    Respected sir
    I’m running a private school in charbagh district swat kpk. The students getting education here belong to very poor families. It’s a co-education high School. We have 27 staff members including 5 women. As you know that private institution needs regular amount to run the system smoothly but unfortunately the poor parents can’t afford even the regular monthly fees. The situation to a great extant is unsatisfied.we are facing problems regarding staff salaries and buildings rent. Moreover the sitting chairs of the students are in bad condition. The school needs science Lab, Library, sports goods, computers multimedia and printers.
    The girls section of the school needs special attention because their parents don’t want to spend money on them so they stop their education process and on the other hand we can’t afford qualified female teachers for them.
    Due these great problems the school showing good results in swat board each year. This is all possible because of teachers hardwork and cooperation
    You have been financing such institutions in Pakistan, so I request you finance Khyber school charbagh.
    You are requested to please visit the school and observe the whole situation of the school.
