Changing the world, one girl at a time.
Pakistan’s total literacy rate is a dismal 50%, while only 36% of Pakistani women are literate. Yet we know that when we educate girls, we empower them. And when we empower girls, we can change the world. We built the Sonia Shah School for girls in Kangra, Pakistan, where currently only 3 out of 10 girls ever go to school. We are concurrently working to open a much-needed clinic in the village.
Sonia Shah Organization was founded by Chicago teenager, Sonia Shah, before her tragic and untimely death. Sonia’s dream was to educate the girls and women of her ancestral village of Kangra, Pakistan, seeing firsthand the power of education and just how different her life would have been without it. Sonia’s dream is carried on by her mother, Iram Shah, at the Sonia Shah Memorial School in Kangra, Pakistan, where we educate girls and provide their lunches, uniforms, and basic medical care, run a vocational center for women too old for school, and provide clean drinking water for the entire village. In the last year, we have developed a scholarship program, helping inspirational and deserving women complete their educations in the US. We are a small organization with big dreams, and we hope that you’ll stand with us!
