Karachi: Bakheet Ateeq Al Remeithi, Consul General of the United Arab Emirates in Karachi, has urged concerned philanthropists and donors in Pakistan to wholeheartedly support genuine charities that work to provide education to children in oppressed communities.
The UAE Consul General made the remarks at an Iftar dinner at the Karachi Golf Club to brief potential donors on the achievements of the non-profit Al-Furqan welfare organization in educating underprivileged children.
Mr. Remeithi said that non-profit organizations that really do charitable work in the education sector are really serving Pakistan, and only by addressing the problem of out-of-school children can Pakistan’s progress and development be achieved.
Also advise potential donors to donate generously to charities like Al-Furqan.
He said that only proper education can empower the next generation in disadvantaged areas to support their families and enable them to overcome poverty and serve the country in the best possible way.
He urged the Al-Furqan welfare organization to continue its campaign to tackle the illiteracy problem affecting several impoverished families in Pakistan.
Faryal Asif, president of Al-Furqan Welfare, said her nonprofit began its journey 12 years ago, opening a one-room charity school with just 16 children enrolled.
She expresses her sincere gratitude to the concerned donors and supporters of her non-profit organization, which enabled it to build 14 schools in Karachi, enrolling more than 2,500 students from underprivileged families.
She appealed to concerned philanthropists to continue to provide support to Al-Furqan schools which, in addition to education, cater for the nutritional, health and vocational training needs of students.
She told the audience that Al-Furqan has the support of two donor organizations that work to finance higher education for students graduating from the school, making them productive members of Pakistani society.
She expressed her determination to expand the number of Al-Furqan schools to enroll more out-of-school children in impoverished areas of the country.
