A Message from Engineer Ghulam Nabi Korai, the Philanthropist
Help us Buy a School Building, Give Pupil a Roof
—Help Own-One School!
Own-One School in Dadu, Sindh, Pakistan, is a beacon of hope for underprivileged children. Since October 15, 2020, we’ve been facilitating free quality education to children who might otherwise end up in child labor.
The school, founded by Engineer Ghulam Nabi Korai and his volunteer team, was named to encourage volunteers to sponsor one pupil. We started with Grade 1 and now serve 195 students up to Grade 5, with plans to expand all the way to Grade 10. But as our dreams grow, so do our challenges.
A Critical Challenge—Students Studying Under the Open Sky
Our school currently operates in a small, overcrowded rented house, where tiny rooms have been converted into classrooms. With enrollment increasing every year, we’ve run out of space.
Now, fifth-grade students are forced to study under the open sky, exposed to scorching heatwave, freezing cold, dust, storm, and rain, while younger children cram into the few indoor spaces available.
This isn’t just about comfort—it’s about giving these students a safe, nurturing environment to learn and dream about their education and future.
The Solution—A Permanent School Building
We have identified two schoolbuildings that are perfect for our needs—with spacious classrooms, essential amenities, and room to grow. The cost to purchase one of these buildings is $300,000—but we can’t do it alone.
We desperately need your timely support. The building may not stay on the market for long. Time is of the essence!
This is our once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure a real home for our students—a place where they can learn, grow, and thrive.
We Can Change Their Future!
Our donation will provide:
✅ A safe, comfortable learning space
✅ Protection from harsh and unpleasant different weathers
✅ Room to grow to Grade 10, including a School and a Computer Center
Every dollar ensures no child has to study under the sun again.
Every Dollar contribution Counts—Changes Student’s Future
No donation is too small. Whether you can give $10, $100, or $1,000, your generosity directly impacts these students' lives.
Soomro Foundation is organizing this fundraiser and Saharo Foundation volunteers to collect donations and disburse.
Our Vision: A Brighter Future for Every Child
We started with a dream—to provide education to those who need it most. Today, that dream lives on in the 195 students who call Own-One School their second home.
Without education, girls would be confined to illiteracy at home, boys would be lost to the streets or exploited in grueling child labor, and countless futures would be wasted in despair.
With your help, we’ll expand to Grade 10, empowering these children to break the cycle of poverty and build a better future.
