First Kashmir School Opens

We are pleased to announce that the Hopes Foundation’s first school in the Kashmir region is now finally complete after a challenging winter had put the construction project on hold.

Nearly two years ago, Hopes Foundation started the fundraiser for the construction of a school for the benefit of vulnerable children in the Topa area of ​​Azad Kashmir. The backing was overwhelming and the “School on the Mountain” campaign resulted in over a quarter of a million DKK raised.

The results of the campaign meant that Hopes Foundation decided to build not just one, but two schools, with everything it entails of inventory, teaching materials, teacher and coverage of the first few years of operating costs. We are pleased to announce that Hopes Foundation’s first school in the Kashmir region is now finally complete after a challenging winter had put the construction project on hold.

It is our hope that with contributions from generous sponsors in Denmark, we can help ensure the project’s continued maintenance and children’s education further into the future.
