Clothes Drive
Government school kids come from diverse set of challenging backgrounds and many a times face severe financial and economic challenges. Similarly, Madrassa students normally come from underprivileged backgrounds and have several unfulfilled fundamental needs. The #YouthClothesDrive2022 aimed to practice collective care and draw attention to the importance of shared responsibility in looking after one’s own community members.
Ashaab-E-Suffah
SFY has been actively engaged in assessing the needs of the different communities that our leaders come from. One such important need several teachers, from Government Schools and a Madrassa, identified was clothing. Where majority of their students come from challenging socio-economic backgrounds, the teachers felt such support will contribute to alleviate other needs outside the classroom. SFY organized 2 #YouthClothesDrive2022 projects, at Ashaab-e-Saffah Madrassa in February 2022, and Government Girls High School Mulyanu Kali in March 2022, for boys and girls, respectively. The projects collectively served 57 female students, and 115 male students, at Govt Girls High School and Ashaab E Saffah Madrassa, respectively. benefited from the project. We are happy to continuously reach out to underprivileged communities in Pakistan. The recipients belonged to different age groups between 12-25 years old.
GGHS School
SFY seeks to foster grassroots organizing that not only institutionalizes indigenous leadership but also provides an opportunity to foster relationships within the larger community. We aim to be inclusive in our model of leadership, and to be firmly connected to our underprivileged communities. Both these projects are the culmination of more than 100 volunteer hours of fundraising, collecting clothing items, and relationship building. SFY seeks to create bonds of mutual communal responsibility and leadership grounded in the community’s own resources. Through projects like these young male and female leaders get an opportunity to build networks that optimize resources already existent in the respective communities.
