How would you choose a school for your daughter?
Unfortunately there are people in the world who are not able to choose a school for their daughter, not because they are not in the right catchment area but because they have to make a choice between eating and educating their child. Here at Schools4Change we aim to provide free world-class education that really broadens the horizons of girls who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to learn and develop into bright young global citizens of the future.
Our targets are to improve: Access to education
Sometimes schools are miles away. Where they do exist they are costly and with no provision for girls.
Quality of education
The quality of education in some schools can be poor and Schools4Change want to proivde an education that is expertly delivered and recognised for its content and transferability world wide.
Mind set
We want to expand the mindsets of communities and allow girls to see that they have freedom, choice, greater potential and with that they can create their own opportunities and take decisive actions around that.

What will happen without Schools4Change? Case study #1
Sirat’s Mother explained that it was pointless educating her daughter as she was already betrothed to her cousin and she would be his responsibility.
Case study #2
This is Humayra, she lives a rural town. Humayra is 8 years old. When asked about how she felt about not being able to go to school, she described that she would love to learn. Humayra as with many other young girls in Kashmir will be married soon. She described that her Father would not let her go to school so that she is not morally corrupted, and will have an advantage as a potential bride.

About S4C Within 3 years Schools4Change will build schools providing education, promoting gender equality and empowering children with life changing skills and knowledge. Name: Aamna Khokhar Role: Founder Qualifications: BSc PGCE MSc Why S4C:
We are very fortunate, in countless ways and it’s simply time to give back and facilitate others having the same privileges we have been blessed with. In the day and age we live in there is no excuse for prejudice, oppression, poverty and suffering and it’s not the responsibility of anyone out there, it’s ours. I’ve been teaching for over a decade and I see the impact of a good education, I believe that each child out there has a right to this gift. So we build schools and centres, we start here, and we start with girls so that change can come sooner rather than later.
