Meet The Team
Mysha Baqar
co-FOUNDER
Mysha is currently an eighth grade student in California, United States of America. She moved to Karachi, Pakistan in 2017 and lived there for about two years. Mysha has been volunteering since the age of eight. The first time she volunteered was for the Malala foundation. She made posters and flyers to inform people about the cause and raise funds to help educate women. While in Karachi, Mysha took part in an initiative to help clean the beaches and raise hygiene awareness. At thirteen she moved back to California. Feeling an obligation to do something for the society she was leaving behind, Mysha got together with her sisters to launch “Woh Ehsaas,” an organization committed to the empowerment of underprivileged women.
