EDUCATE A GIRL - EDUCATE A NATION

According to the UNICEF statistics, the adult Literacy Rate in the Indus Region is 54.9% - one of the lowest in the world. The situation for women in the region is even worse. Education remains a big challenge for women because of various reasons; weakness of the government schooling system, poverty and most of all gender discrimination. Women are often confined to their house management role, education becoming a wasted effort.

IVRSP team believes that stay-at-home women in poor neighborhoods are still the strongest knowledge medium for the children they raise, to the future generation. Hence, for each batch of roses sold, we donate a part our revenue to the AMAN School that promotes girls education in the Indus Region.

Currently the school operates on two shifts daily in two class rooms where kids from all ages learn how to read, count, and write. They are not only taught history, science & english but also basic hygiene, tolerance, & respect. Without this initiative, the girls in the Indus Region would have never gone to school.

NEVER TAKE EDUCATION FOR GRANTED
