Amazing 30 Months
What We Do…
saMas Charity – Kids Education Program is a dedicated initiative aimed at supporting students across various cities with their school-related expenses.
This comprehensive support includes covering monthly fees and annual charges, ensuring that the financial barriers to education are minimized for these children.
Each year, we also provide students with a course pack, equipping them with the necessary learning materials for their academic journey. Understanding the importance of uniformity and belonging, our program includes the provision of school uniforms, fostering a sense of community and pride among the students.
Navish Pervaiz
My name is Navish, residing in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Since 2022, I’ve been part of the saMas Charity program. Despite my family’s warmth, we lacked material wealth, making education seem out of reach. However, discovering the saMas Charity education program changed everything. It not only offered financial support but also provided books, uniforms, and a mentor. Thriving in this nurturing environment, I excelled academically and became a beacon in my community, advocating for the program. With my newfound knowledge, I aspire to become a doctor, aiming to uplift those in need. saMas ignited a flame of hope and ambition within me that will guide me for years to come.
Educational Disparities in South Asia: Challenges and Insights
In South Asia, girls are 2X more likely than boys to never set foot in a classroom. This highlights the significant gender disparities in educational access within the country.
In South Asia, children from underprivileged backgrounds often begin their schooling significantly behind their peers. While specific data like the “18 months” figure from the U.S. might not directly translate, the general trend of educational inequality is a critical issue.
A substantial proportion of children living in poverty in South Asia lack access to early childhood education, such as preschool. This lack mirrors the situation in the U.S., where 2 in 5 children in poverty had no preschool access.
Following the COVID-19 lockdown, almost 10 million children globally, with a considerable number in South Asia, may never return to school. This statistic underscores the profound impact of the pandemic on education, particularly in countries like Pakistan where educational access is already challenged.

The opportunity to receive a quality education is shaping a hopeful future for both sisters, opening doors to new possibilities and dreams.
Abeeha, Arham & Rohan’s Journey with saMas Charity
Sana Zubair, a dedicated mother to three wonderful children—Abeeha, Arham, and Rohan—faces numerous challenges in ensuring the best for her family. Despite these difficulties, her journey as a parent has been immensely rewarding, largely due to the invaluable educational support her children have received from saMas Charity.
This assistance has been a crucial factor in her family’s life, helping Sana provide her children with the opportunities they need to thrive.
The Grade-Level Competency Test (GLCT) was specifically conducted for students receiving educational support from saMas Charity throughout their academic years. These tests were organized in three key Pakistani cities: Lahore, Karachi, and Multan. Tailored to assess students from grades 1 to 8, the initiative was meticulously orchestrated in a physical setting, with Team saMas playing an integral role. Students benefiting from saMas Charity’s support were invited to designated examination centers in these cities. The primary objective of the GLCT was to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the academic proficiency of each student at their respective grade levels. This assessment was particularly vital in ensuring that the educational standards and learning objectives are consistently met, thereby contributing significantly to the educational advancement of students supported by saMas Charity in Lahore, Karachi, and Multan.
