Sponsor An Orphan Education-Make A Better Future

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought lot of miseries in the lives of millions of people in particular the less privileged segments of the society by bringing a huge wave of unemployment, down type of trends in the business as well as the earnings of daily wage laborer and factory employees. The inflation rate has also been increased which is causing a lot troubles and resulting drop out of girls from the schools.

I am Shama, an eleven-year-old student and student of class six, being an orphan girl living in remote and rural Village Shah Muhammad Ranjho, Mirpurkhas. You all know well that the COVID-19 caused unemployment, less earnings and increased rates of each and every commodity. This situation is adversely affecting the health, education and nutrition of less privileged families. I am also one of them being an orphan, as my elder brother have been free from the leather company. My elder brother dropped me in the school because I don’t have a mother or father anymore. I have one brother and one sister and both are elder than me, elder brother used to work in the leather factory and was paying my educational expenses. And its true as well that my elder brother always wished that I could join school and get education. My elder brother is a very caring person and he thinks about our future as well.

My brother was very under stress and worried about my school expenses and asked me that he is very tense that he may not pay her to continue the education for class sixth as there is no income.

Indeed, I was too much worried and same shared with Ms Uneeb. No doubt, the sharing was very blessing for me as Ms Uneed told me about ARTS Foundation that this NGO is supporting such girls to continue their education through providing admission fee, school bag and needed stationery. When I heard this then I made a request to Ms Uneeb to proceed my case with ARTS Foundation.

Thanks to ARTS Foundation, GlobalGiving and Philanthropists that your generous support and philanthropy is making my education possible even in the times of COVID-19 pandemic as I am in school for class six.

I am Fatima of age 7 years, student of school based in Village Abdul Karim Khaskheli. I am very interested in education because education makes me happy as I get recognition from the family members when I read. Because in my family, no one could get a chance to be an educated men or women. Basically, my family is a very poor family and a peasant by profession, as they are working on others lands, even, we do not have own land for the home. It was my mother’s dream that I must join the school but there was no school till this school opened by the ARTS Foundation in Village Abdul Karim Khaskheli. Before joining the school, I used to bring wood for fire to cook food as well as to fetch water from hand pump which is installed at the distance around 350 meters in the south of our home. I never thought that such day will come in my life and I will be in school as well as can read but I am able to read now.

COVID-19 pandemic has impacted a lot to education as the schools are close since last year’s March 2020. But we are fortunate that our teacher has made 5 groups of students having 6 students in each group and we do assemble for four days to continue the study. These group classes are taking place at our homes for three hours in a day only. We wear masks and use sanitizers with social distancing.  

No doubt, I am very much indebted to you individual philanthropists and the GlobalGiving generous support and umbrella which is making my education possible even in pandemic days at a very remote and rural area village like Abdul Karim Khaskheli. My teacher is a very humble, committed, hard worker with effective in teaching skills.

Last but not the least, I pay thanks from my core of heart to ARTS Foundation for making my access to education at my home.
