Historically, second generation children of immigrants lose touch with their native language. This causes a growing rift with their parents and grandparents, and causes communication barriers.

In partnership with Swat Relief Initiative (SRI), this  program is providing girls education in rural areas of Pakistan. In rural areas where there are no further education for girls, they are usually married off at the average age of 12. By providing further education, young girls have the opportunity to pursue college and build careers. Currently we are supporting an SRI Girls Model School in Islampur, Swat, Pakistan.
