Programs working in Hunza and the youth of Hunza



Hunza is the land of whispering hills and great mountains .It has straight roads , restaurants  ,banks , hospitals , NGOS and every facility available in cities .In 1960 Hunza was too backward ,  it neither had hospitals nor
had good infrastructure , but then a great revolution and a sudden change came which has completely changed the face of Hunza .The credit goes to the people of Hunza .Literally hats off to the people of Hunza who 
changed the shape of Hunza in a very short time …..By their dedication and hard work they have reached the 
pinnacles of success .In addition , some credit also goes to the tourists who were a source of foreign exchange .




There are some organizations working in Hunza which have played a pivotal role in the rapid development of 
the area as well as has increased the standard of living of the people …
For example there is Aga Khan Higher Secondary School which is the  well-known  and premier institution of 
the region , there is AKRSP (Aga Khan Rural Support Program) which arranges different projects for the 
nurturing of the people  , AKTC is restoring forts and many other historical places . In all , AKDN(Aga Khan 
Network ) is working actively for the betterment of people...



The youth of Hunza is quite active and agile .They not only give preference  to education rather give equal 
importance to sports .Many  Hunzai  are excellent players of different sports example cricket , volley ball , 
badminton , football etc .They are good actors , orators , public speakers , singers and many more …


The most exciting thing about Hunza is that it does not have beggars and impoverished people 
....Though there may be some people who have financial constraints even then cannot  compromise 
their self respect and work hard
