Our Stories

School in Sistan Baluchestan

We are pleased to report that we have completed construction of another school in Iran thanks to the generosity of Tahbazof Family Foundation.

This school serves the children of the village of Laadi in Daelgan County, Sistan Baluchestan.

The province of Sistan and Baluchestan is one of the most underdeveloped, desolate, and poorest of Iran’s provinces. It has been hit by drought for the past decades and the village’s access to water is only for two hours a day. The area’s scorching summer temperatures reach 120+ F, and, in winter the desert sand storms combined with freezing winds make life almost intolerable.

This region is also a route for drug trafficking activities and a scene for organized crime which make life for its residents harsher than one can possibly imagine.

This school will be a safe haven for many children for years to come.
