Scholarship Winner 2008

One of the best moments of my life was when I qualified for ZSSP. I have always been passionate about my education and had big dreams. The day I received ZSSP, I wept tears of joy
for I could see my dreams turning into reality!
ZSSP helped me to become a pharmacist. After graduation, I worked at Abbott Industries and Nestle Pakistan for a few years and now I own and manage my pharmacy. Currently, I am doing my MS in Drug Discovery from Gachon University South Korea.
As an ardent believer in the power of quality education, I planned on building schools in remote areas of Pakistan. I have started my first school in my village a few months ago. On my return from South Korea, I will focus all my energies to expand this project and benefit maximum people. Apart from all these things, I am also doing online business on Amazon and own 3 online stores in USA.
I want to share the story of my journey, which started with ZSSP, because I want girls to know that they are second to none. With hard work and dedication, they too can achieve their goals. I want someone to look up to me and say, ‘I did not give up because of you!’
Live, Love & Inspire.
