Kashmir Education Initiative will enable access to enriching educational opportunities, provide financial assistance to those in need, and sustain a supportive peer and mentor community. KEI considers education to be the primary imperative in the empowerment and development of individuals, institutions and communities. The KEI team will join forces with parents, the community and like-minded organizations to help students develop the skills required to become independent and productive thinkers and actors, to be successful, and to contribute responsibly in a global community.
