Around the world, almost 61 million children are deprived access to basic education. In 2008, an estimate stated that 60% of these children are girls. And within developing nations, the completion rate of primary school between the two genders is greater than 10%. Almost 100 million girls worldwide who start primary school don’t finish and the numbers rise for secondary education where it is not possible for more than 200 million children. The gender gap between boys and girls rises even more within the enrollment and completion of secondary school.
Updated 20 November 2013 In the town of Chakwal of Punjab Pakistan, where education is difficult to obtain there are 4 students who were given the opportunity to attend school. Through the support of Zainabiyya Child Sponsorship Scheme (ZCSS) they were able to focus solely on their education and successfully completed 10th class and achieved A+ grades.
The boys have further requested scholarships to continue to study, which have been approved. The commitment and dedication of these students sets an example of how anything is possible if given the chance. Had these boys not received the financial assistance they required, their stories would be very different today ~ and their futures as well.
Education is the key to unlock the doors of the future ~ by supporting a child’s education you are giving them a key to a better life. These boys are just four of thousands of boys who need your support. In cities, towns and villages there are young boys and girls who need helping hand to make a better life for themselves and their families. You can make a difference and help change the life of someone who deserves it.
ZCSS (Zainabiya Child Sponsorship Scheme) is an initiative of The World Federation started by Marhum Mulla Asghar and has been running for over 30 years. The World Federation of KSMIC’s education objective is to empower communities with the ability to become self-sufficient. The most efficient method of reducing illiteracy is through education. This sponsorship scheme supports young students in less advantaged Shia populated areas of the world in order for them to complete their education, ranging from Primary through to higher education.
This will create a generation of skilled individuals who will work together to lift their communities out of poverty. Unlocking the potential of just one educated person has a great multiplier effect; these benefits far outweigh the monetary cost of that education.
ZCSS works in Kenya, Tanzania, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Haiti. The scheme started with a humble few students and over the years has supported over 25,000 students, many of whom who have succeeded in changing their lives, the lives of their families and their communities.
