The Challenge

Children in Malikpur currently study in open-air classrooms without access to washrooms, science labs, or computer labs. Without proper infrastructure, students cannot receive the education they need to break free from poverty. Education in rural Punjab is especially difficult for girls, with 78% lacking access to schooling.

The Solution

NUR Foundation is constructing a dedicated college building equipped with:

• 7 fully furnished classrooms
• 1 science lab
• 1 computer lab with 20 computers
• 1 multipurpose school hall
• 4 washrooms

These facilities will provide students with an environment conducive to learning, ensuring dignity, safety, and hands-on opportunities that are essential for modern education.

Long-Term Impact

• 500+ students will be educated annually in Malikpur.
• Vocational training will empower students to achieve economic independence.
• A community health center linked to the college will serve over 5,000 people.
• Graduates will contribute to higher literacy and employment rates in Pakistan, raising living standards and fueling economic development.
