Gul and Khadija sit side by side in an inclusive classroom in Hyderabad. One has a physical disability, the other does not, yet within minutes, that difference fades. What remains is something simple and powerful: two children, learning together on equal terms.
That is what access to school makes possible.
And for many children, it begins with something as simple as a van arriving each morning.
For many of the students we support, school is only possible because of that ride. Without it, they stay home.
Through its Taleem program, NOWPDP supports 550 students in inclusive classrooms, where they access education, rehabilitation, and daily meals. For some, that meal is their most reliable source of nutrition.
But rising fuel costs and Pakistan’s worsening economic conditions are putting this at risk.
With the new school year beginning in July, we urgently need your support to keep this access uninterrupted across our centres.
This fundraiser aims to raise $20,000 by July to keep these classrooms within reach, so no child is left behind simply because they cannot get to school, and more children can find a seat like Gul’s.
