PESHAWAR: Sania Hasnain, a fashion designer from Sadda in Kurram tribal district, is working tirelessly to empower housebound young women in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Despite her own physical challenges, she travels daily by foot to teach practical skills to these underprivileged girls. With six years of experience in fashion design, Hasnain aims to share her technical knowledge and help these young women achieve financial independence.
She stresses the importance of giving these special girls access to education and vocational skills so they can support themselves. Hasnain plans to establish a permanent vocational centre, expand her network, and launch an independent artisan brand managed by her students. Her ultimate goal is to create an inclusive production hub where disabled and housebound women can create and market their own fashion collections, contributing to the national economy.
