We support families distressed by the ongoing economic crisis who are unable to afford private schooling. I have taken an initiative to develop a small school in a kachhi abaadi for under-privileged students to offer them low cost to free education. I believe it is our responsibility as a society, as a nation, and more than anything, as humans to recognize and rectify the problems which have plagued the lives of many people in this country especially by denying them a right to learn. Sad enough, this error stems out of not lack of interest in learning, but rather due to lack of financial resources to purchase the lessons being sold these days! Belonging to a middle-class family, I have only been able to run this school for three years with the resources I could gather. The school named ‘The Mentors Academy’ is greatly in need of more funds to sustain the current education standards which even now are at the bare minimum. With a current strength of 25 students and 6 staff members excluding myself, the quality of education offered here is unfortunately not up to par. To make it locally recognized and vastly effective, more funds need to be invested in this project to offer at least the very basic necessities required to fulfil the promises of a healthy learning environment such as sanitation, furniture, staff, rent and course material. Therefore I urge you to donate as much as you can to prevent these innocent children from moving back to a life of ignorance. This address of the school is as follows: 2-G, 7/7, Safia Manzil, Nazimabad no. 2, Karachi, Pakistan. Interested visitors are more than welcome to come and visit the venue and get better acquainted with the school environment. Feel free to contact me at 0313-1242696 for any details. The account number stated below is in the name of the school and will ensure that your zakat/charity goes in the right hands! Details of the school account are listed below for interested donors:

Please share this post with as many people as you can. More than a favour to just these children, it will be a favour to all of humanity. May God bless you for your generosity!
