Growing and Climbing in Pakistan’s Mountain Communities With Zom Connection
This summer, I received support from INSEAD’s Hoffman Institute for Social Impact to complete an internship with the non-profit Zom Connection, facilitating projects to help grow outdoor sports in communities in Pakistan’s northern mountain regions. Pakistan is a destination for extreme skiers, mountaineers, and adventure travellers who seek out some of the world’s tallest and most rugged mountains. However, local participation in mountain sports is minimal, even in places with the ideal terrain.
