Story
The majestic Karakoram mountains and the picturesque Ishkoman Valley, which separates the Karakoram Range from the Hindu Kush boast some of the most spectacular mountains on earth but despite their stunning beauty, both regions present harsh living conditions, with much of the population subsisting in remote villages, hours away from the nearest towns. Askole and Hushe in Baltistan and Asumbar in Ishkoman are among such villages, where the village schools strive to provide a great education to the local children. We are thrilled to share some remarkable achievements from our projects in remote villages of Pakistan.
Here is a glimpse of the positive impact we have made together:
- Askole School Wins School of the Year Award
Congratulations to Ali, the headmaster of Askole School, for receiving this prestigious recognition. Your support has played a crucial role in their success. - Continued Support for Teachers
Thanks to your contributions, we can pay the salaries of two part-time female teachers at both Askole and Asumber Schools, a teacher, and a caretaker at Shadri School, as well as a full-time female teacher at Thingee School, all of whom are dedicated to providing quality education to the students. - Providing Askole School with Classroom Insulation and New Televisions
Your donations have enabled us to enhance the learning environment by insulating the classrooms, especially during temperatures that can fall to -30 degrees Celsius. Additionally, we have provided two flat-screen TVs, opening up new possibilities for education. - Supporting Teacher Training in Hushe Village
Your generosity facilitated teacher training, transforming the lives of numerous children in the Hushe Valley.
