Education Kits for 21,000 children in Pakistan

One of the challenges we have faced while providing education in communities where previously there was no viable access to schools, is the fact that due to the range in children’s ages, there tends to be varying degrees of receptivity and understanding. Of course, this is true of any classroom, formal or non-formal, but when there is an additional difference in ages, this variation tends to become a lot more exacerbated.

Technology has greatly helped to overcome this challenge. In areas with little to no literacy, tablets are a great way to ensure high quality, relatable and standardized education across the board, with the help of our community educators. However, due to time constraints, while children get to learn through our pre-loaded tablets, they don’t get as much time as they require to practice what they’re learning. Additionally, as the year passes, it becomes clear that some children are faster learners than others and require resources and materials that challenge them at higher or more advanced levels.

Thanks to you, after the disbursement of Education Kits, children have all found themselves to be challenged at levels they are comfortable with. For instance, the Urdu and English readers provided in the Education Kits range from reading level 1 to 5. The math manipulatives and logic puzzles, too, have increasing levels of difficulty. After the lesson of the day, the children in our learning centres now have access to a range of challenging activities, which help make their learning process all that much more positive with higher learning gains.

Thank you for your generous support in making our children’s learning so well-rounded and holistic. If you would like to learn more about our project, read our previous project updates and donate further to this cause, you can click here.
