What are your goals and intentions for this fellowship program?

One of my key intentions is to tackle polio vaccine denial in rural Pakistan, which I’ve already worked on through ground-level awareness efforts and campaign support.

Through this fellowship, I hope to:

Learn how to frame more effective advocacy around public health, especially vaccine resistance

Strengthen my voice to represent rural youth and underserved communities

Collaborate with other young advocates across South Asia to share solutions, not just problems

I’m really excited for the journey ahead and looking forward to learning from this diverse and passionate group
