Urgent Update (September 8, 2022): Our center has now been flooded with water reaching six feet high. It was serving as an emergency shelter to people who’ve lost their homes. This community is in desperate need of assistance—they lost everything—let’s give them sustenance, shelter, and hope. We are accepting urgent donations through our GoFundMe fundraiser here.

About this initiative

A 2,000 square foot building located in Sehwan Sharif, steps away from the cross-provincial Indus Highway. But our purpose goes much further than a building—we need to nurture a community to the point where it can run itself on an upward socioeconomic trajectory.

A community where every person can play a role in getting the village out of abject poverty. Our starting point is to give women and children a place to go to where they can acquire fundamental literacy, unlocking the doors to broader understanding of the world which leads to new opportunities.

We broke ground in December 2021 with the help of our local partner, All Syed Volunteer Organization (ASVO), which continues to be fundamental to manage fiscally responsible resourcing and community outreach.

Current Status

As of September 2022, the building is constructed, we’ve put up walls, a roof, and are currently taking care of electricity wiring. Now we need funds to stock the interior: office furniture, computers, books, teaching supplies, kitchen equipment, and most of all, instructional staff.
