Poverty in Pakistan

Due to poverty, many children are forced to do labor work instead of getting education. That is the reason Pakistan has the lowest literacy rate among the neighboring countries. When the parents are not paid enough they send their little kids to go and do hard jobs in order to earn some money.

These small kids at a very young age give up themselves to the situation and get in the way of earning money leaving their education and grooming far behind. Although they want to learn, their situation doesn't allow them. Not only this, but a very tough job is taken from them in return for a small fraction of the amount. Various kids can be seen at the kilns making bricks, some can be seen at workshops repairing different automobiles and others can be seen at different other places.

But the common thing in all that places is, these places are not supposed to get work from these children. The work demanded at these places needs to be done by adults. These kids are supposed to get their education. It is their basic right. According to a survey, till 2020, the literacy rate of Pakistan is just 58% which is not good news. Another factor to be worried about is that Pakistan is listed as the second country with the highest out-of-school children ratio.

Proceeding further, these aspects are just because of the inflation and the increasing poverty in the state. If we want to make our country progress by leaps and bounds, it should make necessary to educate our children. We must need to consider these children as our children.

As we are not already working on it, and we need to start this project, we have to plan it for its success. For this purpose, first of all, we can raise funds for the betterment of these children. As these children often get 50 Rs a day so we can give this amount to them and ask them to get education instead of doing labor work. These kids want to gain the education, they want to go to school and learn different things in life but their circumstances don't allow them. So we can take an initiative to work for them. As it is a small project as compared to the child labor ratio and the literacy rate of Pakistan but we all know great things are started from low levels.
