School visits are to show you real schools with real problems, to give you an understanding of the importance of education. All visited schools meet two requirements. First, the schools are small, needy and run at the community level. Most schools in Pakistan were like this. Second, every school should have a recommendation from an organisation I trust. These were Actionaid and SPO. We filmed most of the schools below in Pakistan through a collaboration with Pakistan Television (PTV). Below are their stories.
The contact details and the most importantly the needs of each school are given after each story. You can directly contact each school as each one needs our help. Any donation to this campaign goes a long way to helping establish more schools like these and keeping plenty more running. Thankyou and enjoy
