Wali Rahmani: Activist, Motivational Speaker 

Wali Rahmani, at just 26 years old, is a lawyer, activist, and one of India's youngest social entrepreneurs. He is the founder of Umeed Global School, a residential institution dedicated to educating orphans, destitute, and underprivileged children.

Rahmani began his journey in public discourse at the age of 19, becoming the youngest Indian panelist to appear on national TV debates. Today, he is also a noted motivational speaker and a social media influencer with over a million followers.

In late 2023, Rahmani achieved a historic milestone by raising ₹7 crore in just seven days through crowdfunding for his school's construction. His campaign, which collected contributions of ₹100 each from lakhs of donors, showcased the trust he has earned through his honest and impactful work. In just seven months, the funds were utilized to successfully erect a state-of-the-art school building.

Rahmani’s philosophy is rooted in the belief that serving the community is not charity but a social duty. He aspires to nurture leaders from underprivileged sections of society, emphasizing that leadership is cultivated through character and actions. For Rahmani, education goes beyond academics—it is about "Tarbiyah" (character building).

Umeed Global School stands as a beacon of hope, bridging the educational gap between rich and poor. The school boasts an internationally recognized curriculum and has recently partnered with the World Trade Centre, Pune, to introduce STEM education.

Rahmani’s groundbreaking work has been featured in Times of India, The Telegraph, Indian Express, Brut India, Logical Indian, and other notable platforms, cementing his reputation as a changemaker committed to transforming lives through education.
