Why it matters
In Pakistan, a child who loses a parent often loses their place in school too. Older children leave class to earn, and younger ones go without.
Extended families do their best, but many are already stretched.
How we help
- Support named children living with their own relatives, so they can stay in their family and community.
- Cover school fees, books and uniform, and check in on attendance.
- Provide a monthly food allowance for the household.
