Educating Girls in Rural Areas

Published on July 21, 2025 by AFBI Welfare Foundation

Education is a powerful tool for change — and yet, millions of girls in rural Pakistan are still denied the opportunity to learn. At AFBI, we are working to break this cycle by bringing education directly to them.

Building Trust Through Local Outreach

Many families are hesitant to send their daughters to school due to distance or cultural concerns. We’ve partnered with local elders and families to build trust and open schools within walking distance of their homes.

Female Teachers, Safer Environments

To encourage higher enrollment, AFBI hires female teachers and provides secure learning environments. These steps ensure that families feel confident in sending their daughters to school.

The Impact of a Single Book

Girls who receive education marry later, contribute economically, and make informed choices. By educating girls, we’re shaping entire generations to come.

You Can Help a Girl Learn

Sponsor school supplies, teacher salaries, or even construction of a classroom. Your support opens the doors to a better future for girls who deserve to shine.
