MALIK SCHOOL

Kohat, Pakistan

Edu-GIRLS Support to Date: $109K

2022 Enrollment: 402 Girls

Malik School, located in an economically challenged and conservative region, is affiliated with CARE Pakistan, which runs 900 schools with a dedication to quality education. Malik School has faced difficulty in attracting donors. It is a co-ed school and in 2018 only went to grade 7. In 2019, the school established a separate campus for girls, added Grades 9 and 10, increased use of English as medium of instruction, increased enrollment of girls from economically challenged families to 160, started free bus transport, began School Board testing from Grade 9, and started to integrate use of information technology. Plans for 2020 include developing post-high school support programs for girls which are in harmony with the culture of this region.

Education is a gift that no flood can take away. Edu-GIRLS joined hands with CARE to further its mission of educating children in marginalized communities. I hope that by providing quality education, we can make a significant difference in the lives of children, their families and communities at large.
