Providentia Books, a non-profit organization that donates books to underprivileged
schools and students, is pleased to announce its collaboration with Bunyad
Foundation, an esteemed institution committed to providing education to children in
slum areas.
On February 27, 2024, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between
Fatima Saqib, Program Manager at Providentia Books, and Shaheen Ateeq-ur-
Rehman, the visionary Founder of Bunyad Foundation. This agreement shares a
meaningful motive towards the advancement of education and empowerment of
underserved communities across Pakistan.
Bunyad Foundation, known for operating one-room barefoot schools in slum areas,
has been a beacon of hope for countless children seeking knowledge and
opportunities. Through this collaboration, Providentia Books pledges to support
Bunyad Foundation’s noble cause by donating Punjab textbooks for primary school
education. Providentia Books is extremely grateful to Oxford University Press (OUP)
Pakistan for providing the first consignment of 5992 text books at Lahore free of cost
for distribution among poor and needy children.
Expressing her gratitude, Shaheen Ateeq-ur-Rehman remarked, “We are immensely
grateful to partner with Providentia Books in our mission to educate and uplift the
underprivileged youth of our nation. The generosity shown by Providentia Books will
undoubtedly make a profound impact on the lives of the children we serve. We look
forward to more such agreements in the future.
Fatima Saqib, representing Providentia Books, expressed her appreciation for te
warm welcome and hospitality extended by Bunyad Foundation. “It is truly humbling
to witness the dedication and passion of the Bunyad team towards education. We
are honored to contribute to their efforts and look forward to expanding our support to
include secondary school education in the future. Together, we can make a
meaningful difference in the lives of these deserving students.”
The donated Punjab textbooks, focusing primarily on classes 5 through matriculation,
will serve as valuable educational resources for Bunyad Foundation’s students,
enabling them to pursue their academic aspirations with confidence and enthusiasm.
