Individual contribution for the development of country's education sector at the grass root level is equally important as government is committed for its betterment.

Zeba Hussain has become a symbol of commitment for rest of the country when it comes to the development of education sector.

She has successfully been running a high school for the last four years in Bari Imam‚ a slum area of federal capital‚ which is exclusively dedicated for internally displaced children from various parts of the country.

"I have a strong feeling for these children whose parents are unable to send them to schools for whatever reasons. Their parents are even unable to provide them with enough food"‚ told Director Mashal Trust‚ Zeba Hussain adding that I have also been training them with vocational skills so to better fulfill their future needs.

She has been running this trust with the help of her personal friends.

"Some of my friends from abroad are helping Mashal Trust in meeting its annual expenses‚ but all donors are individual private donors"‚ said Zeba Hussain.

She herself has been taking care of school teachers' training who are rendering their services for these poor children. All of them belong to the local community of Bari Imam.
