Education is one of the most powerful tools to break the cycle of poverty. Yet for millions of children around the world, access to even basic schooling remains out of reach due to poverty, conflict, and lack of resources.
Children’s Aid’s Education Support Programme helps remove financial barriers that prevent children from attending school. We provide support for school fees, uniforms, books, stationery, and essential learning materials, ensuring education is accessible to children from disadvantaged families.
Every child has the right to education — yet illiteracy rates in developing countries remain alarmingly high.
Across the world, many children fail to meet minimum standards in reading and mathematics, and one in five children aged six to seventeen is currently out of school.
This crisis is particularly severe in Central Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, where poverty, lack of schools and teachers, and insecurity force children to abandon education and grow up far too quickly.
2025, Children’s Aid launched Brains Pre-School, a dedicated education initiative in Pakistan focused on supporting needy and Zakat-eligible children.
The majority of children enrolled are Zakat-eligible, ensuring that Zakat donations are used in full compliance with Islamic guidelines.
Brains Pre-School is more than a classroom — it is a safe, nurturing environment where children from disadvantaged backgrounds can learn, grow, and dream without financial barriers.
For just £200, you can sponsor a child’s full year of education and help them learn, grow, and build a brighter future.
Your sponsorship covers everything a child needs to stay in school with dignity and confidence.
