Pithoro School Project

• Pithoro is a small rural town in the parish of Khipro, in the diocese of Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan. • For many years our MHM’s have worked among the gravely-marginalised tribal people of this area. • Pithoro has one of 20 schools begun by our missionaries in Khipro parish. • There is a small community of Christians living near the school, but most of the children are from the oppressed Hindu indigenous communities. • We are particularly anxious that parents send their girls to school. • The three teachers somehow have to manage the classes from Nursery to year 8 by coping with a multi-grade teaching Methodology. • With over 200 children there is a desperate need for a fourth teacher and for more classroom-space. • There is no help from Government. • The parents are the poorest in Sindhi society; working for big landowners as share-croppers, or labourers who receive meagre wages. • We depend completely on our kind donors to pay the teachers a monthly stipend, and keep our schools in good repair. • We need your support if we are to continue to offer this service – the key to a better future, and for many, especially girls, the only opportunity of an education. • Already many who have benefited from this basic education have achieved a vast improvement in their living conditions – from living in primitive huts to brick one-roomed houses with a toiletbathroom, and to an improved diet. • The girls especially are the best agents of change.

SO, PLEASE SUPPORT OUR PRIZE DRAW FOR 2022 AND HELP BRING ABOUT CHANGE!
