A lot is being done on the religious front, but very little on issues related to education and socio-economic development and growth of Muslims.Aaghaz Foundation is a movement or collection of community resources to eradicate this problem.

Sponsors Needed for 40 New Cases

Aaghaz team has identified and surveyed the cases of 40 new school children. They are currently studying in Wisdom Public School, Madheyganj, Khadra. This morning 10 Aaghaz members conducted the interviews with the parents of these school children (which were organised by the school officials). The conditions of the families of these children needless to say were not that better as previously seen and felt by our Aaghaz team; driven by poverty (mostly due to lack of education and any specialized skills) they can barely feed their children - forget about sending them to school (which is their least to say last priority). Aaghaz members were very much moved to see how these "small time" schools in the neighbourhoods were doing excellent jobs in at least promoting awareness about "education within the community".

The fee per child in this school is Rs. 75/- per month, and there are 40 children. Hence total fee per month is Rs. 3,000/-. We need help from all our members in making sure that all these children go to school this year and years to come. They are our future community representation for the world to see. Sponsors can contribute partly also in this case as the amount of school fees is substantial i.e. sponsor can adopt 5 child or 10 child or so.
