Why join the S8+1 Network?

“I joined SA8+1 because I wanted to be part of something bigger than myself a regional family of young leaders who believe in peace, unity, and opportunities for every youth in South Asia. Through SA8+1, I found a space where my voice matters, where ideas turn into action, and where we uplift each other across borders. SA8+1 gave me confidence, purpose, and a community I am proud to represent.”
