Through this program, we provide full and partial scholarships to students from economically disadvantaged households across Lower Chitral, Upper Chitral, and remote, hard-to-reach valleys. Our support covers monthly school fees, textbooks, transportation, meals, and in some cases safe housing — enabling students to focus entirely on their studies without the burden of financial stress.
At present, the program is supporting more than 10 students, but its impact extends far beyond the numbers. Many of our beneficiaries come from communities that are geographically isolated and underserved by mainstream educational systems. One of the most significant examples is our outreach in Shah Saleem, located in the Garamchashma Valley near the border, where children travel long distances just to reach basic schooling facilities.
Through our efforts, these students are brought to the main town where they are provided with secure shelter, nutritious food, educational supplies, and school enrollment support. Our Scholarship Program is built on the belief that no child's future should be determined by their zip code — education is the foundation of empowerment, mobility, and community transformation.
Surely access to basic support should be a human right in the 21st century. If you can only give £10 just this one time, it will still make a difference.
