Pakistani school charges 1 rupee fee

[53fd]

Aml-e-Danish school, in one of the poorest areas of the southern Pakistani city of Karachi, charges fees of just one rupee (US$0.01).

Its founder, Parveen Rao, says that the cost preserves the children's dignity and self-esteem, preventing them from seeing themselves as charity cases in a country where even government educational institutions charge substantial fees.

The school also runs classes for parents and offers loans to help them obtain qualifications.

May God bless Parveen Rao for the work she has done for the 'less fortunate'. She should be recognized for her efforts.

A very good effort by Parveen Rao. Could very well turn out to be another Edhi type foundation.
