Having triumphed over cancer, Dr. Mohsin Raza is now dedicated to illuminating the lives of underprivileged children through education. The challenges he faced have only strengthened his resolve to give back to society. Eight years ago, Dr. Raza embarked on his mission to educate the children of laborers, starting with just 23 students. Today, his initiative has reached over 1,500 students, offering them a chance at a brighter future through free education.
Dr. Raza’s commitment to the cause is unwavering. He has established more than 700 study centers, where children receive quality education free of charge. The journey began with a small center and has grown exponentially over the years, providing not just academic knowledge but also life skills that empower these children.
The inspiration for opening a school came from a young girl who approached Dr. Raza, expressing her desire to study. Moved by her determination, he decided to dedicate himself to the cause of education. Despite his own health struggles, he opened a school for the children, who had no access to formal education. This initiative has grown into a significant movement, bringing hope to many families.
Dr. Raza launched the “Umeed” initiative, which has now become a beacon of hope for the underprivileged. The program offers a range of educational opportunities, including skill development courses like sewing and computer literacy. Since 2012, the initiative has expanded to include various programs aimed at improving the quality of life for children in need.
Dr. Raza’s journey is a testament to the power of resilience and the impact one individual can make in the lives of many. His work continues to inspire others to contribute to the betterment of society, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn and grow.
