"Because of education, we get knowledge and become human."

The students and teachers you are about to meet come from Pakistan's Sindh Province, where only 12% of women can read and write. Under normal circumstances, they would never have dreamed of getting an education.
But thanks to the Indus Resource Centre (IRC), a partner of the NetAid World Schoolhouse, girls like Rehana are pursuing a brighter future by attending community-run schools. Now, as part of the Global Campaign for Education, they are fighting for more, better schools in Pakistan.
