Al-Iman and EKTA collaborate to help raise funds for building 141 schools in Pakistan, dedicated to the innocent victims of the terrorist attack in Peshawar on December 16, 2014


Unthinkable terrorism

Imagine sending your child to school in the morning and collecting his executed body in the afternoon. This became the horrific reality of 141 mothers on 16th December 2014 in Peshawar, Pakistan, when more than 141 people, mainly children and teachers were brutally killed in a horrific terrorist attack on a school in Peshawar, Pakistan. 

Schools for Peace

In keeping with the value accorded to education by our institution, Al-Iman (the Smith College Muslim Students Association) and EKTA (the Smith College South Asia Students Organization) believe in the power of education to combat extremism in Pakistan.

We believe that the best way to honour the fallen children is to spread the education as far and wide as possible. 

That is why Al-Iman and EKTA have joined the 141Schools.Org community, to help raise funds for The Citizens Foundation (TCF) initiative "141 Schools For Peace" - a collective global mission to build 141 schools across Pakistan, in memory of the 141 victims of the attack on Dec 16, 2014.

Building Hope!

If you believe in fighting terrorism with education, help our campaign by donating to our cause. Remember, every cent counts! Help us ensure that the inks of our 141 martyrs pens never dry out.

Contribute to our LaunchGood campaign and help us reach our goal !!
