The biggest change is always the shift in mindset.

In this episode of FranklinCovey Pakistan’s Story of Change for Leadership Icons, we explore the journey of Roshaneh Zafar, Founder of Kashf Foundation, a leader who didn’t just change lives through microfinance but transformed mindsets through the power of storytelling.

From theatre to award-winning television dramas, Roshaneh took on the socio-cultural challenges of Pakistan, boldly raising issues that are often kept in the shadows. Her productions have spotlighted the plight of women, sparked national conversations, influenced policy, and redefined what purposeful storytelling can achieve.

Kashf Foundation, a non-banking Finance Company, has empowered women by providing billions of rupees in loans, changing the lives of families across Pakistan, and proving how the microfinance lending model can transform lives.

This is a story of impact that goes far beyond numbers; it's about narratives that inspire change, financing that creates livelihoods, and a future shaped by empathy and awareness.
