- One out of five children live in extreme poverty, and the negative effects of poverty and deprivation in the early years have ramifications that can last a lifetime.
- Southern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa are expected to see the largest increases in extreme poverty, with an additional 32 million and 26 million people, respectively, living below the international poverty line as a result of the pandemic.
Changing the World.One Story at a Time.
Tehrish is a student at our all girl’s campus in Pakistan. This is 1 of 4 campuses serving the poorest communities of Karachi, Pakistan.
Generation after generation of children, especially girls, are locked out of education—and into poverty. It’s why we stage interventions and counseling sessions the moment we notice any of our female students facing an issue. Cultural barriers often dictate that women manage child rearing and domestic duties versus working outside of the home. Tehrish has a chance to be anything she wants to be, thanks to your support!
What does she want to be when she grows up? Tehrish wishes to be a teacher, inspired by Miss Saba, her current 5th grade teacher at our DREAMS school.

Our board members work as volunteers around the clock, taking no salary and allocating very little to management overhead. A miniscule 1% was our overhead allocation in 2021 and it was donated by our kind sponsors and corporate partners.
