GLOBAL FRIENDS (PAKISTAN) http://www.globalfriends.org.pk/
Global Friends’ mission is “to give voice to the voiceless by creating awareness about their rights & duties and serving the underprivileged of the society to create opportunities that lead to socio-economic uplift of them at individual and societal level.” Global Friends has many projects, and one of them is to incentivise teachers to continue teaching. Teaching staff are often underpaid and when they leave the school to work elsewhere, the students’ learning are affected. Bras donated to these teachers will hopefully make them realise that their efforts are appreciated and have not gone unnoticed by other women around the world.
Another project that they are undertaking right now is to “improve learning environment of rural schools in Northern Pakistan by building toilets, play grounds, facilities of drinking water to those schools where such facilities are not available at all.” Books, school shoes, school bags, stationery, colouring materials, notebooks and and other school supplies are much needed by them.
You can help them too by sending bras (sizes 32A-40DD) and school supplies directly to them at:
