Who We Teach
Our children came to us from homes where the parents were not educated. Typically, they would leave their children at home and look for manual labor to earn menial wages. Their children would roam around all day on the streets or in rubbish dumps, looking for something they can use or sell.
Qalam school was opened at the outskirts of a small subdivision of Rawalpindi known as Gulistan Colony, situated behind the famous Ayub Park, off the Grand Trunk road. This area was chosen due to the presence of shack-type dwellings in the vicinity, expecting to take in children from those and neighboring communities. Within the 48 hours of opening the school we were flooded with admissions.Many of the students coming to us have never attended school before.
Now our students love their school, and here’s why
- They are treated with respect.
- They have a bright and cheerful environment
- They have a clean and secure place to spend their day
- They are making new friends
- They are playing together
- They get love and attention from kind teachers
