Afridi said that the foundation has been working for the past 3 years to promote sports and to empower youth in Pakistan, especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
They have also been working towards promoting gender equality and women empowerment.
After partnership with UNIC, we hope to work even with more passion and dedication towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in Pakistan, he said.
