Background Information/Statement of the problem/Justification

Information on Target Area/Target Population

Proposed Geographical Location: City Faisalabad

Faisalabad, formerly known as Lyallpur, is the third largest metropolis in Pakistan, the
second largest in the province of Punjab after Lahore, and a major industrial center in the heart
of Pakistan. Also known as Manchester of Asia, Faisalabad remains an important industrial city
west of Lahore. The city-district of Faisalabad is bound on the north by the districts of Hafizabad
and Chiniot, on the east by Nankana Sahib, on the south by Sahiwal, and Toba Tek Singh and on
the west by Jhang.

The city of Faisalabad carried out a census in March 1981 which showed the population of
Faisalabad city as 1,092,000, which indicates that growth rate of Faisalabad city is only 3.37
percent per annum. In April 1981 the survey was carried out again which recorded the
population to 1,232,000 which made the growth rate approximately 4.6%. Given this growth
rate, the population at the end of 1981 was estimated to be 1,240,000. According to the World
Gazetteer, the estimate of the city is expected to have reached 5,000,000 in 2010.

The rapid increase in population and lack of required resources according to the needs of the
people is making it very much hard for the people to fulfill their needs. The poor communities
cannot give their children a good education and proper diet. So due to dearth of required needs
in their childhood they get involved and a take a way for wrong practices like stealing, looting,
and lack makes them unable to keep difference what is good and what is bad. Because of
improper family planning and guidance they get married in their small ages and hence this cycle
goes on.

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

As DONA is taking an initiative for providing a computer education for poor children of the
society who don’t know even the meaning and purpose of computer. How can they be
prosperous in life when computer is used in almost every field of life? For this reason DONA has
visited many thickly populated and backward areas of Faisalabad and found hundreds of
children without a computer education/ knowledge or has no access to education as education is
the basic right of humanity. So DONA has taken this initiative to provide a platform to such
children so that they can have at least basic computer education and at least they can be able to
interact with computer and know its functions and different uses and be prosperous in life.
Although there are many IT/Computer centers in the city but due to high fee people are unable
to give such education to them and mostly schools have no computer literacy/training for

DONA ORGANIZATION

children and the schools who have such modern facilities, again they are out of reach of such
poor and depressed people.

Our achievement:

For this educational project for children 40-50 children have been registered with us and
waiting us to give them a call of hope as soon as possible .

Goal of the project

To contribute toward the educational development of children and to acquaint them with
modern world through modern technology and knowledge and make them enable to become
prosperous in life.

OBJECTIVES: The overall objectives of the project are:

(a) To start an educational institution in the name of organization in which the poor children of
the society can get basic computer education.

(b) To provide children a quality computer education/knowledge and guidance under the
supervision of experienced and qualified hired teachers.

(c) To provide the children an environment they would feel easy in learning and feels no
hesitation and hindrance.

(d) To provide them not only basic computer education but also introduce them other courses
like MS office, Adobe Photoshop, Coral Draw, and other normally used software’s education.

(e) To conduct activities other than course education to develop their interest in learning.

(f) To arrange tests of children to know the learning standard and ability of understanding to
increase their knowledge.

(g) To give small gifts in tests in order to increase their interest and yearn to compete more.
