INVEST IN SCHOOLS
2013 donations helped MDF provide:
250 full scholarships

An education
directly affects
ones chance
to earn a living,
allowing one to
provide for their
family. It also
offers an
alternative to
joining extremist
groups. MDF
creates those
opportunities.
Shazias Story
My name is Shazia Mansha. My family is
poor but hardworking. We receive our
livelihood from harvesting, and I was
responsible for grazing our cattle,
helping my family with their work, and
serving as a maid in other homes to
increase family income. When I first
started at Sheikhupura school, the
teachers took pity on me and cut my hair
and nails and taught me how to brush
my teeth. I felt like a brand new person. I
could look in the mirror and feel proud of
myself. They were so kind, its hard to
keep clean with the type of work I had to
do from the moment I left school. When I
started falling behind because I did not
have time to do homework, the teachers
spoke with my parents. I would not be
able to excel in school if I didnt also do
my homework and study for my exams.
One day we had a field trip to the
zoo. I was SO happy! I got to see
animals that I had only previously
known of in books. I started reading
aloud all the boards at the zoo and
the other students were surprised by
my reading ability. When I was asked
how I could read some of these
difficult words I replied, Before I
started school I was a dirty little girl,
now I am confident, smart, and
important. My parents now excuse
me from most of my responsibilities
so I have enough time to study. They
are proud and happy and now
understand the value of an education.
I have promised them that I will be a
good student and share all that I am
learning so others can benefit from
my education too!

The whole world is watching as revolution
spreads in the Middle East and South Asia.
People are demanding change. They want
freedom, jobs, civil liberties, and schools. They
want opportunity for all, not just the privileged
few. This hope for a better life is precisely what
we see with the everyman, everywoman,
and everychild we have the opportunity to
work with in Pakistan.

Drones attacked parts of northwest Pakistan on
average every three days in 2010. As U.S. drones
and Pakistans Army attacks northwestern
regions, extremists move to urban areas of
Pakistan to take cover among the masses. There
they have combined forces with Punjabi
extremists to wage war against civilians,
policemen and politicians on the streets of
major cities. In 2010 alone, terrorists murdered
2,913 Pakistani people and injured 5,824. The
extremist groups continue to do most of their
recruitment in the urban areas. The attempted
attack in Times Square by Faisal Shahzad signals
that Pakistani extremist groups ambitions may
be growing.

At our annual Aspen fundraiser at Shelly and
Golda Friedsteins beautiful home last summer,
His Excellency Ambassador Husain Haqqani
said, "What MDF is trying to dowill be the
guarantee of our security. Young people can
be brought up on the idea of hope. Every
young Pakistani child who gets to go to school,
gets an opportunity in life. This child becomes
one more recruit denied to Al Qaeda and the
Taliban." In 2010 we enrolled nearly 300 children
in school, fed them, clothed them, and gave
them hope. We improved relations between
the people of Pakistan and the U.S. via Global
Kid Connect, our partner classroom project that
served over 100 children in the U.S. and
Pakistan. We partnered with local NGO, IKI
Foundation, to strengthen their vocational
education program and will be working
together to launch morel centers in 2011.

The vocational training programs will focus on
female entrepreneurs in the communities in
which we work. We will provide these women
with job skills, business training, and link them to
financial services and markets with which they
will be able to earn income and help lift their
families out of poverty. A percentage of the
profits from the products they retail will be
dedicated to the schools and training centers
to support long-term sustainability.

I wish to take this moment to thank our
supporters. You are game changers in the field
of international security. Your mission is a
challenging one, but you carry on knowing it is
the only way to build a more just and secure
world. As Hamilton Wright reminds us, all
worthwhile achievements take place in a
challenging environment. It is the challenge,
and the human will to overcome it, that makes
great achievements possible.
