Support Education and Literacy in South Asia

Barakat supports local, innovative organizations that are making a real difference in the places they work. We establish a close, long-lasting relationship with each of our partners. These relationships allow our partners to focus their energies on helping more people and making their programs more effective.

Barakat's work is concentrated in the South Asian countries of India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. We are guided by our belief in the strength of a united South Asia. All three countries share historic, geographic, linguistic and cultural traditions. Despite this, there are few organizations that are working in all of them because their tumultuous past has found no resolution thus far. Barakat's work is a step towards opening channels of communication across borders as individuals from all three countries unite to realize their vision of a developed South Asia.
