Eman, a student in Pakistan, comes from a modest household where her parents prioritized her brother’s education, buying him a bicycle to attend school five kilometers away. When Eman passed her Secondary School Certificate matric exams and expressed her wish to join college (Grades 11–12), her father refused due to the cost of transportation.
Determined to continue her studies, Eman reached out to her former principal, who guided her to Bedari, our partner in Pakistan. With support from Girls Education International through Bedari, she was enrolled in Grade 11 and received books, a uniform, a sweater and monthly travel support. Eman thrived and is currently studying in Grade 12!
She now dreams of becoming a writer to challenge the mindset that invests only in sons. Eman believes education and expression can transform thinking and give girls like her the power to choose their future.
Eman’s story is a reminder that when a girl is given the chance to learn, she doesn’t just change her own path, she helps reshape the future of her family and community. Your support makes journeys like hers possible, and together, we are helping more girls claim the education, confidence, and opportunities they deserve.
