Education: the Bridge to a Brighter Future

After nine years as leaders of Starfish Pakistan’s work with Christian young people, it was an adventure of discovery to know God’s direction for our future. In 2021 we opened a chicken farm, and worked towards local sustainable support. It was a viable business, and we will continue to work to see our vision fulfilled. However, in our hearts we sensed that we must also return to serving our own Christian community through education. Kashi obtained her Degree of Master of Philosophy in the Department of Education with a thesis on The Educational Problems, their Causes, and Remedial Measures, based on Christian schools in Youhannabad, Lahore.  The stage was set for our return to service with this proposal:

The 3Es Discipleship: Empowering Early Educators

This is a training programme, developed by Kashi, through which we will be training early educators who lack proper qualifications. The ultimate aim of this initiative is to establish a Discipleship Centre for Educators to fill the gap in the education and training of those teachers and administrators who are unable to attend teacher training institutions or get diplomas. Kashi is back in her element, in the classroom and among teachers eager for her help.

In the first year Starfish Asia will be supporting this new initiative to work alongside teachers in 10 schools that are not currently supported by Starfish Asia. Please give generously.
