There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled. There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don't you?

Welcome
On April 1st, 2008 I landed in Kabul, Afghanistan for the first time. I was prepared to spend three months in this beautiful country working as an intern at Roshan, Afghanistan's leading telecommunications provider. Fourteen months later I am still here at Roshan, now working as a Senior Public Relations Specialist. Since starting work here I've managed public relations for significant milestones such as the launch of BlackBerry service in Afghanistan, M-Paisa, mobile banking, and the first VIP Loyalty Program in Afghanistan.
Meaning "light" in Afghanistan’s two most widely spoken languages, Dari and Pashto, Roshan brings a promise of hope, development, and a brighter future for the people of Afghanistan.
Roshan is Afghanistan’s leading telecom operator, with coverage in over 230 cities and towns and approximately 3.5 million active subscribers. Roshan directly employs more than 1,100 people and provides indirect employment to more than 25,000 people. Since its inception 5 years ago, Roshan has invested almost US $400 million in Afghanistan and is the country’s single largest investor and tax payer. Roshan is deeply committed to Afghanistan’s reconstruction and socio-economic development. The Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development (AKFED), part of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), is a major shareholder of Roshan and promotes private initiatives and building economically sound enterprises in the developing world. Also owned in part by Monaco Telecom International (MTI) and TeliaSonera, Roshan brings international expertise to Afghanistan and is committed to the highest standards of network quality and coverage for the people of Afghanistan.

Hey Farah,
Great article. Any chance that Roshan will start a similar system to the Grameen Phone?

Hope you're well. Love reading your blog.
