My motivation for joining Catalyst 2030 stems from a deep commitment to creating sustainable and impactful solutions for mental health and suicide prevention. Having witnessed and experienced the devastating effects of mental health challenges firsthand, I founded The Project Suicide to address stigma, promote help-seeking behavior, and provide accessible psychological services. Catalyst 2030’s mission of fostering collaboration and systemic change aligns perfectly with my vision of making mental health care a priority in underserved communities. By joining this global network of changemakers, I aim to contribute to innovative solutions, learn from diverse perspectives, and amplify my efforts to create a mentally healthier and more inclusive world.
Over the past 3 years, I have been leading a project focused on promoting mental health and suicide awareness in Pakistan and around the world. I discovered that this aligns with one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which led to my participation in the "Under the Starry Sky" Program by the World Federation of United Nations Associations, UNA Norway, and SpareBank Norway. This experience further fueled my passion for addressing the UN SDGs, prompting me to pursue a master's degree in Interdisciplinary Approaches to Research and Education at the Learning Planet Institute, Universite Paris Cite, France. This program brings together students from diverse backgrounds to collaborate on projects that tackle the UN SDGs. My dedication to sustainability and improving the world is what motivates me to be part of Catalyst Now.
