Dildar says that without the loan this would never have been possible.

EMMA KERR
Thanks to the Charity Emma was able to complete an MSc in Development Studies at the London School of Oriental and African Studies. She really enjoyed the course and graduated in 2013 with Distinction, which made her very proud. She has since started as a Project Officer at Transparency International UK’s Defence and Security Programme, working on coordinating research into levels of corruption risk in the defence sector worldwide, and would not have secured this job without her MSc. She is very grateful to the Charity for helping her on this new and exciting career path.
