There was a time when I watched Amal's video, applied, and got selected. Now I have achieved Ma Sha Allah more than I can dream of. I am a new person and proud of my new self. Thank you Amal 💖

There were 7 final candidates for the 17th scale post. Other interviews were going 15 minutes long and mine lasted 35 minutes. Those most beautiful 35 minutes of my life lead to my job because of my fellowship preparation.

For me, Amal Fellowship was primarily about learning the true meaning of leadership in practice. You hear the word leadership everywhere, but you experience it for the first time in your fellowship.

Amal was my journey to being an extrovert. Having remained an introvert throughout my life, I had been following Amal’s work since it started and finally finished my fellowship in 2018 with my lifelong dream of becoming an extrovert.

I got my first job at GC University because of the thank-you email I wrote in my fellowship. A male candidate was required but they selected me because of my positive energy in my email. Forever grateful to this institute.

I applied for the same OG-2 job at SBP 4 times already and always got rejected in the final interview. This time with my learnings from the fellowship, my increased confidence, and better preparation, I aced it and got my dream job. Amal is love.

My fellowship at Amal was a family outside my home quite literally. I experienced for the first time in my life that my teachers can be my friends and I undertook my learning journey hand-in-hand with my facilitators and fellows.

I never knew what was mentorship before my Amal Fellowship, and got the most out of this amazing relationship through my time at Amal. Now I have a strong network of friends and fellows.

I’ve made wrong decisions in life thinking about others, when they don’t even care about me. I was shy for my own good and Amal helped me grow beyond my limitations. The Amal team was with me every step of the way.

Stepping Stones

After her Fulbright, and work at Pakistan Microfinance, UN Women - NY, and Sanergy - Kenya, Sarah nurtured Amal liker her child and helped reach where it is today.

With 7 years of international experience, Laura joined us as an Acumen Fellow and helped Amal kick-start operations in the first years (i.e. HR, Admin, Finance)

Aigerim joined Amal right after her Masters through Fulbright and helped launch a Fellowship 2.0 with blended learning using Teachable online courses.

Adnan stayed with Amal starting all the way back in Batch 3. He helped manage alumni programs, ensuring stability in all aspects of fellowships.

Zaryab finds it difficult to stay away from her work. Having worked for 3 years, she has become the kick-starter for most team events and hangouts.

Awais fell in "love" with Amal in 2016 and has been returning ever since with his witty content, creativity, and compassion, helping set Amal's brand as an organisation.

Wajieha's ever-increasing love for education led her to Amal after her work at TFP. She has helped expand the fellowship access as a part of university curricula.

After working in textile, her inner calling brought her to TCF and then Amal. Nazish has set her own precedents for managing events (graduation, ambassadorship).

Joining Amal with years of HR experience, Ayub loved his fellowship experience and after transitioning, helped expand the fellowship beyond Lahore (FSD, Sukkur)

After working in Washington DC with Atlas Corps, Mehak undertook facilitation at Amal and made her mark with her wit and insights, refining Amal curriculum to present day.

The whole Amal Team holds education backgrounds from renowned institutes (LUMS, LSE, IBA, PU, UET, Notre Dame, Stanford, Ohio State) and a wide range of international experiences with a commitment to work for the learning and growth of our Amal fellows beyond the traditional scope of limitations.
