Every woman’s journey is honoured, and empowerment is lived in its purest form.

Richmond Institute proudly celebrates women empowerment in its truest essence through the She Leads initiative—honouring women from all walks of life who are shaping our world with resilience, wisdom, and heart

I pay tribute through this heartfelt poem "Pillars in Silence"

She rises with the morning sun,
A warrior’s grace in battles won.
With hands that heal and hearts that know,
She plants her seeds and helps them grow.

In every role, she stands so tall—
A mother, friend, a guide through all.
Through storms, she bends, yet will not break,
A quiet force for others’ sake.

Her strength is soft, her voice is clear,
She holds the world year after year.
Not just in one, but in many a part,
She carries life within her heart.

So here’s to her—each stride, each scar,
A blazing soul, a northern star.
For in her rise, we all ascend,
A woman strong—our own best friend.

Gratitude to Dr. Asif and Dr. Zaffar for their unwavering support and to the dynamic young women of Richmond Institute whose passion and drive light up the path forward. The future of empowered women is already here—and it shines bright.

Attending the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) training organized by Sadia Atif at UMT was incredibly insightful. I learned how to effectively use visual support to enhance communication for individuals with diverse needs. The hands-on activities and real-life examples made the concepts practical and engaging. Trainer Andy Yates' expertise and encouragement fostered a supportive environment, allowing us to explore various strategies. Overall, it was a valuable experience that deepened my understanding of communication techniques and their impact on learning.
