TO OUR<br />
WORK<br />
An education<br />
directly affects<br />
one’s chance to<br />
earn a living,<br />
allowing one to<br />
provide for their<br />
family. It also offers<br />
an alternative to<br />
joining extremist<br />
groups. <strong>MDF</strong><br />
creates those<br />
opportunities. Zahid’s Story<br />
Zahid Khan is one of 5 siblings and an<br />
extended family of 13. With<br />
increased terrorism in their village, he<br />
was forced to discontinue his<br />
education and his father’s shop, the<br />
only source of the family income,<br />
was closed. Luck would bring this<br />
family to an area outside of<br />
Islamabad where starting a life with<br />
so little was incredibly challenging.<br />
They tried to enroll the children in<br />
several schools, but could not pay<br />
the enrollment fees or meet the<br />
entrance standards that require<br />
English and Urdu. Zahid was from a<br />
region that did not speak Urdu and<br />
he did not have enough previous<br />
education to learn English. In<br />
desperation, Zahid’s father enrolled<br />
him in an Islamic religious school, but<br />
after learning about the <strong>Marshall</strong><br />
<strong>Direct</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> school nearby, they<br />
opted to attend this school instead.<br />
Now Zahid can speak and write Urdu<br />
and he and his siblings are all getting<br />
an education at one of <strong>Marshall</strong><br />
<strong>Direct</strong> <strong>Fund</strong>’s schools.
Message From The Founder<br />
“Don’t be afraid of opposition. Remember, a kite rises against,<br />
not with the wind.” – Hamilton Wright<br />
The whole world is watching as revolution<br />
spreads in the Middle East and South Asia.<br />
People are demanding change. They want<br />
freedom, jobs, civil liberties, and schools. They<br />
want opportunity for all, not just the privileged<br />
few. This hope for a better life is precisely what<br />
we see with the “everyman”, “everywoman”,<br />
and “everychild” we have the opportunity to<br />
work with in Pakistan.<br />
Drones attacked parts of northwest Pakistan on<br />
average every three days in 2010. As U.S. drones<br />
and Pakistan’s Army attacks northwestern<br />
regions, extremists move to urban areas of<br />
Pakistan to take cover among the masses. There<br />
they have combined forces with Punjabi<br />
extremists to wage war against civilians,<br />
policemen and politicians on the streets of<br />
major cities. In 2010 alone, terrorists murdered<br />
2,913 Pakistani people and injured 5,824. The<br />
extremist groups continue to do most of their<br />
recruitment in the urban areas. The attempted<br />
attack in Times Square by Faisal Shahzad signals<br />
that Pakistani extremist groups’ ambitions may<br />
be growing.<br />
At our annual Aspen fundraiser at Shelly and<br />
Golda Friedstein’s beautiful home last summer,<br />
His Excellency Ambassador Husain Haqqani<br />
said, "What <strong>MDF</strong> is trying to do…will be the<br />
guarantee of our security. Young people can<br />
be brought up on the idea of hope. Every<br />
young Pakistani child who gets to go to school,<br />
gets an opportunity in life. This child becomes<br />
one more recruit denied to Al Qaeda and the<br />
Taliban." In 2010 we enrolled nearly 300 children<br />
in school, fed them, clothed them, and gave<br />
them hope. We improved relations between<br />
the people of Pakistan and the U.S. via Global<br />
Kid Connect, our partner classroom project that<br />
served over 100 children in the U.S. and<br />
Pakistan. We partnered with local NGO, IKI<br />
Foundation, to strengthen their vocational<br />
education program and will be working<br />
together to launch morel centers in 2011.<br />
The vocational training programs will focus on<br />
female entrepreneurs in the communities in<br />
which we work. We will provide these women<br />
with job skills, business training, and link them to<br />
financial services and markets with which they<br />
will be able to earn income and help lift their<br />
families out of poverty. A percentage of the<br />
profits from the products they retail will be<br />
dedicated to the schools and training centers<br />
to support long-term sustainability.<br />
I wish to take this moment to thank our<br />
supporters. You are game changers in the field<br />
of international security. Your mission is a<br />
challenging one, but you carry on knowing it is<br />
the only way to build a more just and secure<br />
world. As Hamilton Wright reminds us, all<br />
worthwhile achievements take place in a<br />
challenging environment. It is the challenge,<br />
and the human will to overcome it, that makes<br />
great achievements possible.<br />
