Help Build a Computer Lab for Vulnerable Children at Dhok Mustaqeem School, Rawalpindi

In the heart of Dhok Mustaqeem, Rawalpindi, a modest school stands as a beacon of hope for 250 children including 135 girls, 115 boys, and 15 orphans from some of the most vulnerable communities. Many of these children come from extremely challenging circumstances. They were once child labourers, street children, or undocumented children unable to attend formal schools. In 2019, Islamic Relief Pakistan launched its Protection of Children at Risk initiative to reach children like these.

Through this program, children were enrolled in non-formal basic education schools, provided with school bags, furniture, and upgraded classrooms, and given the opportunity to study in a safe and supportive environment. While the government provides a minimum stipend to help pay the teachers and keep the school running, Islamic Relief has been funding the school since 2019, ensuring that students receive not just basic education, but dignity and care. The orphans attending this school are also sponsored through Islamic Relief programs.

Today, as these children grow older, they need to match the education standards of other schools including learning basic computer and digital literacy skills. To give them an equal chance at higher education and a brighter future, we are taking the next step in supporting their journey.

Our Goal

We are raising funds to establish a modern computer lab at Dhok Mustaqeem School equipped with 10 complete computer systems including Intel Core i5 processors, 8GB RAM, SSD storage, 23 inch LED monitors, keyboards, mice, and essential software such as MS Office and Typing Tutor. The lab will also include sturdy wooden desks and chairs to create a proper learning environment.

What makes this project even more special is that our Inspire Volunteers will personally install the computers during their cohort in January 2026. This hands-on effort ensures that your donations directly transform the school and immediately benefit the children. With this computer lab, all 250 students including 15 orphans will gain access to quality digital education. They will learn vital IT skills, gain confidence in using technology, and prepare themselves for higher studies and future employment. By bridging the digital divide, we can empower these children to dream bigger, achieve more, and step into a brighter future.

What This Fundraiser Will Do

Your donations will directly fund
- 10 computer systems with Intel Core i5 processors, monitors, keyboards, and mouse
- Educational software including MS Office or LibreOffice and Typing Tutor
- Desks and chairs to create a proper computer lab environment
- A safe and welcoming space where children can learn and grow This computer lab will benefit all 250 students for years to come, ensuring that no child is left behind in today’s digital age.

How You Can Help

In an increasingly digital world, access to computers is no longer a luxury, it is a necessity. Unfortunately, the children at Dhok Mustaqeem School currently lack the tools to learn these essential skills. By donating, you are not just funding computers, you are equipping children who were once at risk of child labour or exclusion from school with the tools they need to succeed. Together, we can provide them with the chance to catch up with their peers, continue their education, and break the cycle of poverty.

Inspire Program

Islamic Relief Canada’s Volunteer Abroad Programs are a unique way to contribute to some of IR Canada’s international projects. Before volunteering abroad, selected volunteers to raise funds that go directly to the project they will be assisting with.
While on the field study, volunteers will be part of a collaborative program where they will take part in several activities, including peer-to-peer learning opportunities, food distributions, beneficiary home visits, and building refurbishment.  
This experience allows volunteers to see an existing IR Canada project, contribute to the project through their fundraising efforts, and positively interact with beneficiaries and project staff.

Islamic Relief: Pakistan

Since 1992, Islamic Relief Canada has been supporting vulnerable communities in Pakistan through WASH assistance, health services, the construction of shelters, winterization kits, livelihood development projects, and the distribution of food (including Ramadan and Qurbani programs). Pakistan is home to more than four million orphans. Being a vulnerable population, orphans are more likely to suffer from malnutrition, food insecurity, and physical/mental abuse compared to children living with their parents.
