My Nonprofit Reviews

As an elementary school teacher I have a deep connection to education for all, but especially the young. My own school has used the "Pennies for Peace" fundraiser to help the students here better understand that what they take for granted, many others lack and can only dream of having. We used the tools provided by Central Asia Institute (CAI) to deepen our students' knowledge of the communities CAI supports and to build a greater understanding of the power of an education. Valuable lessons were taught and learned. I feel CAI is doing important work educating girls in order to make their corner of the world a better place.

Central Asia Institute has one of the most valuable missions for the future of the societies in Tajikistan, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Empowering girls and women through education has the potential to change the futures of these countries in innumerable ways. I applaud these incredibly dedicated staff here in the US and overseas for their work to make the world a better place now and in the future.
