Hamza Bilal hails from District Mansehra, Khyber Paktunkhwa. He holds a Master’s degree in International Relations from Hazara University, Mansehra. He is an education activist and social sector professional. Right from the start, Hamza loved to serve humanity in every capacity. He is a member of several welfare societies at local level including blood donor societies and he is also a volunteer of Pakistan Red Crescent Society, district Mansehra. Hamza has 11 years of working experience. He served the victims of deadly earthquake of 2005 as volunteer and later on he joined a humanitarian organization “MSF-France” which was providing medical relief to the injured of earthquake. Since then Hamza has worked with different national and international organizations in different capacities and in different parts of the country. Hamza has worked with MSF-France, ICSOS-CISL, World Vision International, American Red Cross, Haashar Association, Pak Rural Development Program (PRDP), Oghi Development Organization (ODO), Save the Children International and last but not the least Coffey International Development Ltd. Hamza has worked in different projects including education, Mother and Child Health Care (MCH), Food Security and Livelihoods, emergency relief (Food and Non-Food Items), Cash for Work (CFW), Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH) and Rule of Law. He is very passionate about quantitative research and has good knowledge of quantitative data analysis in excel and SPSS. In December 2016, Hamza got the opportunity to work for the cause of education with Alif Ailaan. As he also remained the victim of the inefficient education system of the country, he feels grateful to be given the opportunity to work for the improvement of education system in Pakistan. Hamza feels an inner satisfaction and peace of mind in working for the underprivileged and deprived children of the country. Hamza believes that putting your efforts for the provision of quality education to the children is a Sadqa e Jariyah and it is enough for one’s forgiveness (Maghfirat). Hamza invites others as well who are looking for peace of mind. He strongly believes that it is the responsibility of everyone to demand better education for our children.

Surriya Manzoor is the Regional Campaign Organizer in Gujranwala Region since last four years. She began her journey by contesting elections at Union Council level and for that launched a door to door campaign. Being a female with no previous work and political background, her own family resisted initially due to social taboos associated with working women, however, being persistent paid off and she successfully changed the mindsets of her family and people around her. She continued her political journey and was elected as City Councilor. Having taken experience of working for the people she struggled her way through and in collaboration with Aurat Foundation secured funding of PKR 600,000 from the district government for the development of school in her locality and marriage of 30 underprivileged couples. She started a project with SPO to provide CNICs to women and register them as voters for the election. Currently, she is working with Alif Ailaan to help sensitize people about issues regarding educations such as enrolment, infrastructure, missing facilities, shortage of teachers and quality of maths and science education in government schools. Success stories: To her credit, she along with the help of local communities reclaimed a girl’s high school building by holding protests with teachers and student. Due to media coverage, notice was taken by CM Punjab and direct orders were issued for non-school related departments to evacuate the premises. Secondly, she successfully established SMC committees involving teachers and parents for utilization of non-salary related budget in schools.
