NUR Foundation and Fatima Memorial Hospital continues to provide education to the underprivileged communities (without any discrimination of age/gender/caste/religion, etc.) through their chain of formal and informal schools in underdeveloped and neglected areas of Lahore. Every year, approximately 2,500 students pass out from our schools. The current students enrolled in NCOP Schools located in Malikpur/Talwara, Lakhudair, Nainsukh, and Gajjumatta total 2,000.
These children need uniforms, books, and other education support materials. Moreover, the schools need heaters, and other accessories through which these children are able to study. As the winter approaches we are striving very hard to provide a comfortable environment.
Pakistan needs continuous investment in education which is likely to create knowledge creation in multiple fields of science and technologies, innovation, and providing technical and vocational skills to the youth bulge that may spill over into higher productivity in almost all the fields of national life of Pakistan.
As the laws gets tougher day by day in the Country. More and more out of school children are expected to re-join schools. Given the scarcity of teaching staff in government run schools, and lack of infrastructure, Nur Foundation – Fatima Memorial is trying its best to retain and develop best possible mentors who would be an asset in nation building. We do capacity building of teacher within the same communities.
Apart from formal and informal schools, these kids also have the opportunity of joining a vocational program leading to a diploma in various technical fields. The graduates of the vocational training program have an opportunity to work abroad and be a source of foreign remittance for the country and a bread earner for their homes.
