children’s rights champion/Entrepreneur
Arlington, VA | PathNorth member since 2019
Fatima Arabzada’s career started at a young age and spanned from the streets of Afghanistan to high rises in the United States.
An early champion for children’s rights, Fatima's first venture involved creating radio programs for children - reaching an audience of millions in Afghanistan when she was only 12 years old. Not a year later, she would also publish a monthly magazine with children’s entertainment content promoting women's rights.
Teaching herself English, Fatima attended Texas Military Institute and United World College (IB) for high school. Afterward, she received a BA in Economics and International Relations from Bucknell University.
Fatima works at Deloitte. She feeds her entrepreneurial spirit as a board member of a non-profit and plans to start another business in the near future. She will attend MIT for MBA this fall. Her firsthand insights on developing countries remain invaluable and drive her to outperform her peers. Fatima seeks to cultivate proactive approaches to life’s challenges – empowering people with innovative solutions.
