I collaborated with Zahra on ‘Sustainable Sultanabad’, funded by USAid, a project by Shehri that successfully established 50 kitchen gardens, two school rooftop farms, and trained volunteers. Zahra excelled at community mobilization, developing culturally relevant materials that earned her the trust of the migrant community, making the project a success.

It was an honor working with Zahra for the project 2nd Life Pakistan – a collaboration between Unilever Pakistan and Seed Ventures to mitigate plastic waste issues in Pakistan. Zahra worked in the capacity of a mentor and was a through and through professional throughout the entire project. She showcased in depth knowledge regarding the subject matter, and the difference in our mentee after her mentorship was quite evident.
