Student Entrepreneurs Awarded $1 Million To Empower Refugees In South Asia
The Roshni Rides team is made up of recent Rutgers University graduates Hanaa Lakhani, Moneed Mian and Hasan Usmani, as well as CEO Gia Farooqi, who is on track to graduate from Rutgers later this year. All four plan to relocate to southern Pakistan, Asia’s leading host country of refugees, so they can use their award money to bring the business to life as soon as possible. They intend to return to Orangi Town, where they conducted field research over the summer.
