The student leader who started it all
Founder & President
Grade 9 Student Leader
Jawad is a Grade 9 student with a strong interest in health education, community service, and student leadership. He founded this initiative to promote health awareness, support mental well-being, and encourage youth-led community engagement through practical, age-appropriate programs.
Jawad is particularly interested in how early education, prevention, and advocacy contribute to healthier communities. He believes that young people have the power to create meaningful change when given the opportunity to lead with purpose and empathy.
"I believe that health education shouldn't wait until adulthood. By starting early and empowering students to take action, we can create a generation that prioritizes wellness, supports each other, and makes informed decisions about their health."
— Jawad Anwar, Founder & President
Student leaders committed to making health and wellness accessible to all
SHWI operates with a clear hierarchical structure that enables efficient delegation and collaboration. Our founder sets the vision and oversees all operations, while coordinators manage specific program areas and report directly to leadership.
This structure ensures accountability, provides clear pathways for growth, and allows us to scale our impact as we recruit more team members. Every role is designed to develop leadership, management, and communication skills.
