Experience with MAWA (Social Welfare Organization)
I began my professional journey with MAWA, a social welfare organization committed to the development and empowerment of tribal communities in Pakistan. I joined the organization’s Education Department, where I played a key role in promoting educational opportunities for students from underprivileged tribal regions.
During my tenure, I worked extensively across Punjab, serving as the President of the Pashtun Student Community in the province. In this capacity, I guided thousands of students in accessing free education opportunities across various universities in Punjab. Over the course of four years, I successfully facilitated the admission of 5,000+ students into higher education institutions through ex-FATA reserved seats.
To further support these efforts, I created and managed various social media platforms, including Facebook pages and WhatsApp groups, which continue to serve as hubs of guidance and support for new students. These platforms operate under my ongoing supervision, with many of my juniors now actively helping students in need.
My key responsibilities and achievements included:


Dealing with university administrations for student admissions and support


Leading and mentoring students from tribal areas across Punjab


Coordinating with the FATA Secretariat to ensure the proper execution of student quota policies


Engaging with the Ministry of SAFRON to resolve student-related issues and enhance access to educational resources


I remain actively involved with MAWA, continuing to mentor and guide students as part of my long-term commitment to educational advocacy and community development.
