About This Project

Shining Light International works to help engage, equip, and empower marginalized people in northern Pakistan by transforming rural Pakistani communities through education, training, and community development. Shining Light International's goal is to reduce illiteracy-especially among girls and women, to alleviate poverty through job skills training and community development, and to provide a means of gaining hope for a brighter future in the most remote regions of northern Pakistan through leadership development programs.

Shining Light International relies on financial support from organizations and individuals worldwide. As a US based Nonprofit Organization, all of our programs are possible through the generous support of our donors. Without this help, the lives of many undeserved people in northern Pakistan would be severely affected. Our partners are rays of hope, bringing the shining light of hope for a brighter future to the people of northern Pakistan.

If the Foundation does not use the donation in the way the donor prefers, the Foundation will not return the donation to the donor.
