Zeenat Ebrahim, a pharmacist by profession, volunteers at several organizations, all of which ultimately aim for the empowerment of her community in Durban, South Africa. She is currently active with two grassroots organizations, within which the programs center around youth social issues and youth empowerment, and include value-based teaching, skills development and fun activities such as sports days and ‘mini Olympics’, working with some of the most marginalized communities including children from informal settlements. Zeenat believes she is lucky to have been surrounded by people who are passionate about helping others in many different ways, and feels it is a privilege to be able to be of service to others. This is something that has helped direct many facets of who she is, from the workplace to her social circles.
