By 2009, CAI had successfully established 130 schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan, which provide (or have provided) education to over 51,000 students, with an emphasis on girls’ education. Current projects focus on school building, scholarships, teachers, public health, women’s vocational centers and literacy centers, as global outreach.
