Dear Friends,
Thank you for donating to support the education of 150 students at a TCF Primary School in Pakistan. With your help, Friends of The Citizens Foundation has become a permanent member of the Global Giving community and has also won two bonus rewards worth £500 each, bringing the total prize money to £1,000.
All of you have demonstrated your dedication and commitment to educating the disadvantaged youth of Pakistan and tackling illiteracy head-on. Well done to you all - it is only with support on this scale that FTCF is able to grow so successfully.
As of April 2009, TCF has 600 purpose-built school units across 63 locations in Pakistan with 80,000 students – 50% girls. Our schools are located in urban slums and rural villages, and the children we teach come from some of the most disadvantaged segments of Pakistani society, children who would otherwise not receive an education. The means-tested fees we charge cover only 16% of our costs, the balance 84% being met from donations such as yours.
Please don’t let this be the last time that you donate to this project – our target is to support one TCF school for a year which at present costs £8,800. To date, we have raised £3,286 on Global Giving and with your help, we are certain that we can meet our goal.
To become a long-term supporter and join FTCF in the battle against illiteracy, why not educate two children at a TCF school with a regular donation of £12/month? Your regular contribution will help children in Pakistan to realise their ambitions and dreams through a quality education.

Thank you for supporting FTCF and helping to make the children of Pakistan agents of positive change.
Warm Regards, Abeeha Khalid Fundraising Officer
