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.
The Fund’s current focus is education, health and devleopment projects in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and other countries, especially projects for girls and women. Educated, healthy mothers are more likely to raise sons who will build rather than destroy.

This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc).
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.
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.
