Educate a Girl Zakaat

The fourth wave of COVID-19 has hit Pakistan - the Delta Variant - and is expected to be worse than the previous three combined.  Schools have been shut again with no announced date to reopen.

Since no one actually knows what the impact will be, certainly the young girls are feeling lost and disheartened with the current situation.

COVID-19 numbers go up and down and now Pakistan is facing the third wave, this tougher variant from the UK and times are scary, particularly for youth, and particularly for young girls who often are not told the truth about what is happening, even when they may be losing loved ones, particularly elders.

This has resulted in schools finallly opening and thereafter closing again.  This is very disorientating as well as depressing for some girls, although all realize it's for safety.

COVID-19 numbers are rising and the life of students is more confusing than ever. In Western countries, education is becoming more and more virtual. In Pakistan, there simply isn't existing infrastructure to enable that, especially not for the more deserving, struggling families and their daughters.

With universities and schools set to reopen in September, we are fundraising to help education be back on track. We also have been holding virtual supplementary conferences with powerful, inspiring speakers on You Are Not Defined by The Colour of Your Skin."

In Pakistan, it is the young girls who bear the brunt of colorism and it really damages their self-esteem, cripples their motivation and ambition. This was the first such conference in Pakistan's history and was opened by Mrs. Samina Alvi, wife of the President Of Pakistan.

More than 3 million deserving girls, stuck at home during Covid, had access to and some even spoke at this training.

With universities and schools closed due to COVID-19, its the girls of the world, paritcularly those in Pakistan, who are suffering the most education-wise. Especially deserving girls don't have laptops to do home study, and the majority of their schools do not have remote study programmes.

Although final exams are on hold, many girls are eager to learn and are reaching out to us through our Educate a Girl and other programmes.  We are working on a viritual training series in Urdu to help these girls learn and develop during this unplanned "time off" so to speak. When school resumes this year, our Educate a Girl zakaat recipients will have overcome more than imagine. During the lockdown, many girls may stop their education path forever as they will be diverted toward helping their home, marrying earlier than otherwise, or other options.  Those girls who end up continuing their studies, will do so against so many odds. More than we can imagine.
