A community coordinator of a UNDP funded health project in Rehri Goth – a small fishing village in the suburbs of Karachi. A confident young girl having high aims of serving her community. “The girls in our village have never even dreamt of having access to quality education and pursuing a career before Allah sent these people to us who established this Hilal Public School here and attracted the attention, respect and confidence of our parents and community elders to send their children, especially girls, to their school.” Rubina recalls. Today many girls of Rubina’s age at Rehri Goth are educated mothers and housewives and a few of them have chosen respectable professions like teaching to become important income-generators of their families.
