Providing Proper Education for the Hamd School
Donation protected
My name is Hiba Khurshid, I am currently a senior in high school. I am seeking funds to help provide educational resources and a science lab, located in one of the poorest areas in Karachi, Pakistan. I am passionate about education and its access to all and availing an opportunity to do good for a school. Children in Pakistan are struggling for the right for education due to lack of social support, government funding, and access to resources. These students have very limited resources to achieve and compete in this fast-moving world.
The school is located in my home country, Pakistan. It is important to recognize that the school does not have resources nearby as it is in a poor locality. From boys to girls ranging from kindergarten to 10th grade, they lack the basic resources to kick start their lives, to excel in their education. Such resources include books, writing utensils, boards, computers, internet, lab equipment, geometry sets and so on.
I plan to set up the science lab with refurbished computers by the original manufacturers in Pakistan. Each computer cost is $300, various lab equipment will cost between $750-1500. I estimate the total expenses to about $3000. To be able to carry out this project by winter, the funds need to be gathered by the latest November 2019. It would be much appreciated by not just me, but the hundreds of students at the Al-Hamd School who need your help with the lack of access to classroom education constrained by lack of facilities provided in classrooms, including no library or books, inadequate laboratory, and limited to no use of computer lab.
If you can donate any amount at all whether its $10 or $50, it would make a huge difference to these students lives. By generating funds, we will enable the quality of education to higher levels as well as bring practical and experiential learning for the students at the school.
