Meet the people making it happen

ASiya javed

Founder 

Asiya is the founder of Change Makers of Pakistan. After she spent 5 months volunteering at a school and orphanage in Surkhet Nepal, Asiya came back to the US and wanted to give back to her birthplace.

She started reaching out to various organizations in Pakistan to find a partner. One morning she realized how inspired and hopeful she felt after having met so many people making a difference in Pakistan. That’s how Change Makers of Pakistan was started. On Pakistan’s 70th independence day last year, the first Change Maker’s video was published.

Asiya wants to turn Change Makers of Pakistan into more than a social media name. She wants to create future change makers and empower the current change makers.
