ASIA LEGACY FOUNDATION
Food fills a stomach for a day. Education opens a future for life.
We help children from families in need in Pakistan access education, so they can build a future with greater opportunity, dignity and choice. Founded in memory of my mother, Asia, this foundation carries forward her love for her children and her courage in standing up for them.
Give a Child More Than Help For Today
A meal can ease hunger today. A small gift of money can meet an immediate need. That help matters. But when a family has to ask again tomorrow, the circumstances keeping them in hardship may remain unchanged.
Education offers a way to change those circumstances over time. It helps children develop knowledge, confidence and skills, opening doors that poverty can otherwise keep closed.
At Asia Legacy Foundation, our focus is helping families overcome the costs that keep children out of school. We want children who might otherwise have to ask for help on the streets to have the opportunity to learn, grow and build a different future.
Help today matters. Opportunity for tomorrow matters too.

Give a Child More Than Help For Today
A Personal Message From Abdur Rehman
My mother, Asia, spent much of her life in a marriage shaped by control and abuse. She stayed with my father for the sake of her children, feeling she had no real choice and nowhere else to go.
She carried so much so that we could keep going. Her own happiness was often put aside while she tried to protect and care for us.
After her divorce, I saw her at her happiest. For a short while, she had the freedom to live with a peace she had been denied for so long.
Then her life was taken. She was shot and killed in an act of revenge by her son-in-law at the time. She had stood up for her children. Her life ended in violence, but her courage and the love she gave us remain.
I do not want her legacy to end with how she died. I want it to continue through what she stood for: protecting her children and wanting them to have a better life.
That is why I am building Asia Legacy Foundation. We begin with education, helping children from families in need access opportunities that can give them greater independence and choice as they grow.
My hope is also to encourage men and women to learn about dignity, respect and the harm caused by control and abuse. No one should have to endure what my mother endured. No child should have to lose a parent to violence.
Her sacrifices shaped my life. Through this foundation, I want her love to keep changing lives.
