Location: Harchin Laspur, District Upper Chitral, Pakistan
We the family and friends are excited to announce the establishment of the Baba-e-Laspur Memorial Public Library in Harchin Laspur, a remote region in the mountainous district of Upper Chitral in Pakistan. This library is dedicated to the late Gul Wali Khan Yaftali, affectionately known as Baba-e-Laspur, a passionate philanthropist and advocate for education who made significant contributions to the community.
Our Mission:
The Baba-e-Laspur Memorial Public Library aims to foster a love for reading and bridge the educational gap in our community. We envision a place where knowledge is celebrated, and the rich cultural heritage of Chitral is preserved through oral history.
What We Offer:
- Diverse Book Collection: A wide range of books for all ages and interests.
- Comfortable Reading Spaces: Inviting areas for quiet reading and group learning.
- Computer and Internet Access: Enhancing digital literacy and research.
- Community Programs: Workshops, lectures, and events to promote education and cultural awareness.
- Children’s Corner: A special area with books and activities for young learners.
- Local History Section: Preserving and showcasing Chitral’s cultural heritage.
How You Can Help:
We need your support to complete this project. Our land is secured, and construction is underway, but we need essential equipment to bring our vision to life.
(The library is under construction.)
Your contributions will help us purchase:
- Interactive touch screens
- Audio/Video recording devices
- Library shelves
- Tables and chairs
(We have acquired land and the building is being constructed with self-help.)
Our goal is to raise 750,000 PKR (eq. £ 2128) to make this library a vibrant hub of knowledge and culture for the 17,218 residents and 2,453 households of Harchin Laspur in Upper Chitral region of Pakistan.
