On 23rd June 2019, Daniel Buja took a leap, quite literally, for Quest for Education Foundation (QEF). In an inspiring show of courage and commitment, Buja completed a 15,000ft tandem skydive to raise funds for quality education for disadvantaged children in rural areas of Pakistan.
Facing Fear for a Purpose
Heights are one of Buja’s greatest fears. But instead of letting that stop him, he chose to challenge himself, embodying the mantra: Do one thing every day that scares you. With the support of his friends, family, and generous donors, he took to the skies, proving that pushing beyond limits can lead to extraordinary impact.
Many may have called him crazy, but as Buja himself pointed out, it is often the ones who think differently who change the world. His boldness and determination helped raise an incredible £645, surpassing his original £500 target. A total of 28 supporters contributed to the fundraiser, proving that small actions, when combined, can create significant change.
Why Quest for Education?
Quest for Education Foundation (QEF) is a UK-registered charity dedicated to providing quality education based on the British model to underprivileged children, with a special focus on women’s empowerment. In partnership with Kashmir Education Foundation (KEF) in Pakistan, QEF works to bridge the education gap in rural communities, ensuring that children who would otherwise be left behind have the opportunity to learn, grow, and build a better future for themselves and their communities.
Buja, who works in education himself, understands firsthand the power of learning and how it can transform lives. His skydive was not just a personal challenge, but a commitment to making education accessible to those who need it most.
Mission Accomplished
After completing his dive, Buja described the experience as “surreal and breathtaking”, something he would never forget. More importantly, his bravery directly contributed to QEF’s mission, helping to fund educational initiatives that will shape the futures of countless children.
