SNF is a 501 (c) (3) and was set up with the primary purpose of providing quality education to impoverished children and assistance to their families on a long-term basis. Some of the proceeds from the work of Awake Abiding LLC go towards the financing of this SNF. The intention is to lift the most impoverished from their present situation and give them skills to pursue a  vocational and, if possible, professional life. And if not professional, then at least equip them with a vocation in which they would live far better than their present conditions allow. All children get private quality education The parents of these children are illiterate and this necessitates private one-on-one tutoring. This is vastly different from the poor schools, or madrasas, that they may find themselves in if they at all even make it to a free school.

In order for this endeavor to truly succeed, only a few children are taken from various households. Their parents work as servants, sweepers and the like for people we directly know. This enables us to know that these children are indeed in school and the employers of the parents can monitor their progress and needs on an ongoing basis. In addition, we have an independent party monitoring the kids' progress. If they do not do well academically, we shift our course to put them in vocational settings. Although SNF has been set up to work internationally, at this moment, we are choosing Pakistan as the country of our work, primarily because of the connections we have. We allow each donor direct access to the child or the family. Since this is a composite approach of promoting well-being on a holistic level, SNF will provide the following:

1. Tuition

2. Books, uniforms, and other supplies

3. Computers

4. Transportation to and from

5. Food and vitamins

6 . Medical help to the child and even to the parent who may otherwise not be able to work due to a medical condition.

7. Contingency for an emergency.

 

The long-term plan for SNF is to secure an endowment until these kids graduate.. At present, SNF is servicing 13 children in Lahore, Pakistan. Three of these children have now graduated into private colleges which we are also financing. . © 202
