Every morning, classroom doors open in Laliyani, Pakistan.
Some seats fill quickly. Others remain empty.
Not because children don't want to learn. Not because they lack ability. But because their families face impossible mathematics: rent or textbooks. Food or school fees. Survival today or education for tomorrow.
For Christian families in Pakistan earning $70-90 monthly, "free" public education costs more than they can afford.
The reality behind "free" schooling:
School uniforms: $9-11 (required for attendance)
Textbooks: $5-7 per child annually
Supplies: $3-5 (notebooks, pens, pencils)
Shoes: $4-5 (children cannot attend barefoot)
Exam fees: $3 per testing period
Transportation: $2-4 monthly (if school isn't walking distance)
Total: $25-35 per child annually — just for basics.
For families with multiple children, this becomes $100-150 annually. An impossible amount when monthly income barely covers rent and food.
Why Christian children specifically need support:
Christian families in Pakistan represent a religious minority facing unique barriers to educational access. While Pakistan has robust charitable systems including Zakat (Islamic charitable giving mandated by religious law), religious eligibility requirements mean Christian families have limited access to these traditional funding sources.
This creates a critical gap where talented children lose educational opportunities not because of ability, but because of circumstance and religious background.
MinorCare Foundation specifically addresses this gap.
Who we are:
MinorCare Foundation is a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN: 99-3322035) operating three schools in Laliyani, Kasur, Punjab, Pakistan. We currently serve 200+ Christian students from nursery through Class 7.
What we provide:
- Complete school uniforms (dignity and belonging)
- All required textbooks for every subject
- School bags, notebooks, pens, pencils, supplies
- Pairs of shoes (protecting health, enabling attendance)
- Full coverage of tuition and examination fees
We remove every financial barrier preventing children from attending school.
The problem: Hundreds more children are waiting.
Our three school buildings serve 200+ students. But we receive applications from hundreds of additional families every year — parents who work exhausting hours for modest wages, who desperately want education for their children, who simply cannot afford the costs.
Children who could excel academically. Families willing to prioritize education. Communities ready to invest in their children's futures.
They just need the financial barriers removed.

The mathematics of poverty are brutal.
Families earning $80 monthly cannot afford $120 annually for education — no matter how much they want it, no matter how hard they work, no matter how talented their children are.
But the mathematics of generosity are simple:
Enough people giving $10, $25, $50, or $120 removes financial barriers for dozens of children. Your contribution — whatever amount you can give — changes the equation from impossible to achievable.
Right now, empty desks wait in our classrooms.
Children wait outside gates, hoping this year their families can afford enrolment.
Parents work exhausting hours, calculating and recalculating budgets that never balance.
Teachers prepare lessons for students who may never arrive.
You can change that.
Your donation today fills an empty desk. Your generosity removes an impossible barrier. Your compassion proves to a family that education remains possible despite poverty.
Please donate and share this campaign.
Together, we can reach $5,000 — enough to support 40+ students for an entire academic year. Enough to transform empty desks into filled classrooms. Enough to prove that in the mathematics of generosity, small amounts from many people create life-changing impact.
Every donation matters. Every share helps. Every dollar counts.
