The Citizens Foundation (TCF) is a professionally managed, non-profit organization set up in 1995 by a group of citizens concerned with the dismal state of education in Pakistan. It is now one of Pakistan’s leading organizations in the field of formal education. As of 2010, TCF has established 660 purpose-built school units nationwide with an enrollment of 92,000 students. TCF encourages female enrollment and strives to maintain a 50% female ratio in most of its campuses. TCF has a full female faculty of 4,800 members. TCF also has a dedicated Teacher Training Center in Karachi and Mansehra for the ongoing training of its faculty and provides logistical support to all its teachers. About 7,000 jobs have been created in communities in which TCF operates.

Rubia’s mission is to develop economic opportunities through craft heritage, to support education and to promote health and well being for Afghan women and their families. Rubia is a long-term collaboration between two organizations; Rubia, Inc. a New Hampshire based non-profit organization, and RODA (Rubia Organization for the Development of Afghanistan) an Afghan registered NGO. Together the partners work to develop and implement innovative programs for women and children at the grass roots in Afghanistan. Rubia’s programs address poverty through livelihoods, education, and health. Named for a red root used to dye yarn, Rubia is creating new traditions in textiles by translating the heritage and skills of Afghan women into sustainable livelihoods. All aspects of the development and implementation of Rubia’s programs are rooted Afghanistan, using community members at all levels to help build the economy and capacity in their home region. Rubia is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
