Education

Shayan Habib’s Journey of Hope Through Education Shayan Habib comes from the remote and beautiful valley of Passu, a place where towering mountains stand quietly over lives filled with daily struggle. In his area, reaching school is never easy. Schools are far away, roads are difficult, and harsh weather often makes travel exhausting and unsafe. Climate change has made life even harder—floods, land disruptions, and long hours without electricity have become part of everyday reality. For many children here, education often feels like a distant dream. At home, Shayan carries a deep and silent pain. His father is paralyzed and unable to work, leaving the family with no source of income. In a household where disabled parents cannot support the family financially, even the idea of sending children to school once felt impossible. There were moments filled with uncertainty, where hope seemed fragile and the future unclear. Yet Shayan never let go of his dream to continue his education. https://youtu.be/vHYzd5OuON8 With your generous support, children of disabled parents are now being given a real chance to continue their education with dignity. For families struggling with no income, this support has turned hopelessness into opportunity. Today, Shayan’s life has taken a new turn. He has received a scholarship as a gift of hope for his future and has been granted admission to the renowned Al-Amyn Model School in a nearby village. For him, this scholarship is more than financial support – it is a lifeline, a doorway to a future he once feared he might never reach. Every step he takes toward school now carries gratitude, courage, and the quiet strength of a child who refused to give up, even when life gave him every reason to stop.

Aliyan Khan’s Journey of Hope in Karachi Through Subah Sehar, an initiative by Niaz Support, children of disabled parents are being given the opportunity to continue their education and step toward a better future. Among them is Aliyan Khan, a young boy whose life changed after receiving admission to Aga Khan School Karachi, a respected private school where he is now studying in Grade 5. For Aliyan and his family, this was not just admission to a school — it was a moment of hope during one of the hardest times of their lives. Aliyan dreams of becoming a scientist one day and finds happiness in Mathematics, Science, and football, even while carrying the pain of his family’s struggles in his heart. Nearly five years ago, Aliyan’s father became paralyzed and lost his ability to work as a driver. The sudden illness pushed the family into financial hardship, forcing them to spend all their savings on medical treatment before moving to Karachi in search of better healthcare and a chance to survive. As if this suffering was not enough, Aliyan’s mother also became seriously ill and now undergoes dialysis regularly. Watching both parents suffer every day deeply affected Aliyan, yet his parents refused to let their hardships destroy their son’s future. They believed that getting their child into a better private school could change his life forever. During this painful journey, your support became a lifeline for the family. For a child of disabled parents, studying in a private school once felt impossible, but today Aliyan walks into his classroom carrying dreams instead of fear. His story is a reminder that one opportunity, one act of kindness, and one child’s education can truly change an entire family’s life. Share Share Share Share

A Brighter Future for Isra Ali Sometimes, a single opportunity can bring light into a home that has endured years of hardship. In the quiet valley of Booni, Upper Chitral, a young girl carries such hope in her heart. Her name is Isra Ali, and she studies in Class Nine at Oxford School and College Booni. Her father, Niyat Ali, started working in Saudi Arabia in 2004 and built his own hotel business through years of hard work. In 2010, however, a devastating accident severely injured his spine and changed the family’s life forever. His treatment consumed everything he had worked so hard to save, and he eventually returned to Booni with a permanent disability. Yet even during the family’s most difficult moments, their hope for Isra’s future remained alive. For the past fifteen years, Isra’s mother, Hajra, has faced every challenge with patience, courage, and an unwavering commitment to her daughter’s education. Isra has honoured her mother’s sacrifices by holding firmly to her dreams. She loves reading and writing and enjoys playing football and badminton, but her greatest ambition is to pass the CSS examination and become a Deputy Commissioner. She hopes to serve her community, support her parents, ease the struggles they have carried for so long, and make her school proud. Receiving the scholarship opened a promising new chapter in Isra’s educational journey, allowing her to pursue her studies with greater confidence, happiness, and hope for the future. https://youtu.be/5N3ow_FqQiQ The generous sponsor’s scholarship has enabled Isra to continue her education and focus on the future she is working hard to build. Isra and her family sincerely appreciate this support and pray that Allah blesses the sponsor with happiness, good health, and abundant rewards. Niaz Support helped connect Isra with the sponsor supporting her education. Share Share Share Share

Hope After the Storm: Ilma Nur’s Journey of Strength and Dreams “My name is Ilma Nur. I am in Grade 3, and I want to become a doctor.” There was quiet strength in her voice, but behind that dream was a story shaped by loss, resilience, and hope. Ilma’s father lost his leg during the devastating floods and landslides in Pakistan’s northern areas while helping his community restore damaged water channels. What began as an effort to rebuild lives turned into a tragedy that changed his own forever. Since that day, he has been unable to work, leaving the family to navigate an uncertain future. Yet, in the middle of hardship, one thing never changed, Ilma’s determination. She continued to study with focus, consistently achieving top grades. Beyond academics, she is full of life, she loves playing badminton, enjoys dancing, and carries a spirit that refuses to be defined by circumstances.

But beyond books and classrooms, this support brings something deeper, confidence, continuity, and the belief that her future is still within reach. For Ilma, this is not just about going to school. It is about becoming who she dreams to be. Despite everything her family has endured, her goal remains clear, she wants to become a doctor. And now, with the right support behind her, that dream is no longer distant. It is real. It is possible. It is already in motion. Share Share Share Share

A Mother’s Strength, A Son’s Future: Shehzada Wildan’s Journey “My name is Shehzada Wildan. I am a student of Class 6 at Frontier Corps Public School, Chitral.” On the football field, he runs with energy and confidence, chasing the ball with the same determination he brings to his studies. Between books and play, Shehzada is learning something far greater than lessons, he is learning discipline, resilience, and belief in himself. But his strongest support waits for him at home. Sitting beside his mother, Fauzia Bibi, he reads aloud from his book, carefully writing notes as she listens and guides him. It is a quiet moment, yet full of meaning, a reminder that education is not just learned in classrooms, but nurtured at home. Fauzia Bibi’s journey has not been easy. After an accident during the COVID-19 pandemic, she lost mobility in her legs and has since been using a wheelchair. Yet, even through her own challenges, her focus never shifted from one thing, her children’s future. https://youtu.be/wBlsTfdoc3g “I am very happy for this scholarship,” she shares with gratitude. “For parents like us, this support brings hope.

For Shehzada, this support means more than just going to school. It means walking forward with confidence. Every morning, his mother prepares him for the day, adjusting his uniform, fixing his tie, and sending him off with love, all while seated in her wheelchair. Nearby, his father carefully polishes his shoes, a quiet act of care that speaks louder than words. Shehzada wears them, stands tall, and steps out toward his future. Because sometimes, strength is not just about standing, it is about rising, together. Share Share Share Share
