In the remote village of Morkhiyar, Union Council Bakhuo, Taluka Mithi, District Tharparkar, lives a 10-year-old girl known for her sharp mind and love for learning. The daughter of a daily wage laborer, she comes from a family of nine, where financial hardship is a constant struggle. Despite these challenges, she stood out among her peers for her intelligence and enthusiasm, earning praise from her teachers who called her a "bright and promising student."

Unfortunately, the burden of poverty became too much to bear. After completing 5th grade, she was forced to drop out of school. For over three months, her absence weighed heavily on her teacher, who lamented the loss of such a gifted student.

During a routine field visit focused on identifying out-of-school and dropout girls, the Social Cooperation Initiative (SCI) team encountered her case. A deeper inquiry and conversations with her family revealed that financial hardship was the main barrier to her continued education. Understanding the urgency, the SCI team organized awareness sessions with her parents, highlighting the long-term benefits of education. They also offered practical support to ease the family's burden, including learning materials, a school bag, books, notebooks, and stationery.

Motivated by the team's commitment and reassured by the assistance provided, her parents agreed to re-enroll her in school. In January 2025, with renewed energy and hope, she resumed her education and successfully completed her 5th-grade studies.

Her efforts did not go unnoticed. Due to her academic commitment and performance, she has now been nominated for continued education through the project's next phase, which partners with Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) to support girls in pursuing matriculation.

Her story is a powerful example of how timely intervention, community engagement, and educational support can rekindle a child’s passion for learning. Her family, once uncertain about the future, now speaks with hope and gratitude for the new path ahead.
