Learn To Earn

(SACHET Computer Training Center)

SACHET initiated the establishment of Computer Training Centers in rural communities ( Shahdrah, Banigala and Pinyali) with the aim to equip the students with IT skills while offering least cost solution to unemployed youth through Learn to Earn Project.

Currently, we have one operational Computer Training Centers; at SCDP Pinyali. The reason behind establishing the computer center was to provide an easy access of computer education to the disadvantaged students of this area as there was no computer training center in the surrounding areas of Pinyali.This center also encouraged girls to learn IT skills.

Till March 2006, Four Hundred and Ten (410) students have learnt IT skills.




Dr. A. Q. Khan Scholarship Project

Dr. A. Q. Khan Scholarship” is one of the Projects of SACHET’s Education Program.

SACHET is running this project with the aim to provide equal opportunities of education to the needy but brilliant students.

The beneficiaries of the project can be as many as can be easily adjusted within our limited budget. The scholarships granted encourage the beneficiaries to develop their hidden potentials and to help the Govt efforts to enhance the literacy rates by giving either full or partial tuition fees to the deserving candidates. Thus, these candidates are thus at no disadvantage as compared to students who can afford to pay the expenses from their own resources.

Priority is given to orphans and girls.

Till March 2006, 88 Students received scholarships.
