Ghalib Khalil

17-year-old activist in Pakistan

Ghalib Khalil is a 17-year-old from Pakistan.

In 2010, a few of Ghalib's beloved friends passed away and floods destroyed his country badly. Upset that there was no government support for the victims, Ghalib decided to take action by creating the Rescue Pakistan Youth Foundation.

Ghalib has been thanked by the victims, some of whom prayed for him with tears in their eyes. This gives him satisfaction and also motivates him to work more. He has been getting emails from people thanking him for what he is doing for the people of his country, and has been told at times that he has motivated them with his actions. Looking back to what it was and what it is now, Ghalib sees a major change in the areas, communities and people with whom he worked.
