WHY EDUCATION?

Because education
ignites hope.

Education creates opportunity where opportunity is scarce.

“Because of Shining Light, I have been going to school now for four years. Before, I was just at home… Now I dream of becoming a doctor.”

— Gujjar girl – receiving an education for the first time.

HOPE STARTS HERE

Why Pakistan?

26.2 million Pakistani children are not in school with little hope for the future. Shining Light works with the most underserved and isolated communities where few are willing to go. The need for transformation, and opportunity is vital in Pakistan—but education has the power to ignite hope and lasting change.

Through the help of generous supporters, Shining Light has made lasting impacts such as:
  • 200 girls educated for the first time in the history of their communities.
  • 1,884 families impacted annually through Shining Light programs.
  • 30 Women's Vocational Training Centers established.

”We constantly recommend that people get involved with SLI because their support will truly ‘hit the pavement’. The funds don’t simply support the organization, they support real people. When you give to SLI, your money directly impacts classrooms with small children, buildings that empower women, and makes the dreams of men and women in Pakistan a reality.
