While traveling the world, Andrea has always found ways to give back, whether through small gestures or meaningful contributions aimed at helping those in need. Having visited Pakistan twice by the time his daughter was born in 2010, Andrea felt compelled to create something more lasting. The seed was planted.

Reaching out to his guide, Saeed, to discuss the idea and requested a quote to see if it was even feasible his response was simple: “Andrea, no more business between us. Cover your expenses, and I will help you.”

Following his trip in 2011, a pivotal introduction to the law firm Clayton Utz in Sydney led to their generous offer to handle all the legal paperwork pro bono to officially register the charity and follow the project. The rest, as they say, is history.

With just AU$10 a month, donors can support a child’s schooling, and AU$60 a month can cover a teacher's salary. We’ve witnessed inspiring progress: one school we began supporting in 2013, once just four walls, a roof and some tents for classrooms, now has desks, chairs, a washroom and even electric lighting—a true testament to community growth.

My First School Pakistan Ltd is an Australian registered charity. ABN 27619828189

Since the beginning of this project, Andrea has personally covered the charity's operational costs, ensuring that 100% of your donations go directly to supporting the schools..
