Kainat was one of the first Dawood Global Foundation "Educate a Girl" recipients in Pakistan the year she had been shot alongside Malala Yousafzai in the assassination attempt. Funding had been given for her schooling and today she is studying in the UK sponsored by former UK Prime Minister Gordon Browne.
She was visiting her hometown of Swat this winter when not one but two earthquakes hit. In coordination with Dawood Gloabl Foundation and with the support of donors such as yourselves and even Global Giving itself, funds were raised to send 875 blankets, 700 bottles of water and 42 boxes of biscuits to earthquake relief areas. Kainat, along with her parents and brother distributed these supplies in her home of Minghas Swat, as well as went to four neighbouring towns - Malok Abad, Odigram, Faiza Abad, Saidu Sharif, and Kokarai - to ensure the most vulnerable of those affected by the earthquake - widows, orphans and vulnerable women - received these supplies.
She ensured full documentation and photography of this whole process and there are currently two albums on facebook detailing this journey.
Thank you all for your support. These are still areas with great need so please do spread the word and join us in helping those most vulnerable.
