Why the Citizens Foundation?
When planning this great adventure, Babar Suleman knew he wanted to use the opportunity to raise funds for a cause. The question was, which one? With so many amazing organizations doing work around the world, Babar narrowed his focus to an organization focused on education and women's rights, and a cause that particularly emphasized education of girls and women. With this goal in mind, the choice was clear: The Citizens Foundation.
TCF has made it its mission to support the building of civil society in Pakistan, and promote gender equality by providing scientific and balanced education for underprivileged children in rural Pakistan. For the past seven years, Babar and his family had supported a local chapter of TCF: The Seeds of Learning. Having experienced the great work done by both the local chapter and TCF, Babar chose to align the journey with TCF with hopes of expanding education across Pakistan.
