At the Zia Ul Ummah Foundation, we are dedicated to empowering girls through education. Our mission is to provide access to free education for underprivileged girls in Pakistan, with a current enrollment of over 10,000 girls across the country. We believe that education is a right, not a privilege. That’s why we strive to remove financial barriers that prevent girls from attending school. Our schools provide free accommodation and meals to ensure that no girl is left out of school due to financial constraints. We understand that providing a safe, stable, and secure environment for girls is crucial for their education and that’s why we offer these services to families.
In 1990, we established the Ghousia Girls College in Bhera city as a commitment to empower girls through education. Our five-year course provides students with a comprehensive education that includes A-levels, a bachelor’s degree, and Islamic studies. By providing girls with access to a quality education, we are working towards a brighter future for our country.

Girls in Pakistan face a huge range of barriers to education

Sponsor A Female Student
We’ve always championed girls’ education in Pakistan, which is why we have a dedicated programme that supports girls at our schools.
Many of our female graduates go on to become academics, some set up their own schools, and others come back to work for us as headteachers at our institutes.
We’re making a real difference to girls across Pakistan, but it’s only with your continued support that we’ll be able to give them the high-quality education they need.
