Project Report | Aug 12, 2025
Stories That Travel, Hope That Grows!

By Amna Hassan Kazmi | CEO

Quarterly Donor Impact Report – Book Distribution Project
April – June 2025

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Because of your generosity, thousands of children across Pakistan are holding new books in their hands, discovering worlds they’ve never imagined, and unlocking the joy of reading. Every page they turn is a direct result of your belief in our mission.

In the last quarter, we proudly distributed 6,378 books — all free of cost — funded entirely through your contributions on GlobalGiving. These books are not just paper and ink; they are gateways to imagination, learning, and hope.

Here’s where your kindness reached:

Each set of 34 books costs PKR 10,000 (approx. USD 36), and every rupee you donated was transformed into stories, knowledge, and lasting memories for children in underserved communities.

Why this matters
For many of these children, this is the first time they have received a brand-new, beautifully illustrated book to call their own. Your support is helping bridge the literacy gap, inspire creativity, and foster a love for reading that will shape their futures.

We are deeply grateful to every donor who made this possible. Your continued trust enables us to reach farther and dream bigger for the children of Pakistan. Together, we are building a future where every child has access to quality books and the chance to dream without limits.

With schools reopening in September, these books will finally find their way into the eager hands of children in all the areas we reached, communities where they previously had no or very limited access to quality books. Soon, classrooms and libraries will come alive with stories, laughter, and curiosity. In the next quarter, we will share updates on the children’s feedback, their joyful comments, and how their reading levels are improving because of your support. Stay tuned, the journey of these books has just begun, and so has the impact you’ve made possible.
