Marianne Kindergarten Girls Middle School

OCD believes that all children, regardless of their socio-economic background, must be given equal access and opportunity to quality education in a safe, secure & joyful learning environment. In pursuit of this vision, we promote modern and quality education at Marianne Kindergarten Girls School, Khushpur (MKGS), established in 2006. In October 2010, the school shifted into its new building and was registered as a girls’ school. Since its inception, MKGS is providing child-centered education focusing on the special needs of students and enhancing the capacities of teachers to become good facilitators.

The students are taught the practice of high moral values by underprivileged rural children in their daily lives. Following the school’s motto, “TO BE A GOOD CITIZEN,” the process of education and formation is not only for their own identity and self-image but also for the development and prosperity of their families and society. MKGS is the grassroots initiative of OCD and provides quality education to its local and adjacent villages children. Despite several obstacles, OCD currently provides top-notch education to 155 rural students committed to pursuing their education and achieving their dreams.

We started Marianne Kindergarten in 2006 with 15 children, which has become very progressive with the hard work of teachers, effective supervision of OCD, and special support of Kindermissionswerk. In October 2010, the school shifted into its new building and registered as a girls’ school. Since its inception, we have been providing child-centered education in an appropriate learning atmosphere, focusing on the special needs of kids and enhancing the capacities of teachers to become good facilitators.

Education Recovery Plan

The on-going political unrest in Pakistan, backed by the Russian invasion, and recovery from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused severe economic challenges for months due to which prices of all everyday use consumable items have risen. The high prices of food in Pakistan is already hindering the government to attain the Sustainable Development Goals and significantly threating the food security and socioeconomic well-being of the vulnerable and poorest of Pakistan.

In these hard financial crisis when it is difficult for a daily wager to even put a decent meal on his family table, OCD has been providing notebooks, curriculum books, stationery, school bags, uniforms and free of cost education to the neediest students at MKGS. Throughout 2021 and 2022 we were able to support 90 students under the “Education Recovery Plan”. In 2023 we are supporting 50 deserving students to receive education with no burden on their financially overburdened parents.

You can ensure that these students continue receiving the education they deserve by reaching out to us and support one or more student under our “Sponsor a Child” program.
