Dear Pakistan Project Supporters,
We’re delighted to share the latest updates from Bedari’s Girls’ Education Project in District Chakwal, Pakistan, supported by Girls Education International.
From July to September 2025, your support continued to provide monthly transportation to girls in the villages of Begal, Marath, Chhabri, and Chabbar, ensuring that distance and safety never stand in the way of learning.
This quarter, 22 girls graduated after completing their Grade 10 matriculation exams and 24 new students joined. That brings the total number of girls supported to 65—43 in Grades 6–10 and 22 in Grades 11–12.
Beyond academics, we’ve seen beautiful growth in the girls’ confidence and collaboration. Group study circles have become common—as Zainab shared, "Some topics are very hard to understand alone, so now we sit together and solve problems. It feels good—we study and also share our feelings and challenges. It helps us emotionally and academically."
We also celebrated stories like Bisma’s, who, after losing her father at a young age, feared her education would end when her mother could no longer support her school fees. Her courage led her to reach out to Bedari—and today she proudly attends Government Degree College Bhagwal. “That was the beginning of a beautiful new journey,” she says.
The road isn't without challenges. During the peanut harvesting season, some girls' school attendance dropped as they joined their families in agricultural work. Yet, despite challenges like this one, Bedari reports that requests for educational support are on the rise—reminding us that every girl that goes to school is part of changing minds about the value of education.
Your continued support helps turn determination into opportunity. Each contribution ensures that girls in rural Pakistan can stay in school, chase their dreams, and shape a brighter future for themselves and their families.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Sidra Khan
