DIL embarked on this project in the aftermath of the devastating 2005 earthquake that killed over 75,000 people and displaced almost 1 million school-aged children. In 2007, DIL, in partnership with AGAHI, completed construction and opened two new primary schools in Mansehra.
Nestled high in the mountains, the District of Mansehra is renowned for its landscape and scenic beauty. The district is located at the eastern border of the Northwest Frontier Province (NWFP) — two hours drive from Peshawar and three hours from Islamabad. The average literacy rate for females is half that of males in rural Mansehra, 31% and 61%, respectively.
