With the school being completed in the summer, and a teacher hired for the year, what matters most is the development of the children, by providing a platform for them to learn and achieve their potential.

On Friday November 28^th the school held its first open evening for parents of students, and discussed the future of their children. Each point raised in the open evening highlighted the importance of education in planning a bright future. Education throughout the years, supplying the necessities in schools, and regular school attendance, were some of those key points highlighted in the meeting.

Education throughout the years.

Key to the success of the school sponsored by Color My World is the need for consistency in education, through the funding of the school, and opportunities for the continued learning for the children of Islamabad. Families and teachers agreed on the long term importance of the school, and ensuring that the doors stay open, no matter the cost.

Supplies for schools

For each child to learn, and take in all the knowledge available, supplies are needed. Whether the pen or pencil, notebook or study guide, each child needs the basic necessities to succeed. As a community, the families of Islamabad have committed to give 100% effort to support their children in learning. These supplies are not only needed in the classroom, but at home, by providing an ability to rest in peace, and nourishment for sustenance.

Regular school attendance

At the conclusion of the parents evening, teachers and mothers agreed on the importance of their children’s regular school attendance. As parents committed to supporting their children in their education, they devoted themselves to providing a brighter future with more opportunities to the rising generation.

As a charity we are proud to sponsor a school and community that are so committed to the future of their children. There is always a need for further support, from the funding of a teacher’s salary, to the purchasing of school supplies. To get involved in the sponsoring of the school, donate below and help us make a change in the future generation of Islamabad.

The post Parents Evening In Islamabad appeared first on Color My World.

BACKGROUND:

Women are the 52% of the total population of Pakistan and it is the group which is ranked as second citizen of Pakistan by decades and due to that it is facing discrimination and inequity at every step of their life, from their birth till death. It is not considered a blessing if a girl takes birth in a family; even they take it as a responsibility and burden. They have no decision making power, totally dependent to their families, having no right to decide, to mobility, etc. even our judiciary system considers witness of two women equal to one man.

The literacy ratio is very low in comparison to the males and for that reason they can’t access a good source of earning. Mostly women after their marriages are suffering certain pains because they are nothing without their husbands and family. Prostitution and sexual harassment is also one major reason not to let women go out for earnings.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES:

To enable women and young girls to explore and discover their own personalities, their abilities, interests, needs ambitions, limitations and their causes by equipping them with skills and techniques.
To open a Stitching Unit where these young girls and women will learn sewing and stitching during a certain time period. Each class will be of three hours. These training sessions will be held for 15 hrs per week.
Promote skills among the unskilled girls in order to minimize unemployment
Create awareness among the girls about the importance of skill.

NEED OF THE PROJECT:

Several factors make it difficult for women in slums to achieve their full potential. Limited schooling is one factor. These factors contribute to the deterioration of health, housing, and economic conditions of the household. For women having to support their households, a reliable source of income is crucial. However, there is a lack of formal work opportunity for women living in slums that would allow them to obtain a stable income. This project will facilitate the women heads of households, in order to improve the quality of life for their families.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT:

About 20 women will be trained through the women’s sewing center. The poor community will be able to save their income and earn at their household level. Sewing training will hopefully be a good source of income and thus will give their families a better life. The vision is to share the love of Jesus with women who could be given the opportunity to learn a life skill through sewing. This would help lift their families out of poverty and give them hope for the future. It is a fact that if you don’t work you don’t earn and have nothing to survive on. I hope the ladies will become self-sufficient with the help of this sewing centre.

VISION OF THE PROJECT:

The vision of this project is to develop capacity building of women who will;

Ø Have enhanced awareness and improved skills.

Ø Improving family situation and income.

Ø Through which rural women can able to get empowerment.

TYPES OF SKILLS WOMEN PARTICIPANTS WILL GET:

Hand embroidery training
Dress making and designing

DURATION OF THE PROJECT

The duration of the project is initially for a period of 1 year from the date of inception.

EXPECTED RESULTS OF THE PROJECT:

20 unskilled, illiterate and unemployed young girls will become aware of the importance of vocational guidance and technical skills.

20 unskilled poor girls would have completed their sewing and stitching training.

The beneficiaries of the project will become a source of earning hand for their families for improvement in the socio-economic situation.
