About this project

We support orphanages, schools and vulnerable children facing financial and social barriers to education and basic welfare. Roughly 50 students have been supported with school fees, uniforms, books and other learning requirements.

The programme also invests in the institutions themselves. Solar systems have been installed to improve energy availability and keep educational activity running uninterrupted, and we have provided water coolers, water tanks and air-conditioning to improve school infrastructure and student comfort.

A library facility has been established at Cathedral School to widen access to educational resources, and solar installation and renovation work has been completed at Pakistan Sweet Home across two centres serving orphaned children.

How it works

  • School fees, uniforms, books and learning materials
  • Solar systems so power cuts do not stop lessons
  • Water coolers, tanks and cooling for school buildings
  • A library at Cathedral School; renovations at Pakistan Sweet Home

Frequently asked

Do you run your own orphanage?

No. We support orphanages and schools that serve vulnerable children, rather than operating one ourselves.

What has the infrastructure work involved?

Solar systems for uninterrupted power, water coolers and tanks, air-conditioning, a library at Cathedral School, and solar installation plus renovation at two Pakistan Sweet Home centres.

Why spend on buildings rather than only on children?

Because a school without power, water or somewhere to read limits what any amount of fee support can achieve. The two work together.

Can I sponsor one child?

Tell us in the message box and we will come back with what a year of support costs for a specific case.
