Without education a girl child faces a life of ignorance and drudgery.

Her childhood and youth are spent doing chores around the house: washing dishes, collecting water, making bread and minding her younger brothers and sisters. By sixteen she marries a man chosen by her family….. by age twenty has more than two children and the cycle repeats itself.

But it was different for Murium. By the time she was four, Agahi had built a school in her village and with it came education and opportunity. That was in 1997. Last year she has graduated and became a teacher in the same school she had studied. She has proven to be one of Agahi’s best teachers.

With education comes confidence and opportunity.

This is Agahi's mission: To bring quality education and the resulting opportunities to Maneshra, NWFP, Pakistan.
