Education
Funding tuition, learning materials and qualified local teaching, so children can begin and continue their schooling.
Education & nutrition · Pakistan
Every child deserves the dawn of an education.
We help children in Pakistan living in poverty get into school and stay there — through tuition, a safe place to learn, and a nourishing meal so they can attend rather than work.
Registration with the Charity Commission for England & Wales is in progress
What we do
Three things that keep a child in school.
Poverty pulls children out of the classroom and into work. We address the pressures that matter most, through a local partner who knows each family.
A place to learn
Leasing and refurbishing premises through our Pakistan partner — a safe, reliable space children can return to each day.
Nutrition
A nourishing meal during the school day — often the difference that lets learning win over paid work.
The need
Why this work matters.
28%
of school-age children across Pakistan are out of school — one of the highest rates in the world.
39%
of children in Sindh, where we're starting, are out of school — the need is sharpest where we begin.
100%
of overseas grants tied to a written budget and reported back to trustees.
ℹ️
Pre-launch: we have not yet supported any children — we are awaiting charity registration. Out-of-school figures are from the Pakistan Household Integrated Economic Survey (HIES) 2024–25, Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, January 2026. Our own impact numbers will appear here once our first cohort begins.
A future story from the children we support will live here.
Photo to be added
Our first cohort
Real stories, when there are real stories to tell.
We won't invent case studies or use stock photos of children to pull at heartstrings. When our first children begin school, and with their families' informed consent, we'll share their progress honestly here — names changed and images used only where it's safe and permitted.
How we'll measure impactHow your gift works
From a UK donation to a child at a desk.
We are a UK grant-maker. We pursue our own charitable objects by funding a sister organisation in Pakistan that delivers on the ground — at our trustees' discretion, under a written agreement, with reporting at every stage. The trustees decide what to fund, can attach conditions, and can vary or discontinue funding.
1
You give in the UK
Donations received and Gift Aid reclaimed where eligible, adding government support to every qualifying gift.
2
We make a grant
Trustees approve funding to our Pakistan partner against a written budget — never a blank cheque.
3
The partner delivers
They lease and refurbish a space, pay a local teacher and provide meals — paid in stages as work is evidenced.
4
We report back
Spending checked against invoices and photographs; we publish how many children were supported.
Accountability
Built for scrutiny, not around it.
Sending money overseas to support children carries real responsibility. We've written our safeguards into the charity's own rules, not just its intentions.
Money moves in stages
Larger overseas transfers need a full trustee meeting; refurbishment is paid against invoices and photos, never as a lump sum upfront.
An independent voice
Our board includes an independent trustee alongside founding family members, in line with our constitution — and we keep that balance under review.
We report on children, not just cash
Our annual report will state how many children were supported and confirm funds were used as agreed.
Join the board
Help us strengthen the board
We already have an independent trustee on the board, and as we grow we'd welcome more — ideally with experience in safeguarding, finance, charity governance, or work in Pakistan.

Volunteer your skills
Fundraising, translation (Urdu), social media, photography in Pakistan, or admin — small contributions of time make a real difference at this stage.
