Fazilia Trust / Education

FTP’s education programme focuses on children at risk while aiming for the education, awareness, better upbringing and their well-being. The organization’s major concern is to reach the marginalized children who deserve an opportunity to make their lives better and have the ability and interest but lack the opportunity. Through this programme, we are not only providing education to the downtrodden, underprivileged and neglected children but are also aiming to improve their living conditions by providing them with opportunities. Education would give them exposure, awareness, access to better job opportunities and would act as a catalyst in class mobilization and better economic conditions.

As nelson Mandela said “Education is the most powerful weapon that you can use to change the world”.

 

 

This programme emphasizes on:

  • Quality and relevance of education as a fundamental element of development.
  • Inclusion of children and communities left out of education process.
  • Equal distribution of rights to every student.

  • As Henri Matisse said “creativity takes courage”. Fazilia firmly believes that extracurricular activities are as much a part of student’s growth as education. FTP ensures that regular team building exercises, creativity workshops and educational trips are carried out for the students of Fazilia Schooling System. FUNKOR Child Art Center has been helping Fazilia in carrying out such events at school level:-Ahmad Imtiaz, a child from a downtrodden and distressed family, studying in class 9th at Fazilia Schooling System participated in the Fifteenth International Festivities of Brass Orchestras Montana 2016 (an international contest for drawing held at Germany 2016). The student was nominated by FUNKOR Child Arts Centre. The Theme of this Art Competition was “World Peace”.
  • FTP believes in enabling the deserving yet deprived children in achieving their goals through education. The main aim of FTP’s extended education Programme is to reach marginalized children who deserve a chance to make their lives better and have the ability and interest but lack the opportunity. FTP in year 2016 constructed a school at village Nakar Makhiala Tehsil Dhirkot AJ&K for the local students who had no access to any educational institute.
