Is a secular, non-profit, U.S.-based organization whose purpose is to raise and distribute funds in support of human empowerment through female education.
Hoshyar takes as its primary mandate the goal of increasing girls' and women's access to education at all levels, especially the secondary school level. We work primarily in Pakistan but look to participate in other underserved areas of South Asia as well.
We promote a variety of programs in female literacy. Projects are identified through research, field trips and in consultation with local community projects. They include an array of incentives designed to increase female literacy and empowerment through enrollment of young women in educational institutions, and to retain students once they are enrolled.
Current projects focus on building schools in communities where they don't exist and on supporting schools that lack government support. We also support existing community education projects that lack the necessary resources to keep them running. We run projects in the Lahore area of the Punjab and in Mansehra District of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province (formerly North-West Frontier Province) of Pakistan.
Past projects have included interim support of a dozen schools in the Swat Valley which were destroyed in the fighting in 2009 between the Taliban and the Pakistani military. Our support took the form of paying teachers' salaries and the rents and temporary facilities while the destroyed schools were either being repaired or rebuilt.
Another past program was flood relief where Hoshyar donated money for temporary school rent that accommodated approx. 75 students in one of the flood effected communities in Indus-Kohistan.
