Education & nutrition · Pakistan
We help children in Pakistan living in poverty get into school and stay there — through tuition, a safe place to learn, and a nourishing meal so they can attend rather than work.
What we do
Poverty pulls children out of school and into work. We address the pressures that matter most — and we do it through a local partner who knows each family.
Funding tuition, learning materials and qualified local teaching, so children can begin and continue their schooling.
Leasing and refurbishing premises through our Pakistan partner — a reliable, safe space children can return to each day.
A nourishing meal during the school day — often the difference that lets learning win over paid work.
Why it matters
In parts of Pakistan, families facing hardship often cannot afford to send every child to school. We focus our help where need is greatest — on children defined by poverty, age and place, never by background.

How your gift works
We are a UK fundraiser and grant-maker. We don't run operations overseas ourselves — we fund a sister organisation in Pakistan that delivers on the ground, under a written agreement with reporting at every stage.
Donations are received and Gift Aid reclaimed where eligible, adding government support to every qualifying gift.
Trustees approve funding to our Pakistan partner against a written budget — never a blank cheque.
They lease and refurbish a learning space, pay a local teacher, and provide meals — paid in stages as work is evidenced.
Spending is checked against invoices and photographs, and we publish how many children were supported.
Gift Aid. If you're a UK taxpayer, we can reclaim 25p for every £1 you give — at no extra cost to you. A £40 gift becomes £50 toward a child's year.
Where we're starting
We'd rather support a few children well than promise more than we can prove. We're beginning with one or two children and growing in steps as funding and reporting stand up.
Each stage only begins once the last is funded, delivered and reported. That keeps the charity's promises matched to its reach.
Our first-year income is modest by design. Gift Aid and a small group of committed supporters get us to that first cohort.
Our approach
A UK home gives donors confidence and unlocks Gift Aid; a Pakistan partner delivers with local knowledge. Each does what it is best placed to do.
Registered in England & Wales as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. It raises funds, claims Gift Aid, and grants money onward under strict controls. It does not buy or hold property abroad.
A sister organisation registers locally, holds the lease in its own name, employs a local teacher, and runs the day-to-day — reporting back on every stage.
Accountability
Sending money overseas to support children carries real responsibility. We've written our safeguards into the charity's own rules, not just its intentions.
✓Larger overseas transfers need a full trustee meeting; refurbishment is paid against invoices and photos, never as a lump sum upfront.
✓The founding board is family. We've committed in our constitution to recruit at least one independent trustee, and to keep that balance under review.
✓Our annual report states how many children were supported and confirms funds were used as agreed.
Questions
Not yet. Our application to register as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation is with the Charity Commission for England & Wales. We will publish our charity number as soon as it is issued, and we cannot accept donations until then.
Every overseas grant is approved against a written budget and paid in stages as work is evidenced by invoices and photographs. Our annual report sets out how funds were spent and how many children were supported.
If you pay UK tax, Gift Aid lets us reclaim 25p from HMRC for every £1 you donate, at no extra cost to you — so your gift goes further.
A sister organisation registered locally in Pakistan. It holds any lease in its own name and employs a local teacher. The UK Fund grants money to it under a written agreement and does not operate directly overseas.
Safeguarding is central to working with children. Our partner follows agreed safeguarding standards, and trustees review them. A full safeguarding policy is being adopted alongside registration.
Your gift funds a child's place to learn and a meal that lets them stay. Once our charity number is issued we'll open secure online giving — for now, register your interest and we'll be in touch the moment we can accept donations.
Online donations open on registration. Gift Aid available to UK taxpayers.
