This project aims to empower women by providing literacy skills for life, fostering personal development, and influencing their families and communities positively. Women will also gain spiritual growth through a deeper understanding of the Bible.  

In 2025, the goal is to reach 3,000 women across literacy groups. PBS will meet with Church leaders, assess the literacy rate among the women in the area, determine the number of classes need, conduct teacher training and baseline assessments. PBS will also facilitate eyesight test for new students and will provide glasses as required. 

Classes will run for nine months, with at least 20 students per class across 350 classes in remote areas. In 2025, PBS also plan to begin an Evaluation Program by an external organisation, to assess areas for improvement and opportunities to scale up the project.  The classes will focus on reading, writing, mathematics, and health lessons from a medical guide in the syllabus.  

Over 10 years (2014-2023) 57,964 women have graduated through this project, gaining invaluable literacy skills to improve their lives and those of their families. The average Pakistani family consists of five members, which means at least 289,820 people have been indirectly impacted through the project so far. 

In 2025, the project aims to reach 3000 vulnerable women, with an indirect impact of 17,500 people.  

This project primarily impacts Christian Pakistani women whose Christian faith is not always welcomed. The project aspires to help these women become educated citizens, good income earners, competent Bible readers, and have the motivation to send their children to school for education. Further to this, equipping this target group will strengthen Christian families and empower women to develop spiritually and take on the mandate to reach others, beginning with their families. 

The support and involvement of the Pakistani Church from across denominations in project has been strong.
