Indigenous Communities

SSDF is a true advocate of the rights and justice to indigenous communities. IADM, a project of SSDF has been actively catering indigenous communities through their special scholarship fund (Master Sultan Ali Samarkand Academic Scholarship). Under this scholarship scheme, students of indigenous communities like Gilgit Baltistan, Swat, ParaChinar have been given the opportunity to receive higher education, receiving up to 100% scholarship.

SSDF has multiple success stories of the members of these communities that have been financially thriving after receiving their higher education degrees. The pivotal need remains the same; justified opportunities for these community members in helping them to be financially independent.
