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.

Rajab Tsuma, now 23 years old joined class one at Jaffery Primary School sixteen years ago. As his family was not able to send Rajab to school, he was sponsored by ZCSS in 1997. In 2005 Rajab completed class 8 with a score of 314 in the KCPE examination.
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.
