Also, a member of UN Women in Pakistan, Momina has not only a beautiful voice but is an actual beauty and a kind-hearted soul. Momina is a strong supporter for education and says, “No nation can progress or prosper without the strong foundation of education. If the population is educated, issues like human rights and women empowerment will automatically be aided because the people will be more aware of the benefits that come with them.”
Shahzad Roy
Shehzad Roy is a popular Pakistani singer, a social worker and a humanitarian to serve as a renown and commanding face for UNODC’s cause. He is the President and founder of Zindagi Trust, a non-government charitable organization that strives to improve the quality of education available to the average Pakistani.
