Andeisha Farid, Founder and Executive Director of AFCECO
Andeisha Farid spent her childhood living in refugee camps outside of Afghanistan; her parents settled at a camp in Iran, where there was no school while she stayed in Pakistan and lived in a hostel. While studying in the refugee camp, she began to tutor Afghan widows and children who had no other place to learn. In 2002, Andeisha moved to Islamabad to continue her education at the university level and began working as a teacher and later as administrator and spokesperson for an Afghan school. She was inspired to collect funds for a safe haven for the Afghan street children in Islamabad who could not attend school. After building a reputation she became known to CharityHelp International (CHI), a non-governmental organization. http://www.charityhelp.org/chi_new/ With the assistance from CHI, she was able to open her first orphanage in Pakistan. At the age of 24, she founded Afghan Child Education and Care Organization, (AFCECO). http://www.afceco.org/

Today, AFCECO runs eleven orphanages in Afghanistan and refugee camps in Pakistan with 600 children of diverse ethnicities and has employed nearly 200 people who are mostly widows and university students.

In 2008, Andeisha enrolled in the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women Training Program, http://www2.goldmansachs.com/citizenship/10000women/index.html where she was able to improve her leadership and management skills.

Andeisha was honored in 2010 by Global Leadership Award of Vital Voices http://www.vitalvoices.org/ at Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.

Brian Williams of NBC Nightly News presented Andeisha and AFCECO in the "Making a Difference" report in November of 2009. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8ZqgBqULao
