The kuchha (makeshift) home that Taskiya has known from birth has no water or washroom. If they can afford the pay-per-use toilets nearby, they get to use decent sanitation. If the tankers that charge by the litre come their way, they get clean drinking water. Quality education wasn’t on the cards for Taskiya or her two younger siblings.
Today, though, Taskiya and her sister Aadiba attend our pre-primary classes in their slum community only because your donations power our learning centre there. Every school day, the children get to open their minds to worlds beyond poverty through all that they’re learning. They are loved and nurtured by teachers and community workers who believe in their potential.
Taskiya and Aadiba’s mother Razda Bano says she that though her children have been a part of our learning centre for a year, she still can’t believe that they get such quality pre-primary education for free! “For a short while long ago we sent Taskiya to a private school, but we just couldn’t afford it. We are so grateful that our children can now learn and grow at Vision Rescue,” she says.
Thank you for your gifts that have rescued Taskiya and Aadiba from spending their lives playing in the dirt around their slum community. You’ve gifted them dignity, hope, dreams and purpose instead.
