Schools: Educating underserved girls in Pakistan

This term, Moqah Foundation continued its commitment to quality education for children from underserved communities and successfully conducted examinations across all grade levels to assess students’ academic progress and the effectiveness of our teaching interventions. These assessments focused on core subjects including English, Mathematics, Science, and Urdu.

Despite the significant challenges faced by children from underserved communities, exam results reflected steady learning gains, particularly in foundational literacy and numeracy. The outcomes are being used to refine teaching strategies and provide targeted academic support, ensuring that donor contributions continue to translate into measurable learning outcomes.

In line with Moqah Foundation’s commitment to holistic child development, the second term included a range of structured co-curricular activities designed to strengthen confidence, creativity, and social skills.

Key activities included:

• Reading and storytelling sessions to improve language and comprehension
• Art and craft activities to encourage creativity and self-expression
• Physical games promoting teamwork, discipline, and wellbeing
• Life skills and values-based sessions focusing on hygiene, respect, and responsibility

These activities play a vital role in keeping children engaged in school and supporting their emotional and social development—particularly for first-generation learners who often lack such opportunities outside the classroom.

The school organized a field trip to provide students with hands-on experience beyond the class room. Through hands-on exploration and shared discovery, students connected their lessons to the real world, built confidence, and strengthened friendships. For many, it was a rare opportunity to experience new environments—sparking curiosity, broadening horizons, and creating memories that inspire a deeper love for learning.

Moqah Foundation observes a winter break to safeguard students’ health and wellbeing during the colder months. Prior to the break, teachers support students and families by:

• Providing revision guidance and simple at-home learning activities
• Engaging parents to reinforce the importance of continued learning
• Offering warm clothing support to children most in need, where resources allowed

The winter break ensures that students return to school rested, motivated, and ready to continue their learning journey.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our donors for their continued trust and commitment. Your support allows Moqah Foundation to deliver transparent, accountable, and impactful educational programs for those who need them most.
