Teach For Pakistan Fellows - outstanding university graduates - teach full-time in public schools, accelerating learning for students who are 3-4 years behind grade-level. As students and Fellows strive to close the achievement gap, they face a shortage of everyday learning resources, e.g., stationery, reference books/materials and copying funds. Your Zakat, sadqa, and donations equip 150 teachers and 9,700+ students across rural Islamabad with the tools to build the tomorrow of their dreams.

Challenge

Our teaching Fellows and students work tirelessly towards expanded learning and life outcomes. This requires materials that are hard for under-resourced schools and students from low-income backgrounds to finance, e.g., stationery, reference books, funds for printing and copying, and materials for projects and experiments. Even as Fellows strive to close the digital divide so that their students can leverage ed-tech innovation, what their classrooms need most today are basic learning tools.

Long-Term Impact

Studies from the developing world show that classrooms with adequate teaching and learning resources produce excellent academic outcomes and that teachers largely contribute to these costs. In one study, teachers highlighted the importance of basic resources like posters, charts, and diagrams in achieving students' learning outcomes. Helping students succeed academically today means many more of them will complete schooling, and go on to lives and careers that provide dignity, choice and freedom
