitation, improving newborn care and patient outcomes.

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) course conveys an evidence-based approach to care of the newborn at birth and facilitates effective team-based care for healthcare professionals who care for newborns at the time of delivery. NRP utilizes a blended learning approach, which includes online testing and hands-on case-based simulation/debriefing that focus on critical leadership, communication, and team-work skills.

Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla – A Child Specialist in Karachi, encourages such training programs which increases the information of its employees, which eventually benefits the patents who come to HOPE.  HOPE looks forward to collaborating with such organizations who think about humanity and work for a social cause.  This is the reason why HOPE – A Health NGO in Pakistan exists and will do it best in serving humanity. 

HOPE'S QURBANI ACTIVITY 2025

 

This year on the festive occasion of Eid-ul-Adha, HOPE – A Health NGO in Pakistan sacrificed cows and goats and brought smiles on the faces of needy communities by distributing Qurbani meat of the sacrificed animals among them. In spite of the difficult circumstances they are experiencing, HOPE gives them a chance to celebrate Eid-ul-Adha, like every other Muslim who can afford to sacrifice animals.

Not everyone has the means to buy mutton or beef; many people in urban slums and rural areas of Pakistan face financial difficulties that prevent them from affording even the smallest amount of meat for their families. The situation is especially dire for orphans, widows, and low-income households, as they are further weakened by a lack of financial resources. Consequently, distributing meat on the festival day of Eid-ul-Adha helps to alleviate the hardships faced by these underprivileged families.

Under the guidance of Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla – A Child specialist in Karachi, HOPE works diligently to gather contributions from its donors to perform the sacred act of animal sacrifice and distribute the meat at various sites, including its formal and informal schools, vocational training centers, health clinics, and hospitals.HOPE has been operational in various slums of Karachi, Gadap, Ghaggar, Rerhi Goth, Hub, Thatta, Sujawal, Badin, Muzaffargarh, and Muzaffarabad. The sacrificial meat was distributed among 600 families among the areas mentioned above; feeding approximately 4000 individuals.

HOPE – An NGO in Pakistan, always remembers the less fortunate during every event and occasion, providing meat to the needy communities in society. Sharing Qurbani with others fosters feelings of joy and affection, allowing these families to celebrate Eid-ul-Adha as a meaningful time of festivity. These families anticipate HOPE's charitable meat distribution all year long, which is what turns their Eid day into a moment of celebration.
