This model school in the Karachi slums is going from strength to strength

Last year I was so impressed by the social enterprise model of this school having such academic standards that, not only it provided a safe haven for children in the slums, but also attracted children from more affluent areas, thus becoming economically sustainable and diverse.

It was refreshing to see the new pre-nursery intake, increase in nursery classes, creative use of limited urban space whilst still homely in its ethos, older children’s pride in reading, and their broadening horizons from sports and other external activities. As usual, they were generous with their welcoming cards to keep me going for another year. Inspiring teachers and director!
