Story / Update

Access to quality education remains a major challenge in remote regions like Upper Chitral, where many children face barriers such as limited school facilities, long travel distances, and economic hardship. As a result, thousands of children are deprived of learning opportunities and a brighter future.

To help bridge this gap, Alkhidmat Foundation inaugurated the Alkhidmat Foundation School Booni Campus in Upper Chitral. The inauguration ceremony was attended by community members, educators, and local leaders who welcomed this important educational initiative.

The new campus will provide modern and structured education facilities for 750 students from ECD to Matric level, creating opportunities for children to receive quality education close to their homes.

Title: Tent School Supporting Out-of-School Children in Flood-Affected Dain Village, Ghizer – Gilgit Baltistan 

Summary

Alkhidmat Foundation has established a Tent School in flood-affected Dain Village, Ghizer (Gilgit Baltistan) to ensure continued education for children whose schooling was disrupted by disasters. This initiative directly supports over 50 children, contributing to Alkhidmat’s broader mission to address Pakistan’s 22.2 million out-of-school children crisis.

Along with the Tent School, school supply kits were distributed to help students resume learning with dignity, hope, and motivation.

Story / Update

Pakistan faces one of the world’s largest education emergencies, with 22.2 million children currently out of school. Natural disasters such as floods further worsen this crisis by destroying schools and forcing children—especially in remote areas—out of classrooms.

In Dain Village, Ghizer, recent floods severely damaged educational infrastructure, leaving dozens of children without access to schooling. Recognizing the urgency, Alkhidmat Foundation intervened by establishing a Tent School, providing a safe, temporary learning environment until permanent facilities can be restored.

To support effective learning, school supply kits—including notebooks, stationery, and basic learning materials—were distributed among students. These resources have helped restore routine, confidence, and a sense of normalcy for children affected by displacement and loss.

Community members shared that this initiative has prevented children from dropping out permanently and has renewed parents’ hope for their children’s future.

Beneficiaries

Direct Impact:
• 50+ flood-affected children enrolled in the Tent School

Indirect Impact:
• Families and community members benefiting from continued access to education

Impact

• Contributed to reducing the number of out-of-school children
• Ensured continuity of education during post-flood recovery
• Prevented long-term learning loss in a remote community
• Supported child protection and psychosocial well-being
• Strengthened Alkhidmat’s nationwide education response
