Success Stories
Meet Aliza Baloch, a vibrant 13-year-old from a small village in Balochistan, where education was once a distant dream. Aliza is a Grade 6 student at Shaheed Khushnoodzeb School, a place she cherishes deeply, not just because of its proximity to her home, but for the life-changing opportunities it has brought her.
Before joining TAKMIL, Aliza’s life revolved around household chores—washing clothes, cleaning the house, and taking care of her younger siblings. Education seemed like an unreachable goal, but that all changed when she joined the school. Now, she proudly balances her daily tasks with her passion for learning, all while helping her siblings with their studies.
Aliza has a deep love for English, calling it her favorite subject because of her fascination with the language. When she’s not busy with schoolwork, you can find her reading, writing, painting, or crafting beautiful traditional Balochi dresses at home. Aliza also enjoys spending time with her best friends—Faiza, Sumiya, Zainab, and Jaweria—and her favorite part of school is engaging in fun game activities.
Recently, Aliza won 3rd prize in a Debate competition held during the International Literacy Day event, organized by the Directorate of Literacy and Non-Formal Education in Quetta, Balochistan. Her remarkable achievement is a testament to her hard work and determination!
Her biggest dream is to become a doctor, motivated by the fact that there are no doctors in her village. Aliza believes her village’s simplicity is what makes it beautiful, but she also knows that it needs more resources, especially healthcare. She is determined to one day fill that gap.
One of her greatest inspirations is her teacher, Hussain Ahmed, who she describes as kind and hardworking. He supports her not just in the classroom, but even after school, helping her with difficult homework. Aliza learns quickly, often mastering concepts faster than her peers.
Reflecting on her journey, Aliza says, “Before TAKMIL, my life was so dark, and education was just a dream for me. I had no aim. Now, I see all my dreams becoming a reality.”
Aliza’s story is a shining example of how education can transform a life. With the support of TAKMIL, she is now on a path to realizing her dreams, showing us that with determination, any obstacle can be overcome.
