Target demographics: create educational opportunities for children and young adults in economically and politically oppressed areas
Geographic areas served: developing countries throughout the world
Programs: Dosti Welfare Organization establishes schools in Pakistan and maintains them with funds raised by Global Education Campaign in the U.S. DWO employs local individuals as teachers and in other staff positions. Because the curriculum of Dosti schools conforms to local government regulations, a graduate of one of our schools can easily be admitted to other schools or colleges. As of 2012 we are overseeing 14 schools. Our first school, at Sufaid Dheri, has been certified as an approved location to administer the 10th grade exam. Our Peshawar office and our skill training center for adult women are located within the Sufaid Dheri building.
