Rabia Ashiq is a shining star of CARE Foundation.
As a student at a CARE adopted government school, Rabia always excelled at sports. Rabia was discouraged by her family from participating in sports, but her passion made her persist against all odds. With the support of her teachers, she maintained a rigorous training schedule throughout school and qualified for a number of national and international competitions. In 2012, the Olympics Committee selected her as a wild card entry to the 800-meter race and she became one of the only two women from Pakistan to participate in the 2012 Olympics. Till date, she has won a total of 52 gold medals and set two national records.
Countdown to Women's Day!
