What a school term actually costs
Fees are rarely the whole expense. A closer look at the smaller costs that decide whether a child returns to class after the holidays.

We work across four areas — education, healthcare, food support and community welfare — with families and neighbourhoods in Pakistan, at the points where a small amount of help arriving on time changes what happens next.

Serving Humanity, Building a Better Tomorrow
Tahira Umeed-e-Seher Foundation works in Pakistan across education, healthcare, food support and community welfare. These four areas are not separate problems. The family whose child leaves school is often the same family postponing a doctor’s visit and stretching a month’s rations across six weeks.
So we start with the household rather than the programme. What is the specific cost, the specific week, the specific obstacle? That question produces smaller, less impressive-sounding work than a campaign does — and it is far more likely to change what happens next.
Each programme runs on its own terms, but they are delivered by the same people to the same neighbourhoods — which is what allows one to notice a need the others would have missed.
Essential care for households who would otherwise delay treatment until it is urgent.
Ration support for households through the months when the budget will not stretch.
Practical help with the problems that do not fit neatly into a programme.
These figures come from our own delivery records. Where a number is not yet confirmed it is shown as pending rather than filled in.
Figures pending. We publish a number only once it can be supported by our own delivery records. Nothing on this page is estimated.

Bringing consultation into a neighbourhood removes two costs at once — the fare to reach a hospital and the day of income lost getting there.
Food insecurity is rarely constant. It arrives with a lost job, a medical bill, or a month when prices moved faster than wages.
