In 2024, we held our first partner meeting at our pilot school. I wanted to show them our actual impact: with zero funding, our team had already helped 150 village students improve their English, STEM, and leadership skills. What followed was a tough, four-hour debate with the Amanat Party and local business leaders about why we needed funding NOW. It was an exhausting conversation, but I kept pushing for one reason. This isn't about personal ambition. It’s about fighting to give 1,000 village students equal access to education. No student should ever be left behind just because of where they live.
