Gujrat: Students hailing from the poor sections of society are in a quandary because of meteoric rise in inflation and skyrocketing prices. Charity must become open armed to facilitate these large sections of population. To cater to this humanitarian need ‘Promotion of Education in Pakistan’ PEP; a financial organization has chalked out a comprehensive program. If a university pools up resources of 1 million rupees to develop ‘Student Advancement Fund Endowments’ (SAFEs) with the goal of funding an ongoing commitment to make higher education accessible to needy students, PEF will promptly issue a free matching grant of 1 million rupees.

 

This amount shall be invested in some lucrative business enterprise or fix-deposited in some bank. Out of this profit succor can be provided to the needy. PEP has already successfully launched such projects at the University of Punjab, G.C University Lahore, UET Lahore and G.C University Faisalabad, Beacon House National University Lahore (BNU).
