Executive Summary
The Shining Star School System, founded by the late Rose Bella in 2018, is dedicated to giving free education and faith-based guidance to underprivileged children in Faisalabad. Today, 70 children are squeezed into three rented rooms, constantly threatened by instability and lack of space.
We now have a special opportunity: to buy a 30 Marla plot (7,500 sq. ft.) for a permanent school. The land costs 21 million PKR (≈ 75,000 USD / ≈ 808,000 SEK) and can be purchased on a 7-year installment plan.
We need only 120,000 PKR per month (≈ 429 USD / ≈ 4,615 SEK) to secure the land. The rest of the amount can be paid off anytime during the 7 years through larger donations or lump-sum gifts.
We are seeking 4 donors who can each give 1,000 kroner monthly to cover the installment. At the same time, we will begin construction step by step: starting with 3 classrooms costing only 3,500 USD total (≈ 975,000 PKR / ≈ 37,000 SEK), and expand as donations arrive.
Background & Legacy
Our founder, Rose Bella, gave her life to serve poor and brick kiln children, ensuring they had the chance to study and grow in faith. Since her passing in 2021, her son Muqrab Fida and daughter-in-law Saima Kanwal have carried forward her vision under CBR Pakistan.

Call to Action
This is not just a construction project — it is about rescuing children from child labor and poverty, and keeping alive the vision of my late mother, Rose Bella.
🙏 Will you be one of the 4 monthly partners giving 1,000 kroner to secure the land?
