Parveen Hilaluddin
Educationist, DHA Early Learning Centre

It all begin when Defence Housing Authority established the prestigious DHA'O&A' Levels School, starting from class I going up to 'A' Levels. I felt the need for a feeder school to the main school, since a child's early years are the most important ones. Finances were needed for the project and the first bank that came to my mind was the FWBL. Ms Zarine Aziz is very different from most bank presidents. She's accessible, cordial and receptive to new ideas.

After completing all the bank formalities within a few days, DHA Early Learning Centre was set up where children start at age two in the play group and go up to KG II at age 6-plus and then to Class I. The two schools together now provide continual education system to children from age 2 to 18 years on the same campus - a very rare facility in Karachi. FWBL played a very major role in the success of the school project by providing loan financing right on time. It continues with prompt banking services to the school, as well as for all the staff. My future plans include setting up similar high-quality purpose-built schools in other areas of Karachi.
