Northern Pakistan once had almost no access to schools or healthcare.
Today Under the Aga Khan Development Network:
• 140+ schools
• 40,000+ students (≈50% girls)
• 60+ health centres.
Faith is not only belief - it is action that transforms lives.

The capitalist countries of the world, which played the biggest role in global warming, are still enjoying life, while we are suffering. Our GilgitBaltistan Baltistan is trapped in severe climate change.

How unfortunate. We're doomed!

[Ibex Media Network @IbexMedianetwrk]

The GLOF-II project, launched to protect communities in Gilgit-Baltistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from the dangers of glacial lake outburst floods, aimed to expand early warning systems, strengthen flood-resilient infrastructure, and empower vulnerable groups, particularly women. Funded with billions of rupees, it promised weather stations, flood sensors, reforestation, and livelihood support to safeguard lives and livelihoods.

However, recent reports allege mismanagement and corruption involving the Government of Gilgit-Baltistan and partner NGOs. Funds intended for disaster preparedness were reportedly diverted or misused, with early warning systems left incomplete or non-functional. This has left thousands of residents at risk as glacier melt and extreme weather events intensify.

In this video, we examine the financial irregularities, gaps in oversight, and the urgent steps needed to restore accountability and ensure communities receive the protection they were promised.

I love Chai and I love people who love Chai, and I love when someone comes to make Chai and says "Chai?"

What do you do when your motivation is down in dumps? Like, absolutely down.

[Uzma Kiran @Ukirron]

Umm.
Do the hard work, set realistic expectations, and be better prepared for whatever life throws your way.

[Raj Shamani @rajshamani]

Pick a goal. Visualise it. Work for it like a maniac. And believe in it so much that failure doesn’t even cross your mind.
