Program Profile of Agah Walidain
Agah Walidain (AW-IP) in Urdu means Informed Parents. Focusing on children between the ages of Birth to 3 years, the basic premise of the project is that development of children begins from the time of conception. AW-IP came into existence based on two important factors i.e. extensive research in one part of the world and dire need of communities in another. The project was created in the United States and has successfully operated for many years, impacting countless families. The founders of this initiative visited Pakistan in 2007 and felt that families from the far flung areas of Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) could benefit greatly with a similar ECD program. This was eventually realized with the inception of Agah Walidain in the city of Gilgit and in the village of Gich. The first year pilot has proven to be very successful, as indicated by an external evaluation and the increased demand for the program in other parts of the GB.
