Title: Free School Education for the Poorest Children in Village Areas: A Mission of Hope and Change Introduction In many villages across Pakistan, countless children wake up every morning to face a life burdened by poverty, hunger, and hopelessness. These children, despite having dreams and potential, are often denied the basic right to education. Education, which should be the foundation of their future, becomes an unreachable goal due to financial constraints, lack of resources, and the absence of support systems. Recognizing this critical need, we have launched a revolutionary initiative: a Free School System for the Poorest Children in Village Areas. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to provide completely free education-from basic needs to academic growth-for children who otherwise would never get the chance to step inside a classroom. This includes not just books and uniforms, but also food, emotional support, and life skills. We believe that no child should be left behind because of poverty. Chapter 1: The Harsh Reality in Rural Pakistan In rural areas of Pakistan, families often survive on daily wages, if at all. Children are either forced to work in fields, beg on streets, or stay at home caring for siblings while their parents work. For many of these families, education is considered a luxury they cannot afford. Schools may be too far, lack basic infrastructure, or demand fees and supplies the parents simply can't manage. In some villages, there are no schools at all. In others, the schools that exist may be under-resourced, with untrained teachers and crumbling buildings. Many students drop out due to financial pressure or because the family doesn't see immediate benefits from education. The result? A continuous cycle of poverty that passes from generation to generation. Chapter 2: The Vision of Free Education Our vision is to break this cycle by offering 100% free schooling to the most disadvantaged children. We don't just open classrooms; we open doors to a new life. Our schools are places where children can learn, grow, and discover their purpose. Every student enrolled receives: Free Admission: No child is turned away due to inability to pay. Free Books and Stationery: Ensuring every child has the tools they need to succeed. Free School Bags and Uniforms: Creating a sense of equality and dignity. Free Daily Meals: Providing nutrition so that hunger never stands in the way of learning. Free Primary and Secondary Education: Building a strong academic foundation. But our work doesn't end there. We plan to accompany our students through every stage of growth. Chapter 3: Moving Beyond School - Vocational Training Once students complete their secondary education, they are enrolled in vocational training programs tailored to their interests and the needs of the job market. Our goal is to prepare them for real-world opportunities that can support their families and uplift their communities. Training programs include: Tailoring and Stitching Computer and IT Skills Spoken English Beauty and Wellness Training for Girls Social Media and Digital Marketing Entrepreneurship and Career Counseling We provide these trainings free of cost, often with stipends and materials included, so our students can focus on learning. Many graduates go on to find jobs, start small businesses, or even return to help teach the next generation. Chapter 4: The Dream of a College Our long-term goal is to establish a Free College where deserving students can pursue higher education without worrying about finances. By doing this, we aim to create future doctors, teachers, engineers, social workers, and leaders who will bring change not just in their families, but in society at large. We envision our students becoming the voice of progress in their villages. Running a completely free school system is not easy. Our challenges include: Financial Struggles: We rely entirely on donations. Without consistent support, expansion becomes difficult. Lack of Infrastructure: Many of our schools are in rented or semi-constructed buildings. Shortage of Teachers and Staff: Volunteers help, but we need trained, full-time educators. Transportation Issues: Many children walk long distances to school. Despite these obstacles, our passion never fades. Every challenge only deepens our faith and strengthens our resolve. We dream of a Pakistan where no child is deprived of education. Where schools are full, not empty. Where every village has a safe space for learning. Our vision includes: Building Schools Across Pakistan Creating Online Learning Platforms for Remote Areas Establishing Mobile Schools for Nomadic Communities Training Teachers from Within Villages Launching Free Colleges and Universities We are committed to this mission until every child has a future full of hope.

Street Child Nederland's social mission is to ensure that every child, especially girls and children from marginalised communities, has access to inclusive, quality education in a safe and supportive environment. We work to break the cycle of poverty and exclusion by addressing the root causes that keep children out of school, including gender inequality, economic hardship, and social marginalisation. Our priority objective is to create sustainable and community-driven solutions that not only improve access to education but also strengthen child protection, family resilience, and local capacity.

