Education as a Fundamental Right

Education as a Fundamental Right

Human Appeal delivers life-saving humanitarian aid and long-term support to Palestinian communities, protecting dignity, hope, and human life in times of crisis and beyond.

Human Appeal has constructed new schools in underserved communities and rehabilitated damaged schools through classroom repairs, window maintenance, and sanitation facility upgrades.


In Kashmir (Bagh), Human Appeal rebuilt a public secondary school for girls that had been destroyed in the 2005 earthquake, enabling 250 students to continue their education in a safe environment.

Distribution of school bags and uniforms to children, particularly orphans and those from the most impoverished households.
Provision of complete educational kits (notebooks, pens, and learning materials) to support uninterrupted access to education.

In partnership with SEF, Human Appeal launched adult literacy centers for individuals who did not have the opportunity to attend school during childhood.
Special focus is placed on girls and women who face compounded barriers to accessing education.

Established in 2021 in Shahdara to serve street-connected children and girls from low-income families.
The center provides daily literacy and numeracy classes alongside a daily nutritious meal.
It offers psychosocial support through a full-time psychologist to address trauma and the effects of abuse or neglect.
It delivers vocational training programs for young women (sewing, beauty services, and life skills) to promote self-reliance.
The center also includes a free medical clinic, providing treatment and medication to more than 2,500 people annually.

  • 680 orphans received school bags and educational supplies
  • 393 children received specialized psychosocial support
  • 117 street children enrolled at Amina Centre and received non-formal education
  • 5,353 children accessed educational opportunities through schools and learning centers

Shelter and Settlements

Housing Crisis in Pakistan:

  • The 2022 floods destroyed over 2.3 million homes, leaving millions of families homeless.
  • Most homes in rural areas are made of mud and are highly vulnerable to floods and heavy rains, leading to easy collapse.
  • Lack of shelter not only means losing a roof, but also losing privacy, deteriorating health, and increased disease exposure due to absence of proper sanitation.


Human Appeal Projects:

Flood-Resilient Homes:
  • After the successful model of flood-resilient homes built in Rahim Yar Khan in 2011 that survived the 2022 floods, Human Appeal launched a major project in 2023 to build similar homes in the most affected areas: Dadu and Qambar Shahdadkot, Sindh Province.
  • By the end of 2024, 500 flood-resistant homes were completed, benefiting over 3,500 people.

Built 5–6 feet above ground to protect against floodwaters
Constructed with reinforced concrete and steel for durability
Each home includes:

  • A fully equipped kitchen
  • A spacious living room
  • Ventilation windows
  • An indoor toilet ensuring privacy, hygiene, and safe sanitation
  • Electricity and lighting to meet family needs
  • These homes provide more than shelter; they restore stability and dignity to families after years of displacement
  • They have reduced waterborne diseases and improved overall hygiene and health

Pakistan’s Health Gap

More than 62% of the population lives in rural areas where healthcare facilities and physicians are scarce. Patients often travel long distances or face unaffordable treatment costs.
This gap leads to preventable deaths and increases malnutrition rates, especially among children and women.

Water and Sanitation

Challenges facing Pakistan:
  • Over 22 million people in Pakistan lack access to a clean water source near their homes.
  • Approximately 69 million people do not have access to proper sanitation facilities, resulting in unhygienic practices and exposing women and girls to additional risks.
  • Following the 2022 floods, the number of people without access to safe drinking water rose to over 10 million, exacerbating diarrhea, typhoid, and malnutrition among children.
  • Constructed 758 deep water wells providing safe drinking water to 79,948 people.

  • Built 11 solar-powered water networks to sustainably supply villages.

Conducted 3,000 hygiene awareness sessions on handwashing, personal hygiene, and disease prevention, reaching 45,203 people.

Empowered 49 fully integrated villages in Tharparkar by installing solar-powered water tanks with a daily capacity of 17,000 liters, household toilets, solar lighting, and training residents in home gardening.

The Orphan Crisis in Pakistan

An estimated 4.6 million orphans live in Pakistan, most under the age of 17. Many face lack of education, food insecurity, limited healthcare access, and fragile socio-economic conditions.

This group is highly vulnerable to poverty, exploitation, and child labor, making timely and sustainable intervention critical.

Human Appeal’s Orphan Sponsorship Program in Pakistan

Launched in 2007, the program now operates across nine regions: Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Bagh, Mansehra, Faisalabad, Tharparkar, Rahim Yar Khan, Bhimber, and Mirpur.

  • Sponsorship is not only financial support, it is a comprehensive program providing:
  • Coverage of school and university tuition fees
  • Basic food and healthcare support
  • Household stipends to address essential living needs
  • Priority access to other Human Appeal programs (health, WASH, livelihoods)

A holistic framework ensuring comprehensive care for orphans, including education, healthcare, psychosocial support, and nutrition, while empowering their families through shelter and livelihoods programs.

Over time, the program evolved from simple cash assistance to a comprehensive model ensuring:

  • Education: School kits and tuition coverage
  • Health: Coverage of urgent medical cases when needed
  • Psychosocial Support: Regular sessions to build self-confidence and protect children from trauma
    Family
  • Empowerment: Prioritization of orphan households in shelter, livelihoods, and food assistance programs.

    This model creates a stable, supportive environment that promotes long-term development rather than short-term financial relief.
  • 4,556 orphans received regular sponsorship support.
  • 680 orphans received new school bags and educational supplies.
  • Hundreds of orphans benefited from psychosocial support sessions and recreational and educational activities.

Disclaimer on Aid Delivery
