In third world countries, there is the misconception that secondary and higher education is not as important as literacy and primary education. Therefore children who are fortunate to attend primary school and to learn to read and write, often do not have the opportunity to study further.
Alhamdulillah, students who have received assistance through the Zainabiyya Child Sponsorship Scheme (ZCSS) program have moved on to complete their education and started building careers which allow them not only to become self-sufficient and independent but also improve the lives of their families.

They are uplifting themselves and their families from the cycle of poverty through education.
