What is MeherGarh doing for the people of Swat and how can we help?

 

MG Foundation has a sister organization in Pakistan called MeherGarh: A Center for Learning. MeherGarh is responding with two initiatives to the violence in Swat. We are partnering with MeherGarh on the second initiative. First, MeherGarh initiated the Amankaar Tehrik, (Movement of the peace workers) an awareness raising campaign for youth and general citizens, to help analyze the complicated situation in Swat. Amankaar Tehrik formulated a clear charter of demands for the government of Pakistan, encouraging it to protect its citizens from violent non-state actors. It is also organizing a series of peaceful citizens’ gatherings to mail letters on their stance to the President, Prime Minister, Chief of Army Staff and Chief Justice of Pakistan. Second, since there are hundreds of thousands of internally displaced people from Swat, there is a desperate need for temporary accommodations for them. More information...
