34+ Years Track Record

Since 1988, Diya has provided more than 500,000 scholarships worth more than US$ 10 million in financial assistance. Our primary focus is to reach out to financially distressed students across rural and urban Pakistan, enabling them to continue their education. Field visits and feedback from the annual survey program provide strong evidence that our donors’ money is making a positive impact on the lives of many of the otherwise forgotten students and their families.

In 2013, Diya expanded its scope of activities to address the chronic unemployment challenge in Pakistan. Diya has started a vocational training stipend program to assist students who are unable to pursue higher education to acquire employable skills.

Also starting in 2013, Diya has launched the Future Leaders Program (Rahnuma) to groom extraordinary talented students through coaching, education scholarships, and career advisory services.

Since 2006, Diya has grown exponentially driven by a significantly higher amount of donations received from our local and international supporters. This was a direct result of increased awareness about Diya’s activities, confidence in the integrity, commitment, and professionalism of our people, and the confidence that the donations are reaching the most deserving beneficiaries and making a significant contribution to their lives.

Financial Information

Diya maintains a complete record of its financial affairs since its inception, and these are available for review to all our supporters.

Since 2010, all operational expenses are funded directly by the trustees, hence ensuring that 100% of all contributions by our donors reach the deserving students
