The oldest of five siblings, Aiman Rahman grew up in a small village in Malakand, Pakistan, where most girls do not go to school beyond the age of 11.

Her hard work and her father’s unwavering support allowed her to defy the odds. She completed secondary school with a near perfect academic record and, in the face of immense societal pressure, gained admission to JiuJiang University, China, to study medicine.

She became fluent in Mandarin and completed 5 semesters of a 12-semester MBBS program when her dream of becoming a doctor was put in jeopardy.

Early in 2025, her father’s small business collapsed due to abrupt changes in government policy, plunging their family into debt and poverty. Forced to find work in a mine under bonded labour conditions, he could no longer afford her tuition and living expenses.

Sab Saath raised over PKR 2 million for Aiman last year, which paid for her tuition, hostel, and food. Your generous donations ensured that this extraordinary young girl could stay in university for another year. She now has only two more to go.
We are asking you to help us secure her education for another year, because this is about so much more than ensuring the future of a single girl child, where we fail so many.

Aiman is a dedicated student excelling in a highly demanding academic environment, with ambitions that go beyond personal success. She is aware of the shortage of female doctors in her community and the impact this has on women and girls. She plans to return to Malakand as a doctor to provide essential healthcare and hopes her journey will encourage families to support girls’ education beyond traditional limits.

Supporting her is not just about changing one life—it is about investing in the future of an entire community and creating opportunities for countless young girls to dream bigger and go further.

Your contribution will not only ensure that Aiman completes her education, it will transform a family’s circumstances and open the doors to a bright future for many thousands of girls like her.
