Some organizations and people are:
CARE- which built and operated schools including for girls in troubled areas.
BRAC- which was a Bangladeshi run project in Afghan provinces, this succeeded because the villagers would protect the employees of the project. It was important to get support form the local mullahs and negotiate what subject girls would study and use Pakistani text books rather than Afghan government texts.
UNFPA- supports the work of the UN population fund
Sakena said "If people are educated then women will not be abused or tortured"
Levy- helped to organize and pay for poor families to keep their children in schools
WFP and UNICEF- the WFP is the world food program and they distributed food to rural schools where the children would get a free meal during the day.
George McGovern also helped with this.
