They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but for us, a picture is worth a thousand dreams realized. Today, we are looking back at 14 years of service in Skardu. From our very first group of students to the massive family we have today, the mission has remained the same: Empower through education.

The Constant in the Change

While the buildings have gotten bigger and the solar panels have replaced candles, the spirit of the BSW Foundation remains unchanged. We still prioritize students from the most remote areas of Baltistan. We still believe that every child, regardless of birth, deserves a seat in a classroom.

“Looking at the 2013 photo, I remember the faces of boys who are now working professionals. Looking at 2024, I see the future doctors, engineers, and teachers who will lead Skardu tomorrow.” — Hassan Askoli
