Tending cattle by the age of 5, Anita never dreamed she would get an education. Now she is a qualified teacher inspiring students at the very Developments in Literacy (DIL) school she attended.
When a DIL school opened in her village, Anita received a scholarship allowing her to go. Year after year she was top of her class while working after school to help support her family.
She realised her goal of becoming a teacher and last year joined the teaching staff at DIL’s Syed Waryal Shah School. Now Anita is encouraging her students to work hard, achieve good grades and accomplish their goals.
“It’s women like Anita who are the true catalysts for grassroots social change in Pakistan,” says a DIL representative.
DIL is dedicated to providing quality education to disadvantaged children, especially girls, by establishing and operating schools in underdeveloped regions of Pakistan. Trust funding improves the quality of education at DIL’s school with effective training for over 600 rural teachers.

Since 1972 MMC has reached out to more than 150,000 children who would otherwise be left to wander on the dangerous sites while their parents worked.
Mumbai Mobile Crèches also trains women from migrant communities to become teachers so that they can run centres themselves. MMC aims to be a demonstration model of quality childcare for construction sites across India. Continue reading Corporate partner views Trust at work…
