Are you an Iqra Fund founding donor?
Do you want to be?
In the past five months, we've raised over $100,000 to support girls' and women's
education initiatives in Pakistan and Morocco. From $50 to $50,000, every dollar makes a difference--at a family, community, national, and global level. And we pledge to spend every dollar wisely so that hundreds and thousands of children may benefit from quality education.
Iqra Fund works in remote tribal regions at the "end of the road," where few--if any--education or community health resources exist for girls and women. We envision a world where all children can receive a quality education, and we take great pride in executing financial efficiency, accountability to donors, and overall transparency.
How exactly does your dollar impact the girls and women who need it most?
Take a look:
- $5,000 Provides a girl with a scholarship for her entire high school education
- $4,000 Supports a mothers' and daughters' community health education workshop
- $3,000 Funds a teacher training workshop for local community teachers
- $2,000 Establishes a village mobile library
- $1,000 Sends a deserving girl with a one-year scholarship to high school
- $500 Supplies a village preschool with age-appropriate literacy materials
- $250 Supports a classroom of girls with their school uniforms and notebooks
- $100 Sends a girl to primary school for one year.
- $50 Supplies a classroom teacher with her resource books
- $1 Puts a locally published book into the hands of one very excited girl
 We're preparing for a busy summer of programs in Morocco and Pakistan, and we look forward to sharing our first year of programming successes with you--with detailed reports from our scholarship programs, community education initiatives, and our community health workshops.
Stay tuned for stories and reports from the end of the road!
