Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Education, health care, and economic opportunity counter the influence of extremists in Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries by weakening their base of community support. Help us build a world in which the appeal of lives lived in dignity, opportunity, and hope triumphs over the allure of extremism and its use of terrorist tactics.

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

Promotion of grass-roots development projects in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and other countries allows the appeal of lives lived in dignity, opportunity, and hope to triumph over the allure of extremism and its use of terrorist tactics.

Project Message

Had we remained engaged in Afghanistan [after the Soviets left], investing in education, health and economic development, the world would be a very different place today.
- Charlie Wilson, Texas Congressman, 1973-1997
