CHIP partnered with the Ujala Education Foundation (UEF) aimed to enhance teaching standards, governance, infrastructure safety, and institutional sustainability, ensuring that children in rural communities have access to safe, inclusive, and high-quality education.
The Ujala Education Foundation, supported by CHIP’s PKR 8.1 Million grant for its Sohawa school project, achieved significant progress across educational quality, environment, and sustainability over the reporting period (July 2024 – June 2025), the UEF project achieved comprehensive operational excellence and sustainability.
Educational Quality was ensured through sustained academic rigor, featuring structured planning and self-assessment exams, complemented by continuous professional development focusing on critical teaching methods. In terms of Access and Environment, the school grew enrollment from 121 to 138 students in 2025, implemented robust health and safety protocols (including Polio/Deworming campaigns and smog precautions), and significantly improved security and functionality through facility upgrades. Finally, Governance and Sustainability were solidified by achieving a strong financial profile (97% fee collection), implementing decentralized management by moving the Manager Education role to the school level, and fostering high community trust through well-attended PTMs. This support is provided via CHIP Endowment Fund.
