Many rural Pakistani women have never had the opportunity to get an education and now desire to learn to read and write to help their children with homework. Barriers to literacy include limited income for tuition and travel expenses, and cultural norms that prioritize spending on education for girls and women. Also, the culture works against the idea of spending money on educating girls and women. Adult women are illiterate because girls are not respected, and spend money on their education.
This project aims to provide education to women and girls who have not had the opportunity to attend school. The illiteracy rate among women in Pakistan is approximately 48%. Educated women can play a crucial role in the education of their children, but many mothers were not given the chance to receive an education themselves, resulting in a lack of educational opportunities for their children.
This project will provide approximately 40 women and teenage girls with an education per year. The illiteracy rate among women in Pakistan is around 48%. A woman can have a better role in the education of her children, but because the mother did not get a chance to go to school, we hope to break the cycle of lack of education in families. Tuition fees will be charged, but scholarships will be given to those in extreme poverty to reduce barriers to education.
We will increase the literacy rate among women and teenage girls in Pakistan. The women beneficiaries will be able to read, write, and help their children with their education. The women will also be able to contribute economically to their families. We have a proven system. We know how to teach children to read and write. We see this first village and first project as the groundwork for a second village. We plan to change Pakistan one village at a time. Thank you for considering this project.