Rural Support Programmes Network (RSPN) Vision: Realising people's potential for economic and social empowerment. Mission: Strengthen RSPs to foster institutions of the people. The Rural Support Programmes Network (RSPN) is the largest civil society network of Pakistan representing nine Rural Support Programmes (RSPs). It was established in the year 2000 and has been operational in Pakistan for more than two decades now. RSPN vision is 'realising people's potential for economic and social empowerment' while mission is to 'strengthen and support Rural Support Programmes to foster people's institution'. RSPN is registered under the Companies Act, 2017 and registered as a Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) under clause (36) of Section 2 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. RSPN has also been duly evaluated and certified as a non-profit organisation by Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy (PCP). As a part of standard operating procedures RSPN has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Economic Affairs Division for the implementation of foreign funded projects which is valid till April 2024. RSPN serves as a critical national-level strategic platform for the RSPs and provides capacity-building support to RSPs besides taking a lead in advocating policy advocacy and developing donor linkages. It is geographically well positioned to work with the government and donors at the national level while maintaining an edge through its vast countrywide outreach to rural communities through its partner RSPs. RSPN also serves as a one window operation for large scale donor funded projects. Management Structure The Board of Directors is responsible for setting strategic direction, reviews and approves RSPN's Business Plans and develops guiding policies for RSPN. The Board is a mix of representatives from public and private sector institutions, academia, industry and philanthropists. The Board comprises 23 Directors and 2 Advisors and includes the CEOs and Chairpersons of all member RSPs. Operationally, RSPN has a core office in Islamabad with project support/ management units. In addition, RSPN has field and project offices in selected locations. In partnership with member RSPs, RSPN implement programmes and projects in all provinces across Pakistan. The core office, led by the CEO and supported by the COO and sector specialists, provides technical and intellectual backstopping support to projects and member RSPs, besides ensuring quality standards to deliver projects and services, mobilising resources for expansion/coverage, donor liaison, knowledge sharing, and overall guidance and supervision of RSPN's programme. Community Outreach RSPN, through the Rural Support Programmes (RSPs), is operating in 152 districts working with over 8.68 million poor households (56 million people) that have been organised through a three-tiered social mobilisation approach (figure on right). At the first level (the neighbourhood), rural households are organised into Community Organisations (COs) consisting of members from 10-15 households. Most often, women and men have their own CBOs. CBOs commit to have monthly meetings, start a savings programme and choose trustworthy leaders who are then trained by the RSP. At the second tier, the COs are federated at the village level into Village Organisations (VOs), through their leaders. And, at the third tier, VOs federate at the union council level (lowest tier of government administrative structure) to form a Local Support Organisation (LSO) with representatives from all levels. To date, RSPN has organised almost 8.7 million rural households (58.5 million people) in the form of 535,211 COs, of which 53% are women's COs, 44,762 VOs, of which 76% are women VOs and a total of 2,471 LSOs, of which 45% are women LSOs. The social capital RSPN has developed is in partnership with its member RSPs and is a unique and incomparable resource. The membership of these community institutions is diverse i.e. inclusive of religious minorities, people with special needs, youth, poor and vulnerable populations. By engaging these community institutions, RSPN/RSPs have implemented many initiatives/programmes that have been 'contextualised' and tailored to local conditions, in areas of livelihood improvement, women's economic empowerment, micro enterprise development, family planning, Maternal Neonatal and Child Health (MNCH), Disaster Risk Reduction, agriculture and climate resilience, renewable energy, etc. An existing network of community institutions means that project start-up is quick, and implementation is effective due to RSPN's long-standing relationship with community institutions across the country. Partners in Development Since its inception in the year 2000, RSPN has implemented 127 projects and programmes worth USD 305 million. The long-term relationship with donors, partners and communities is a definitive indicator of RSPN's performance, transparency and accountability.

MSF makes financial transparency and rigorous management of its accounts a priority. The 3 audits of the Cour des Comptes (The French Court of Auditors) in 1998, 2004 and 2010 resulted in particularly commendable reports. Logistical strength: MSF Logistique (located in Merignac, France), is a dedicated entity created in 1986. The Merignac base is one of the world's largest centres for the transport of humanitarian supplies, with 18,500 m of storage space.
