What is Co-Funding?

Lack of basic facilities in government owned schools in Pakistan is one of the major causes of high dropout in schools at primary level. This has especially afflicted the girl’s education ratio. This includes some beyond the capacity of social sectors like missing boundary walls, lack of classrooms, missing toilets and washrooms, but some can be addressed with little contribution like clean drinking water, electricity supply during summers. Each pledge received of £430 provided a water cooler and filter, a solar panel and benches and chairs.
