Achievements

As of September 2016:There are 14 home schools in operation educating about 340 children, while the mobile school with 4 shifts a day educates another 160 children. A total of 500 children are being educated daily.200 students from the home and mobile schools were admitted in government schools in 2016 and have become a part of the student sponsorship program. Counting the students already in this program from previous years, there are a total of 722 students in this program receiving books and uniforms. All this is done without any overhead expenses. CEDF has no office, no phone and no office staff. Volunteers work out of their own homes and the entire donation received is used for the education of the needy child. CEDF ensures that at least 50 percent of the total students are girls. So for a mere Rs.3,500 a child receives instructions for an entire year. Strict accounting and documentation is maintained of all CEDF expenses. Accounts are audited by Raza Siddiqui & Co. Chartered Accountant, Chartered Accountants and are available for scrutiny
Expression.I am a Bolachi girl from Kachi Abadi, who would not have received any education if it was not for the CEDF program. While teaching at a CEDF Home School, I finished high school (Matriculation) privately.I have also graduated with degree of B.COM. from a women’s college. CEDF has supported me all the way, paying for my books, Uniforms, and tuition. Education for women is particularly important as it empowers us to break the cycle of poverty and have a voice in our future
