Our Story

Why We Started Roshni

Back home in Pakistan, so many bright, hardworking children are held back only because their families cannot afford an education.

As Pakistani students who studied at university in the UK, we know how much a good education can change a life. We were fortunate to receive opportunities that these children have not, and we could not look away.

That is why we started Project Roshni. We want to stand beside these children, believe in them, and give them the same chance to chase their dreams.

In Their Words

Testimonials from our scholars.

With this opportunity I have been able to make sure that I put dedication into my hard work and achieve my dream of becoming an Aeronautical Engineer without the slightest worry of financial needs.

M. Sahban Khan

Receiving the Project Roshni scholarship in 2024 was one of the most meaningful moments of my academic journey. It gave me a strong sense of encouragement and responsibility.

Aleea Batool

More than just financial relief, this scholarship meant a lot emotionally. It reminded me that there are people and organisations like yours who believe in supporting students and investing in their potential.

SM Mustafa

There were times when my father struggled to manage household expenses, and this scholarship eased the burden by covering my academic costs, like when my sister had a knee injury, the funds that would have otherwise been spent on my education were available to help with her medical care.
