‘MilKar’ Pakistan recognized with youth excellence award at CAYA 2025
Pakistan’s largest volunteer network, ‘MilKar’, has won the Youth Excellence Award at the Commonwealth Asia Youth Alliance (CAYA) Summit 2025 in Islamabad.
This is yet another achievement for MilKar, a public welfare organization recognized for its efforts in connecting volunteers and organizations to create a better society.
Previously, MilKar has received prestigious national and global awards, including the Commonwealth Innovation Award and P@SHA’s “Best Community Service” Gold Award.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif presented the award to Ali Saif, the youngest member of the National Youth Council (NYC) and MilKar Impact Head & Founder of Climate Dost.
Ali Saif emphasized that youth play a crucial role in combating climate change. He pointed out that 70% of Pakistan’s population consists of young people, who have already planted over 100,000 trees and distributed 100,000 masks during the smog crisis.
As an eco-friendly youth activist, Saif shared that MilKar has recently installed numerous bird feeders and plans to expand this initiative nationwide by 2030. He urged people to adopt eco-friendly habits for a better future.
