Small assistance toward a focused aim:
At the girls' school in the village of Ghari Habibibullah, Pakistan, 250 students were killed, more than 500 injured, and the school was completely demolished. Similar catastrophes happened in villages all over the region...
Girls' schools were often beacons of hope and implicit progress in a region dominated by fundamentalist Islam, and rebuilding these schools is likely to be at the bottom of the political agenda. So Working Assets has launched a campaign to support rebuilding girls' schools in Pakistan and India--and we're asking for your help to make sure that this tragedy does not mean girls in the region will lose access to educational opportunities. With local materials and labor, your donations will go a long way.
You can contribute $5 or $10 here.
