In September 2006, through a donation from The PEACE Fund, Give2Asia was able to give $10,000 to the Tameer-e-Millat Foundation for an educational project which would develop 100 audio stories that would be used to supplement education at 50 primary schools located in the Islamabad Capital Territory. Audio cassette players were provided to teachers, as well as guidelines on how to use the stories and training sessions for the teachers themselves.

So far, 104 stories have been developed and dubbed into 650 audio cassettes. Cassette players, guidelines and training sessions were to be provided to teachers by the end of February 2007.

These stories are used for students ages 5-12 and cover a wide range of topics, from good manners and hygiene to stories about other planets and continents of the world. There are also several series of stories that deal with morals.
