In the village of Barg-e-Matal, which is located along the "heroin highway" in Nuristan Province, years of fighting has decimated development efforts. Not a single school has been built in the province since 2009. 

This is only one of the 31 projects CAI is committed to raising funds for this spring. Help CAI build a more peaceful, sustainable, and enlightened future. Help us build hope. 

We have already raised over $100,000, 

but there is still a long way to go.

Read about our projects in Footsteps, CAI's campaign newsletter. 

It takes a community working together, sometimes against formidable odds, to make any school succeed.

CAI schools are not architectural wonders - they are basic yet solid buildings, designed for function. Yet their stories are complex, laden with successes and setbacks, struggles and victories. 

And every project CAI has selected as a beneficiary of this capital campaign is also the story of a community that needs our help.

CAI's Pennies for Peace program is excited to announce a worldwide campaign in celebration of the 14th annual "World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development", on May 21, 2015.
