ZCSS: Furthering Education

Updated 30 October 2013

In third world countries, there is the misconception that secondary and higher education is not as important as literacy and primary education.  Therefore children who are fortunate to attend primary school and to learn to read and write, often do not have the opportunity to study further. 

Often students have the desire to study further but need a push to get over the financial hump of post-secondary education.  This was the case for two Polytechnic students in India.  Syed Abbas and Mohd Amir needed financial assistance to complete a 3 year diploma course.

Through the support of Zainabiyya Child Sponsorship Scheme (ZCSS) these young men were able to complete and pass the Diploma course and have taken admission into the 2nd year Bachelor in Engineering course.  InshAllah they will be able to successfully graduate from the program and build a solid future for themselves and their family. 



Be it supporting a child in primary or secondary school education, ZCSS gives the gift of knowledge to thousands of students around the world.

Sponsoring a child through ZCSS undoubtedly begins a domino effect that carries over ten fold.  When you help educate a child, you are helping educate a nation.  Let’s give education to everyone, because everyone deserves a chance to learn.

We have often heard, give up a cup of coffee to help a child, but do we do it?  Perhaps we think that such a small contribution won’t make a difference, or maybe we tell ourselves we will get to it but don’t or we tell ourselves someone else will do it so we don’t have to.

But what if you did?

It is a common known fact that education plays a major role in the success of an individual.  However in many countries the gap between male and female literacy levels exists because women have been discouraged from receiving the same educational benefits as men.  Women also have less of an opportunity to pursue an education due to financial constraints, and often the males of the family are educated and the females are not.



Many people care about education, however there are few who truly care about educating others.
