Backpacks Of Hope

"Every child deserves a bag full of dreams."

Who Are We?

We’re Ishika, Priansh from SBS and Yahvi from Indian Academy , three siblings in the UAE. This summer, we chose to use our time not just to learn, but to give back. Through the TCF Summer Program, we joined hands with The Citizens Foundation UAE to raise funds for children in Pakistan who dream of going to school, just like we do every day!

Why This Campaign?

What if your small gift could carry someone’s entire future? Where we see a simple school bag, they see a symbol of belonging. And for many children, that first step toward school still feels miles away Backpacks of Hope is our way of filling those dreams. 

One Bag, One Book, One Bright Future.

Through your generous support and our partnership with The Citizens Foundation (TCF) UAE, we will help ensure that children not only go to school, but stay, learn, and thrive.

Our goal!

We are raising funds to support as many children as possible in rural and underserved communities across Pakistan. Your donation will help provide:

- Quality education through purpose-built schools

-Equal access for girls

- A future filled with possibility
