Schools: Educating underserved girls in Pakistan

We are so thrilled to start the new school year! Our schools reopened on August 19^th with a total of 390 students. We welcomed all the students back with some amazing news on their achievements: we received the standardized national test results back from the 9^th grade class and all students passed! These students have all been promoted to Grade 10.

We were also excited to announce to the students that Moqah Foundation is collaborating with Girl Rising on the Explore More program based on Girl Rising’s media and educational materials and its new Explore More Toolkit. Girl Rising will provide the multimedia materials and facilitator’s guide to enhance Moqah Foundation’sprograms supporting youth empowerment and building gender equity. Girl Rising will conduct a one-day workshop for all teachers who will be implementing the toolkit. Moqah Foundation will engage 38 students (22 girls and 16 boys) from Bhara Kahu branch and 40 students (27 girls and 13 boys) from SKP branch to participate in the program through classroom engagement for the duration of the program (12 weeks).

The Explore More activities and sessions are designed to build a community of trust, help young children explore their inner strengths, be aware of their rights, and transcend the gender stereotypes to realize their dreams and aspirations. We are so appreciative that you have enabled us to be able to expand our support of the youth and help them embark on path towards success!

Thank you so much for your continued support!
