The Center for International Settlement and Development (CISD) has evolved from PEN Foundation International. It was created to benefit tribal and nomadic people. As a former teacher in tribal nomadic region of Iran, I witnessed first hand how the tribal nomads had been left behind or isolated.
CISD is an advanced organization that better addresses the needs of all the stakeholders. There was a tremendous learning curve with regard to funding, resources, and structuring of nonprofit NGOs following PFI. This organization has grown as a result of countless studies and interfacing with the UN bodies. It aligns its missions closely with UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
It is the overarching goal of CISD to accurately and fairly document interactions between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples in order to preserve cultures and livelihoods. This forum in particular is meant to help preserve the pride and way of life evident in the Baloch nation, and to foster within its women and girl's a sense of community and empowerment. This site should mobilize, unite and educate everyone involved, so that the women can forever be a strong part of the Baloch nation.Thank you for your involvement, and we at CISD look forward to getting to know you and your thoughts!
