Helping Communities Shape Their Own Future Through Education


Barakat in the News

16 May, 2008 - Our Video Debut

Take a trip with us to Barakat’s work in Afghanistan, India and Pakistan. See the faces of the women and children we serve and the landscape and colors of the countries we work in. Catch a glimpse of the busy streets of Pakistan, the white mountains of Afghanistan, the eternal rivers of India. See what we do on the ground in formal and informal education settings and learn that our costs are small indeed:

*$65 to send a child to a Barakat school for a year;
*$40 to enable one girl to attend a Literacy Course for a year;
*$550 to sponsor a girl in Afghanistan to continue her education for a year; and,
*$1000 to run a Literacy Course for 25-40 girls for an entire year.
