Empowering Brick Kiln Children through Education
Joy Foundation has initiated a groundbreaking 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.
Joy Foundation's Intervention
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.
Request for Ongoing Support
These children require additional resources for quality education. Your timely support will enable us to:
- Provide essential educational materials
- Expand our reach to more brick kiln communities
- Offer education at their doorstep, despite challenging circumstances
We gratefully request your continued support to empower these needy children. Together, we can create a brighter future for Pakistan's brick kiln children.
