Empowering Brick Kiln Children through Education

In Pakistan, thousands of children are forced to work in hazardous brick kiln conditions, sacrificing their education and childhood. Joy Foundation is committed to changing this narrative.

Our Initiative

We have launched a pioneering project to educate children of brick kiln workers in Pakistan. Our survey revealed over 200 brick kilns in our town, where children toil under harsh conditions to support their families.

The Plight of Brick Kiln Children

In Pakistan, 60% of brick kiln laborers are children, with 11,000 kilns nationwide, mostly in rural areas. Children are forced to work to maximize profit, as household heads are paid per brick produced. These children long to learn, but feel obligated to sacrifice for their families.

Our Impact

With your support, we've established five two-hour schools for brick kiln children in different areas. Each school starts with 20 students (boys and girls), providing basic education and paving the way for formal education. We provide:

- Free educational materials (books and stationery)

- Stipends for dedicated teachers

Our schools are thriving, and children are learning essential skills. However, we require ongoing support to enhance the educational experience.

Request for Ongoing Support

Your timely contribution will enable us to:

- Provide essential educational materials

- Expand our reach to more brick kiln communities

- Offer education at their doorstep, despite challenging circumstances

Join us in empowering these deserving children. Together, we can create a brighter future for Pakistan's brick kiln children.
