Transforming Pakistani Schools: Uplift Development Program
Do you know about 67 lac Pakistani kids don’t go to school due to the unavailability of a proper school system? The Uplift Development Program is steering a transformative initiative. Under this project, we are breathing life into schools, communities, and the futures of countless Pakistani children.
Uplift’s First School Renovation Project
In the center of a small village in Pakistan, amidst the freezing cold, there stands an old and a small school. Its walls cracking, with the paint chipping away and the floors worn out by the feet of children. Its roof leaking in rains, no boards present and no doors to block the cold. Not enough chairs or even clean water supply present there. These are the most vulnerable children of the village- orphans and children fighting poverty. They are just trying to get an education.
Abstract
The Uplift Development Program initiative aims to renovate schools and make education accessible and impactful for the underprivileged communities.
This project supports Pakistan’s efforts to renovate schools up to the safety standards and quality education. The objectives of this project are to:
1) Restore school buildings in danger of collapse.
2) Reduce the educational disadvantages to students occupying such schools.
3) Help increase the number of students and quality teachers in these schools.
4) Welfare of the underdeveloped areas they serve
