EDUCATIONAL PROJECT OF CAP.
Where about three hundred poor and deserving students are getting free but quality education to which they were denied in other commercial schools and finally were compelled to do bonded labour as this is a great trend in poor communities of the country to do bonded labour to survive. But this is another issue for which we believe there is need to educate children. CAP targets these poor children irrespective of religion, colour, cast, creed and gender. This center is situated at Youhannabad, Lahore .
This programme was started in 1999 in a single rented room and in the year 2004,we had building of five rooms and now by His Grace we have seven rooms to accommodate more than 100 students starting from class 6 th to 10 th . In the month of January we started the junior branch of CAP-School and enrol about 200 students. All these students come from very poor background.Mostly they are the children of ailing,widows,siblings of working women and poverty ridden familes.Due the large family size,people are unable to educate their children.They thought it better to send their children to workshops and brick kilns to earn for the family.So, child labour is one of the major issues of this world.CAP is helping these target communities to bring change in the lives of these vulnerable children.So, it was felt deeply to start a junior school.Now we are shifting the project in a big building being rented for this purpose.We need support from interested friends and donors to run the project.
COMMUNITY GIRLS COLLEGE .
The programme was started in September 2005 and batch of 15 girls was taken. It was observed that girls of the area were facing problems of transportation and heavy fee of other colleges. So, many could not fulfill their desire to attend college to achieve their goals. Firstly very few girls reach this level to attend college and then it becomes difficult for them to pay admission fee and monthly dues of colleges, which is in thousands. Secondly, it is very difficult for girls to travel daily for 30 to 50 kilometers a day. CAP decided to facilitate girls of the area who were interested to further their education and started girls college in the area. High credentialed, high profiled faculty has been employed to teach. Presently ARTS group is being offered with subjects English, Urdu, Islamic Studies, Pak.Studies, Education, Civics and Punjabi. In future we plan to take 30 students in a session.
