How Ehsaas Trust Scholarships Are Empowering Underprivileged Students

Education is not a luxury. It is a basic right. But for many children across Pakistan, the right to education is a distant dream. The reason? Poverty.

Many bright students in Pakistan, full of potential, cannot afford to attend school. Imagine their dreams fading because their family cannot afford a uniform, books, or even the bus fare. Sadly, this is the reality for countless young minds in Pakistan.

Ehsaas Trust Scholarship Program is an initiative by Ehsaas Trust to support underprivileged students.

The Power of Education

Education is the door to unlimited golden opportunities. It opens the way to reliable jobs. It improves the quality of life for families. However, several underprivileged students don’t get the chance to receive an education.

According to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, over 22.8 million children are out of school. Many of them come from low-income families. These are children who have big dreams of becoming doctors, engineers, teachers, and more. But their families do not have the means to make those dreams come true.

Ehsaas Trust believes that no child should be left behind simply because of financial hardship. That is why we started the Ehsaas Scholarship Programme.

What is the Ehsaas Scholarship Programme?

The Ehsaas Trust Scholarship Programme focuses on providing financial assistance to students who want to study but don’t have the resources. Our goal is to remove financial barriers so students can focus on their education without stress.

Each scholarship includes:

  • Tuition support
  • Books and school supplies
  • Uniforms
  • Transport allowances
  • Support for hostel or living costs (where needed)

The Ehsaas Trust scholarship programme ensures that students can grow in their educational fields without worries.

Meet the Students We Help

Let us introduce you to Aamir. Aamir is the son of a daily wage worker in Rawalpindi. Despite his family’s struggles, Aamir always topped his class. But when his father lost his job, Aamir was on the verge of dropping out.

With the help of Ehsaas Trust, Aamir received a full scholarship. Today, he is studying computer science and dreams of becoming a software engineer. His story is one of many.

Behind every scholarship, there is a student like Aamir. A child with a dream. A future worth fighting for.

Why Scholarships Matter

Education is the best way to break the cycle of poverty. When you educate a child, you empower an entire family. An educated child can support his family. He becomes a strong support system not only for his loved ones but for the community as well.

But education needs support.

Many families in Pakistan have to choose between feeding their children and sending them to school. Your donation can take that burden off their shoulders.

How You Can Help

Your donation can make a real difference. Here’s how your contribution helps in our scholarship for underprivileged students programme

  • Provision of books and stationery.
  • Bearing the school fees of the students
  • Support for a child’s full educational needs for a month
  • Your donations can even sponsor an entire year of school for one student

Student Sponsorship  from £250

Full Scholarship from £1,500.

Every pound counts. With your support, Ehsaas Trust ensures that no child has to leave their education behind.

Where We Work

Ehsaas Trust Education Programme provides scholarships across urban and rural Pakistan. We focus on areas where poverty rates are high and access to quality education is low.

We partner with local schools, colleges, and universities to ensure funds are used responsibly and transparently.

We also work closely with community leaders to look for deserving students. This ensures that help reaches those who truly need it.

Transparency and Accountability

At Ehsaas Trust, we value your trust. That’s why we maintain complete transparency in how your donations are used.

Every donation is tracked and allocated specifically for its intended purpose. We provide regular updates to our donors, including impact stories, photos, and reports.

You will always know where your money is going and how it is making a difference.

The Ripple Effect

When you sponsor a child’s education, you do more than support one student. You create a ripple effect.

Educated children are more likely to educate their siblings. Your support goes far beyond the classroom. It helps build a stronger, more compassionate society.

Why Donate to Ehsaas Trust?

Ehsaas Trust is a UK-registered charity committed to supporting the most vulnerable across Pakistan.

Our education projects are Zakat-eligible, meaning your donations can be made with both intention and impact.

Whether you give Zakat, Sadaqah, or a general donation, you can be sure your generosity will bring light into a child’s life.

We have already provided financial aid for education to  thousands of children, and with your support, we can reach thousands more.

What Islam Says About Helping the Needy

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “Protect yourself from hell-fire even by giving a piece of date as charity.”

— Sahih al-Bukhari, 1417

Another Hadith states: “One who helps a fellow Muslim in removing his difficulty in this world, Allah will remove the former’s distress on the Day of Judgement. ” (Muslim)

Giving towards a student’s education is one of the most rewarding forms of charity. It is a gift that continues to benefit the child throughout their life, and even beyond, through the good they will do.

Education is Hope. Be a Part of It.

Right now, somewhere in Pakistan, a child is dreaming of a better life. But they need your help to get there.

By supporting Ehsaas Trust’s initiative for scholarship, you give them a chance to write a new story; a story of hope, learning, and success.

Will you be the reason a child stays in school this year?
