DoPeace.org was founded by Dr. Shahid Ahmed in Pennsylvania in 2014 with the intention of providing education to the children in the slums around the world. Dr. Ahmed grew up in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and has the first hand knowledge of the acute problems in the slums, particularly the abject poverty and lack of resources for childrens education. In 1995, Dr. Ahmed lived in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, where he taught at Dar-es-Salaam Technical College before coming to Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, where he completed MS and Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering. Dr. Ahmed obtained MBA from The Wharton School at University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, and taught as Adjunct Professor at the Systems Engineering Department at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Ahmed founded Princeton Information Technical Center (now PITC Institute) in 1998 as a post-secondary career school in technology and health care. He is currently the President of PITC Institute, and Chairman of DoPeace.org. Dr. Ahmed has developed a low cost, effective and rapid implementation K-12 grade STEM educational model, using cutting edge-technology and optimum use of resources. He passionately believes that this model is an instrument to provide education to the masses in the slums around the world.
