In Their Own Words
Where They Are Now
“The Foundation helped me every step of the way — guiding me through the SEEU application, the visa process, and the move from Pakistan to Europe on my own. Today I'm the founder of WorkGlobally, a recruitment agency connecting workers from Asia and Africa with jobs across Europe.”
