Chak 96 R/B School
The school sits in the middle of the village and serves families living in very difficult circumstances. Close to 150 pupils study there.
Transforming lives through education and compassion
As long as poverty, injustice and inequality persist, none of us can truly rest. We run schools in Pakistan and the Philippines for children who would otherwise have no access to education.
Our mission
Every moment counts
To love your neighbour as yourself — regardless of location, nationality or faith.
Nordic Children's Aid is built on the Christian principle of loving your neighbour as yourself, and regards anyone whose needs we are able to meet as our neighbour — regardless of location, nationality or faith.

What we focus on
This is how we change lives
Education
We establish and run schools in developing countries so that children living in poverty receive an education they would otherwise have no access to.
A home for children
We run homes for street children and orphans, where every child has their own bed, three meals a day and access to medical care.
Vocational training
We work against poverty by creating opportunities for vocational training that lead to employment and independence.
Equality for girls
We work against the oppression of and discrimination against girls, securing them the same access to education and safety as boys.
Our schools
Seven schools, two countries
We run five day schools and one boarding school in Pakistan, alongside a school in the Philippines.
Gujranwala School
In one of Pakistan's largest cities, the school serves around 200 children from communities where most families live below the poverty line.
Jaranwala School
Built with funds raised by the teachers, staff and students of Borgarholtsskóli in Iceland, the school serves several villages on the edge of the city.
Peshawar School
Standing in the middle of the community it serves, the school removes the travel costs and safety worries that once kept children out of education.
Machike Boarding School
A home for the children who need one most: their own bed, three meals a day, medical care and a formal education.
Farooqabad School
Close to 200 children study in grades 1–10 at a school founded for families living below the poverty line.
