Testimonials
It was fun when I started giving my mentee topics to think on and then we both would discuss our opinions in the next meeting until he started giving me topics to think about - then it became exciting and challenging. We both have learnt so much together
Saad Idrees
Mentor
I feel lucky to be the mentor of a very intelligent girl. Her opinions on different topics are food for thought. Her ambitious nature and curiosity never cease to amaze me and it is a journey that continues to be enlightening for both of us

I believe that if you are privileged, then it becomes your duty to share it with the society. At Chishm we share the privilege of being educated with communities struggling for survival with the conviction that one day this would change their fate. On behalf of this institution I invite you all to join hands with us and create the wind of change
