He holds a Master’s degree in Political Science from University of Balochistan with years of experience in community development and campaigning around critical social issues. Khalil Roonjah is a well-recognized activist in his native Balochistan. As an active young leader, he is playing very important role both at ground and institutional level in uplifting human development around his area of work.

He has been helping his local organization WANG with the support of British Council to run a mass level campaign under the idea of “Parhega Lasbela Barhega Lasbela” which has contributed amazingly and has been recognized at local and national platforms.
