Our mission is to provide education to kids in Pakistan
No child should face barriers to education. Our non-profit organization strives to provide access to necessary equipment, and accelerate funding for sufficient school spaces.
Celebrating Diversity and Unity
At Abraham Tech Foundation, we believe that education is not only about academics but also about nurturing well-rounded individuals who appreciate and celebrate their cultural and historical heritage. By celebrating key national and religious days with our students and their parents, we aim to instill a sense of pride, unity, and respect for diversity.
Why We Celebrate These Days
1. Promoting Cultural Awareness:
Celebrating national and religious holidays helps our students learn about the rich cultural tapestry of Pakistan. Events like Independence Day, Defence Day, and Iqbal Day offer students a deeper understanding of their country’s history and the sacrifices made by those who came before them. This awareness fosters a sense of identity and belonging.
2. Encouraging Family and Community Engagement:
Involving parents in these celebrations strengthens the school community and encourages family participation in the educational process. When parents join in these activities, it creates a supportive environment where students feel valued and motivated.
3. Fostering Inclusivity and Respect:
By observing various religious festivals, such as Eid-ul-Fitr, Eid-ul-Adha, and Ashura, we teach our students the importance of religious tolerance and respect for others' beliefs. This inclusivity is crucial in a diverse society and helps build harmonious relationships among students of different backgrounds.
4. Enhancing Learning Through Experience:
Interactive celebrations provide a practical and engaging way for students to learn about significant events and figures in Pakistani history. Activities such as reenactments, storytelling, and cultural performances make learning enjoyable and memorable.
Impact of Celebrating These Days
1. Strengthened Cultural Identity:
Students develop a stronger sense of cultural identity and pride in their heritage. This pride can boost their self-esteem and confidence, encouraging them to contribute positively to society.
2. Improved Social Skills:
Participating in group activities and events enhances students' social skills, including teamwork, communication, and empathy. These skills are essential for personal and professional success in the future.
3. Stronger School-Home Connection:
When parents are involved in school celebrations, it reinforces the connection between home and school. This partnership supports student learning and development, as parents become more engaged in their children's education.
4. Broadened Worldview:
Exposure to different cultural and religious practices broadens students' perspectives, helping them become more open-minded and accepting of diversity. This global outlook is increasingly important in today's interconnected world.
5. Community Building:
Celebrating together fosters a sense of community within the school. Students, teachers, and parents all feel a part of something bigger, creating a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.
Projects we are focusing on
New schools
Teacher qualifications
Stand for Children commits itself to helping students receive a quality education regardless of socioeconomic status, race, or geographic location. The organization engages parents to actively support their children’s education.
At schools, teachers are change makers. So, what happens to student learning when only one in six teachers in a district has proper training? Adequate funding can help teachers develop the skills needed to make a difference.
