Fundraising

Thank you for your interest in fundraising for Central Asia Institute (CAI). Fundraising is an important part of our mission to promote and support community based education, especially for girls, in remote regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan. You can make a difference in the lives of thousands of children.Over 150 million children in the world (age 5-14) are deprived of education due to poverty, slavery, sexual discrimination, racial discrimination, racism and religious intolerance. The cost of educating each child in the developing world is about $1 per month per child. Several global studies show that educating a girl to at least a fifth grade education level, is the most significant factor in impoverished societies to:

1. Decrease Infant Mortality Rates.
2. Decrease / Stabilize Population Growth.
3. Significantly improve the basic quality of health and life quality over a generation.

The scope of the fundraiser is your choice and we will assist in making it a successful event. We will be happy to send you additional promotional materials to have available during your fundraiser, however we do not provide logistical support for fundraising events.

We provide Fundraising Ideas for organizing fundraisers, and CAI Publications with history, updates, and stories.

You may download high resolution photos, use direct quotes from articles, or use other information you find useful, but please copyright Central Asia Institute when doing so.

We can also send you a fundraising kit that includes the above. Please email info@ikat.org.

Below are some current fundraisers where you can support our mission, or examples of successful fundraisers that communities performed in the past:

• Brookdale Community College
• Mountain to Mountain
• Feed The Tribe

We sincerely thank you for your help to raise funds for the education of the children of Afghanistan and Pakistan!
