Amazing Pakistani Social Workers
Humaira Bachal
She started dreaming at a very young age - she dreamt something way above her age! To educate the poor.
It takes a lot for a mediocre background girl in slums of Karachi to seek a place to open a school at 15 years of age. She had just completed her matriculation and started on a journey that would inspire many others around the globe and get her global recognition.
Humaira Bachal took up the cause of educating the poor in the rural as well as urban areas of Sindh. Her school "Dream Model Street School" had real humble beginings in 2003 when she was only 17 and in almost a decade it has become globally recognized. It has been featured with appreciation in the Economist as well as other platforms. Here is an article in NPR and another one in Express Tribune recognizing her work.
She has also won Youth Award and Women of Impact Award 2013 for her inspiring struggle. Her struggle also had immense contributions from her sister, Tahira Bachal and their mother.
Her school and Foundation website can be found here along with Foundation's facebook and twitter account
