"The mission of trust is to boost up the morale and life standard of the students directly affected by terrorism in Swat and Waziristan and... restart the life circle."[5]

RDT always tried to create awareness among people about the issues, and gave opportunities to students so they could study in a calm atmosphere and look forward to their promising future.[12] Besides this, RDT also executed campaigns in order to create awareness.

Anti-toy gun campaign

Toy guns are seen in the streets of Karachi. Mak raised his voice through RDT against toy guns as they train children for violence.[13][14][15] In festivals, the sale of these guns increase. They are frequently used as a toy by the children of Karachi.[16][17][18] RDT lifted up the banners at Press Club to stop toy guns and to save children.[19] In an interview, Mak told the BBC, "If you are buying the gun, you are training five-year-olds to put a bullet in the chamber and fire shots. After using the toy gun, a child can easily use a real one."[20]
