Dear friends of the children,
Greetings,
About 258 million children and youth are out of school, according to UIS data for the school year ending in 2018. Currently, Pakistan has the world's second-highest number of out-of-school children (OOSC), with an estimated 22.8 million children aged 5-16 not attending school, representing 44 percent of the total population in this age group. Gaps in service provision at all education levels significantly constrain education access. Their right to Education is being violated, and it is unacceptable.
Global Education Campaign believes that education must be prioritized to accelerate progress toward all the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) against the backdrop of a worldwide recession, growing inequalities, and the climate crisis.
Global Education Campaign (GEC) is working with its sister organization Dosti Welfare Organization in Pakistan, to end illiteracy in Pakistan by 2025. The campaign started in 2019. I feel honored and excited to share that the Global Education Campaign has assisted 217, 513, surpassing its initial target of 40,000 students on their way to Education through One-Room Schools Program in Pakistan.
On average, Dosti is assisting around 11,000 students a month (Last quarter 33, 458 students were assisted)
The Goal - One million students a month
The program's huge success has made us believe that we can enroll around a million students each month to achieve our goal of an illiteracy-free Pakistan. This seems impossible for any government or organization. Still, the solution is crowdfunding and volunteering from supporters and volunteers like you.
Your generous contribution and support for children's Education are already bringing returns in their Education, development, and preparation for leadership and responsibility.
Once again, I am thankful to all supporters for joining us to ensure that every child receives Education.
Thank You
