Education Project

Education remains our main focus of our activities. By the end of 2018, Supporting Hands UK were providing financial support to 100+ students for education fees.  All the students are either from the family of a Shaheed or from under privilege backgrounds.  All the students progressed to the next year of education during 2018. 3 of the students scored top marks in the board exams of Federal Board of Pakistan.  The breakdown of students are as follows:

                              53 – Primary School

                              39 – Secondary School

                              10 – University / College

Senior students are studying for Chartered Accountancy, Degrees in zoology, sociology and other science groups. Geographically, these students are in Karachi and Northern Pakistan. Our target is to reach 150 students by the end 2019.
