03 / WHY WE KEEP WALKING

In memory of Anees

One life.So many ways forward.

My Ascent was created in memory of Anees, the son of our founder, Fazlin. His memory lives at the heart of what we do: bringing young people together, opening up new experiences, and making space for them to discover their own strength.

A life remembered by helping other lives move forward.
