Zainabiya Child Sponsorship Scheme (ZCSS)  champions the rights of all children living in destitution access to education. Here is one individual’s account of how ZCSS changed her life:

“It is a great pleasure to inform you that I have scored 94% in the Common Admission Test which is an entrance test for seeking admission into the top Business School in India for MBA program. I have been receiving educational facilities through the Zainabiya Child Sponsorship Scheme since my childhood for which I will always be thankful and pray for the success of The World Federation who is working for the noble cause of education.

I would like to write few things about myself.  Due to circumstances, my mother, along with myself and my siblings had to manage living in slum areas without the basic necessities of life.  . To meet our daily expenses my mother used to make garlands and my elder brother took up a petty job.

My brother was also allotted a flat in Baitul Qayam Complex so that me, my mother, elder sister and younger brother could live there. But due to some unavoidable circumstances my brother also could not keep us with him.

With an income of just Rs. 50/- a day, we had to live again in slum areas. It was very difficult to manage our expenses but due to the kind help of Khoja Asna Ashri Welfare Body (Hyderabad) and the Imam-e-Zamana Mission, we could make ends meet. I also took up some tuitions to meet my daily travelling and stationery expenses during my graduation and also helped my mother with some household expenses. After my graduation I took up a job in a BPO firm and since then taking care of all the household expenses, medicines for my asthmatic mother and sister who is partially blind. During this time I have changed at least 10 houses because of harassment from the landlords and ever increasing rent. Considering all this IZM has helped me with Rs. 4.00 lakhs and I bought a single bedroom flat (measuring 500 Sq feet) for Rs. 10.80 lakhs. The balance of Rs. 6.80 lakhs is being arranged from bank loan on my job for which I will be paying Rs. 7,000/- per month, towards monthly instalments.

Through the help of Zainabiya Child Sponsorship Scheme (ZCSS), I am happy to inform you that I have successfully managed to secure a place for the MBA Program. I pray to Allah (SWT) for all those who are working towards the noble cause of providing education. “
