Overview
Atre Yas Nabavi, located in Shiraz-Fars, was officially established in 2012 through the support and donations of the public. The charity has two centers for supporting underprivileged/orphan kids aged 3-6 and 6-12. One of its current projects is constructing an advanced facility to accommodate underrepresented kids/orphans in Shiraz. This orphanage supports 110 vulnerable children’s education. Here are brief statistics about these children’s grades:
- Preschoolers: 20
- Elementary Schoolers: 71
- Middle Schoolers: 18
- High Schoolers: 1
What actions have been taken by Golestan's donors up to this point?
In the summer of 2022, Golestan supported these children’s education in a pilot program. We provided financial support for Atre Yas to do the following for these 110 children:
- Registering these vulnerable children in 180 extra-curricular activity classes, including summer art and sports classes, to nurture their talents and feel like normal children
- Registering children above 14 years old in a series of 70-person skillset improvement classes to prepare them for an independent life after leaving the orphanage
- Holding a series of 115-person refresher classes for the school courses which these children find difficult and require additional assistance with.
- Purchasing 2 supplemental books for these children (requested by local instructors)
What are we planning to do?
We are planning to continue an extensive personalized educational program for each of these children which will include the following:
- Buying school books, supplies, backpacks, shoes/clothing and school uniforms at the beginning of the school year
- Providing three refresher classes (کلاس های تقویتی) throughout the year, for exam preparation during the first/second school semesters, and summer sessions
- Registering the children above 14 in skill set classes (کلاس های مهارت آموزی) to help them learn practical skills that will prepare them for the future - for example, tailoring classes, mechanics, etc.
- Registering the students in extracurricular activities classes like art and sports classes to provide a chance for them to know and nurture their talents like normal children
- Supplying supplemental teaching resources, including a pack of story books to encourage a lifelong love of reading
Why should you help us?
Our estimates show that we need about $22,000 USD to fully cover the educational needs of the mentioned 110 children (See Education Campaign’s page for the details). These children need your donation and support to get a decent education, to be able to nurture their talents and become financially independent and functional members of society when they grow up. Your help will make a real difference in the lives of these children who have been deprived of a peaceful and normal life. Please consider donating, as your donation will alleviate their suffering.
