Amal-e-Danish school, located in Karachi, is providing affordable education for children from underprivileged backgrounds for a meager fee of ONE RUPEE. This school provides English medium quality education so that the children can fulfill their dreams.
The aim of this organization was to increase literacy in Pakistan by offering basic education to the illiterate masses. The school also runs classes for parents and offers loans to help them obtain qualifications.
Talking to M.M News, its founder, Parveen Rao, said that the cost preserves the children’s dignity and self-esteem, preventing them from seeing themselves as charity cases in a country where even government educational institutions charge substantial fees.
According to the founder, she started off her work by renting a house in Surjani Town to educate individuals with no age limit at fees as low as Rs.30/month but parents were not even able to afford this fee.
Amal-e-Danish immediately carried out research and changed their strategy by establishing a regular school named as “One Rupee School” with one rupee fee only. “After my initiative was promoted, people started giving donations and now we are in a stable organization,” she added.
Giving details regarding the initiative, the owner shared that she has introduced a four-dimensional school system. Regular school with skills, in which students along with getting education also develop skills.
Fast track school: People who hesitate to take admission in school due to age factor facilitate can get primary education in just 3 year. Community Services: We want to develop community skills in students so that they can help other deserving people. Teacher training and Education support programme: All FDSS school local teachers can get scholarship and education loan for further training and education.
