Pakistan Sweet Home (PSH) provides a life-changing opportunity for orphaned children from across Pakistan. Our boarding school program, starting from Nursery to 7th grade, aims to deliver excellent educational opportunities within a caring and supportive atmosphere. Every child's experience with us showcases the transformative impact of education and compassion on their future. Admissions open annually in February.
Admission to the PSH boarding school includes a detailed merit-based process. Applicants are required to apply online and pass an entrance test to ensure they meet the school's specific criteria. When children get enrolled, they become members of our Sweet Home family. We provide them with a comprehensive package that includes health, clothing, food, and all essential needs of a child with free education.
In these financially challenging times, many families in low and middle-income brackets find it difficult to afford quality education in private schools. Our goal has consistently been to offer top-notch educational opportunities to our children rather than merely providing basic necessities.
Through this program, we ensure that our children receive a standard education and can compete globally as they progress. That's why we've partnered with two renowned private schools in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, Siddique Public School and Divisional Public School, where our children are enrolled.
To facilitate our children, we've dedicated staff, including supervisors, drivers, and school vans, for their transportation to and from schools. We take full responsibility for our children while they are outside of campus.
Pakistan Sweet Home provides a range of facilities to ensure our children have a comfortable and healthy environment to grow up in. These include nutritious meals, sports and recreational activities, clothing, accommodation in well-furnished hostels, and 24/7 medical and health services. Our dedicated wardens and supervisors stay with our children full-time to offer care and protection.
We receive numerous applications for admission, but due to limited capacity and resources, we can only accept a certain number of students each year. We're continuously striving to expand our facilities and require your support to accommodate every orphan in Pakistan. In cases where a child leaves the school for any reason, we offer their seat to other deserving children who passed the entrance test but couldn't enroll due to our space limitations.
After the children join our program, we focus primarily on their personal development. At the same time, we understand how important it is for them to stay in touch with their mothers and guardians. That's why we arrange on-campus visits, allowing mothers and guardians to come and meet their kids at specific times. Plus, every other week, we allow each child to make a phone call to their home.
According to the administration, “The most challenging aspect we encounter each year is settling the children within our campus. Coming from diverse backgrounds, many have experienced trauma, and it's crucial for us to reassure them that they are now in a safe environment. During the initial months, we ensure each child has regular sessions with our dedicated psychologists for healing and to help them move forward in life.”
One mother shared her experience with us, expressing, “Being separated from my son is incredibly difficult, but I can't provide him with the facilities that Pakistan Sweet Home offers, especially after my husband's passing.
Without this opportunity, his future would have been ruined, as where I come from, education isn't prioritized, and resources are limited. Mr. Zamurrad Khan has been like an angel to families like ours. I can never repay him, but I will pray for him for the rest of my life.”
With our current resources, we are trying to do everything we can to provide the best facilities for orphaned children. However, the need is much greater. We're eager to expand our capacity to provide more opportunities. Your support through volunteering or donations is crucial in helping us reach more kids and give them a brighter future. Every contribution counts and can make a significant difference in a child's life!
