Swat Students Back to School

The Recent disturbances in Swat have damaged around 400 schools and affected a lot of students' education,especially girls.Families are now struck in financial problems all over. However the students, despite the trauma, are high spirited and all set to go Back to School.

Government and non governmental organizations are stepping forward to help fulfill these little angels' dreams. One such NGO, with the help of governments' Sarhad Rural Support Program, has taken the initiative and started providing the 'flood and military operation' -affected students with scholarships in order that they continue with their education.

“This is a really big moment for me after the nightmarish years of militancy when our schools were destroyed. I wish to stand on my own feet after completing my studies because my father is dead. I want to show that girls can modestly earn a livelihood for their family. A respected life is everyone’s dream and this scholarship will make my dream come true.” ,

tells Alia, a student from Amankot.
