Rhythm and roots: Meet Kashif in Pakistan

Cultural heritage provides a sense of belonging and continuity, connecting people with their past, and shaping their future.

Hunza is a remote area, where job opportunities are scarce. This deeply impacts the future of young people — especially women. Meet Kashif, a young musician from Hunza, whose production company helps preserve local tradition and supports young people in exploring new skills and careers in music.


Kashif participated in AKFC’s Broadening Economic & Social Transformation for Women’s Economic Empowerment & Recovery program, supported by Global Affairs Canada.
