Dear Friends and Supporters,
This quarter, we've witnessed remarkable progress with an addition of 52,761 students, bringing our total to an impressive 323,323 students. Dosti's efforts have resonated particularly in regions like Sindh, Gilgit-Baltistan, and the Newly Merged Districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan.
One of the most heartening stories from this quarter comes from the Tirah Valley in the Khyber District of Pakistan. After a decade-long gap, a One Room School was inaugurated, enrolling 106 eager students. Notably, a significant number of these students are girls, marking a monumental achievement considering the challenges in the region.
The Dosti One Room School Starter Kits continue to transform communities. Dosti's flexible model has become a beacon of hope in areas where formal school infrastructure remains a distant dream. Schools are springing up in the most unexpected places - under tree shades, in open skies, and on house verandas, instilling a profound sense of accomplishment and pride in the communities.
While our impact is palpable and growing, we face challenges, especially in the realm of funding. Despite not receiving substantial support from GlobalGiving, our optimism remains unshaken. We are continuously exploring innovative ways to sustain and expand our efforts, along with continuous assistance from the Dosti Foundation to its implementing partner, Dosti, in Pakistan.
As we look to the future, we invite friends of children and education enthusiasts to join our mission. With your continued support, we aim to reach out to even more out-of-school children in Pakistan in the coming months.
Thank you for your support and belief in our vision.
Warm regards,
