I started my education in a public school, whose condition was as wretched as a slum. With little or no infrastructure, we were never fortunate to relish the basic needs of education. The worse the scenario was, the higher was my commitment to accomplish something big in life. From the very beginning until today, I have studied solely on scholarships. Debates, essay writing and advocating UN’s Sustainable Development Goals were my essence. Youth led activities and opportunities that would enhance youth skills were never missed by me at any cost. Living away from home and belonging to a financially crippled family was obstructing my way of proving to be the best at any cost. The higher had been the obstacle, the higher has been my effort to evade it. Circumstances have compelled me to contribute to society on my own behalf.

 

A country so diverse like Pakistan, I believe, democracy is the most feasible form of government. Back in my college days, I presented my idea to the provincial government Khyber Pukhtunkhwa to initiate a Child Youth Assembly/Parliament for the children of my province. It is a simulation of state assembly, where children would be polished regarding the democratic norms.

 

From child abuse to gender discrimination and from non-political awareness to political awareness, I have always held philanthropic work very close to my heart. I am an active National as well as International UN Volunteer. I am the Education Youth Ambassador Pakistan. I am currently serving as the President of “THE” Society International (Together for Health and Education) - Youth Wing, which is a youth-led international organization working in 27 countries, established in 2014. Its main goal is to engage the young people in achieving the UN’s SDGs and global dignity.
