Diya is your
opportunity to make a difference in
the lives of many of these forgotten
students. Read here about typical
circumstances of deserving students
and also how small donations are
making a big difference.
We have deliberately left some of
the narratives in their actual
format (Urdu, English), and some
others have been translated for the
benefit of our international
supporters. Based on request
received from students, some of the
identities have been kept discreet.

I hope you are well. Fortunately we
are in receipt of scholarship forms
and have made efforts to complete
formalities despite low literacy of
parents and interruption of Eid
holidays.
We have female student in class IX
and X and after getting your
permission, we recommended 34 female
students for the scholarship for an
amount of Rs 26000/- where as you
had approved Rs 25200/-. We hope
that the additional amount of Rs
800/- will be paid to us.
We are saddened by the shahadat of
your young son. A special ceremony
was held on 17 January 2009 to
distribute the stipends among
deserving students. Special prayers
was also held to commemorate the
shahadat for your son and other
victims of bomb blast. (Translated).

have so many students who do
not have the money to

is simply wonderful that
Diya has come forward to
help these poor children to
fulfill their dreams.” |

Your organization has shown
consideration for our poor and
talented students by awarding
stipends. These 17 students belong
to poor rural families. Your
stipends have spread the light of
knowledge and education in their
homes. We are thankful to you from
bottom of our heart for remembering
them and expect that you would
continue to remember us.
May Allah bless you with faith and
prolonged life to carry on with this
noble cause and keep the beacon
alight. I am indeed saddened by the
shahadat of your son and pray for
you.
I along with all the teachers of my
institutions remember you in our
prayers. May Allah be your protector
and sustainer. Ameen (Translated)

stipends that Diya has
provided were simply a
blessing for the poor
children of our college,
especially those hailing
from rural areas.” |

Huma
(Student, University of Engineering
and Technology, Lahore)
I am a student of Industrial and
Manufacturing Engineering from
University of Engineering and
Technology Lahore. My reg #
06-IME- 01.
I belong to
Farooq Abad
a town near Sheikhupura. I live in
hostel in university. My father is a
van driver and he drives local van
from Sheikhupura to Lahore. Total
income is Rs 8000/- per month. We
are four sisters and two brothers
out of which four of us are college
and university going students. So it
is very difficult for us to manage
our expenses in such small amount
now a days. As I live in hostel so,
I have more problems. Being a girl
and hostelite I could not find
suitable tuitions to meet my
expenses. Further, it will disturb
my studies a lot. My elder sister
was teaching in a school but she had
to leave due to her married life
now. I had been good student uptill
now. As you can see from my
documents that I obtained
913/1100
in my Fsc pre-engineering which is
83.7% and I got
712/850
in matric which is 83%. I am also
good student of my university. I
have keen desire to complete my
studies but I need your support for
that, I shall be highly thankful to
you. (Original)

I received the scholarship letter
with gratitude. I am very satisfied
because my financial position will
improve significantly with this
amount. May Allah bless you and all
those who are associated with Diya

aging parents will forever pray for
you and I promise that I shall
remain in contact with Diya Pakistan
when I, Inshallah, become an
engineer. May your organization grow
and prosper in years to come, Ameen

Ali
(Student, Agriculture University,

Well it is difficult to express my
feelings for the stipend by filling
the Performa only. But I am very
very thankful to you people because
you helped me a lot for continuing
my studies and now by the grace of
Allah and your help I am in Masters
and soon I will get my degree to
serve my country and my parents and
promise to return each penny of the
stipend provided to me so that it
might help someone like me. Thanks
once again and may Allah keep you on
the sky. (Original)

Mohammad
(Student, University of Engineering

I am grateful to you for giving me
the scholarship. Sir as you know
that I belong to a poor family. My
father is a poor man. My elder
brother is in Army serving as a
clerk. He has his own family, but he
supports me a lot. I’m living in the
university hostel where the average
mess charges exceeds Rs 2000/- per
month. I have to pay the term fee of
Rs 10000/- per month. So the total
monthly charges are Rs 4500 per
month. Sir I’ve worked hard to
equalize the income and expenses.
Sir, I would be very grateful to
Diya Pakistan for giving me the
opportunity of improving my studies.

Hafiz
(Student, Khyber Medical College,
Peshawar)
I am a 3rd year student in KMC
Peshawar. Allah has blessed me with
intellect and I wish to help those
who are poor and serve my people and
country. I belong to a poor family
comprising of 7 persons who find it
exceedingly hard to meet household
expenses as well as huge college fee
and hostel charges. The expenditure
is beyond my capacity and is
constantly distracting my mind and
affecting my studies. I appeal for
financial assistance so that I may
study with commitment. (Translated)
| “ With
the noble intention of
serving the poor, Hafiz
dreamed of becoming a
doctor. However, hailing
from a poor family, he was
beginning to lose hope when
Diya reached out to him with
a helping hand. ” |
