Who we are
Partnership in Academics and Development (PAD) serves in Central
Asia and the Middle East to empower society through transformational community
development in the all realms of education and rural community
development. The programs for the community is tailored in each
community to their specific needs in cooperation with local, national and
community leaders. We believe that each community is unique and has given
strengths and assets that if enhanced can make a long-term difference for the next generation
WHat we do
PAD has been active for almost twenty years. It has
worked with universities to teach English, business, ethics and
governance. It has developed micro-enterprise programmes for women,
it has provided education for impoverished children, after-school care programs
to augment what the children are getting at school. Additionally, PAD has
provided toilets, wells and other needed items for schools to ensure the
quality of life and care for children.Our commitment is to support education in many forms and our belief that each
community and person has unique and special qualities that if enhanced or
strengthened through education causes this person or community to thrive. They are taught in ways that allow them to teach others to do the same! Also,
we are looking for ways to improve the support systems that give good health
and welfare.
