The Boarding Student program is a full residential sponsorship run by Pakistan Sweet Home. It supports orphan children who have lost their father and have no family home to return to.

These children live at a Pakistan Sweet Home campus full time. PSH provides everything: housing, food, clothing, education and healthcare. Your monthly sponsorship of $99 covers this in full.

Unlike the Papa Jani Scholarship Program, this is not a fees-only arrangement. Boarding students depend on PSH for their entire upbringing, not just their education.

Your $99 a month covers a child's complete residential life at Pakistan Sweet Home, including accommodation, three meals a day, tuition, books and uniforms, and routine medical care.

As with the Papa Jani program, a portion of your contribution supports the administrative and outreach costs that keep Pakistan Sweet Home running. The majority goes directly toward this child's care.

Yes. Boarding students reside on campus year round rather than returning to a family home after school. This is what distinguishes them from Day Scholars and from Papa Jani Scholars, both of whom live at home.

Boarding students go through the same rigorous selection process used across Pakistan Sweet Home:

• Verified loss of father and Pakistani citizenship
• No viable family home or guardian able to provide for the child
• Assessment of financial need
• Panel interview with the child and any surviving family

Dormitories, classrooms, a dining hall, an on-site health clinic, and recreational spaces are all part of daily campus life for boarding students.
