About us
Our Mission
To leave a lasting imprint on the way social change is imagined, strategised, and implemented by centering justice, care, lived experience, and community-led solutions.
Farwah is a program strategist and storyteller working at the intersection of justice, identity, and change. Shve has designed and led climate and social justice, and interfaith initiatives across multiple countries, with partners such as COP28 and the Muslim World League.
A justice advocate at her core, Farwah co-convened the world’s first global interfaith climate fellowship with Duke University. She developed a decolonial, feminist framework for women’s climate leadership, which was adopted by Harvard University as the program’s host institution.
Farwah continues to connect the Global South to international women-led initiatives as a member of several prominent movements such as Women, Faith, and Climate Network, Lead Integrity, and Project Dandelion.
She guides Naqsh’s work with imagination and intentionality. For her, justice is not only an outcome, but a way of being
A SPARK. A VOICE OF CONSCIENCE. OUR DREAMER.
