Pakistan is still confronted with availability of proper educational facilities; especially for the primary education, while enlistment and consistency standards are improving, but still needs to accelerate the pace of enrollment.
As of now, Pakistan has the world's second-largest number of out-of-school children (OOSC) with an expected 22.8 million youngsters not enrolling to formal schools.
Approximately 5 million children between the ages of 5 to 9 are not enrolled in the schools while 11.4 million children between the ages of 10 to 14 are either not enrolled or irregular.
The reason for non-enrollment is primarily non availability of proper facilities, teachers and/or lack of interest by the parents.
NUR-FMS has an ongoing awareness campaign in our adopted communities to ensure high number of enrollment; capacity building of teachers from within the communities.
After the COVID19 Pandemic, NUR Foundation and Fatima Memorial Hospital is tirelessly working on the construction activities and are eyeing to complete the project which is taking more time than usual due to lack of funds. The Organization is also witnessing a major rise in the construction cost on daily basis due to an ongoing recession and devaluation of the local currency thus making it more difficult to complete the project in time.
With the challenges mentioned above, NUR Foundation continues to run its schools since 1996 in Malikpur Village, Lahore where the enrollment has reached its maximum and we immediately need additional facilities to cover the need of the community.
With your generous donations, we were able to cordon off the land purchased by the organization to secure the students; however construction activities are slow which can only be increased with your support.
We anticipate the following requirements of funds for various activities:
Furniture: USD 10,000
Computer Lab: USD 3,500
Science Lab: USD 2,250
Library: USD 3,250
Play Area: USD 1,300
Cafeteria: USD 645
Mosque: USD 1,300
Conference Room: USD 970
Principal Office: USD 1,300
Boundary Wall: USD 1,710
Our benefactors are our greatest help and without you, we can't accomplish what this noble cause requires. Kindly help our objective and assist us with building this school so we together can change lives.
Thank you!
