Fifteen year old Halima Sheikh dropped out of school due to financial constraints and started working as a domestic worker in a family. She was accused of theft put in a juvenile observation home. Once she was discharged from there, social workers from Sahaara Charitable Society visited her home and met her family. Due to the stigma attached to being in an observation home, Halima was unwilling to continue her studies. However after counsel to Halima, she agreed to continue her studies. She is currently enrolled in grade 10, and after graduating from school is looking forward to pursuing higher studies in junior college!

Thank you for meeting all Halima’s educational expenses, to enable her to continue going to school.
