“It’s been three months. Why doesn’t my child know the alphabet yet?”

Tanzeela hears this question often. As founder of Little Angels Daycare and ECD Centre in Gahkuch, Gilgit-Baltistan, she answers it with a different question: is your child happy coming here?

For Tanzeela, a child who walks in smiling is a child who is learning. Her centre nurtures minds, hearts, and health together, because children need more than letters to grow strong.

It all began in 2014 with just six children. She saw working mothers in Gahkuch struggling without reliable childcare and decided to fill the gap. Today, Little Angels cares for 90 to 100 children, creates jobs for women teachers, and helps parents better understand their little ones.

Her approach rests on a simple idea: parents, teachers, and children form a triangle. “If one side is missing, the triangle can’t stand.”

This is Proof of Possible.🕊️

Introducing: Proof of Possible🏔️

In 2021, Pakistan ranked 153rd out of 156 countries for gender equality. In Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral, isolation, restricted mobility, and a pandemic that wiped out jobs overnight made the odds even steeper for women.

But an entrepreneur can grow when the soil around her lets her. So the soil was changed: communities were engaged, skills and confidence were built, and doors to finance and markets were opened.

Now, the seeds have grown.

Proof of Possible is a series showcasing entrepreneurs from Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral who refused to accept the limits placed on them. From education to tech, they are creating jobs, lifting incomes, and proving what this region can become.

They didn’t wait for the odds to change. They changed them.

As we celebrate 10 years of Accelerate Prosperity, these stories are the ripple effect we’ve created together: one entrepreneur, one business, one community at a time.

Stay tuned for stories and more to come from the north!
