Shainoor Khoja: Telecommunity Leader

INTERVIEW by LAUREN SHUFFLETON

So often it is big corporations that are the enemy when it comes to solving problems for our communities. The telecommunications company Roshan, however, has demonstrated through its work in Afghanistan that for-profit businesses can make massive improvements in everything from the country’s technological infrastructure to a rurally-based woman’s daily life. The leading cellular service provider in Afghanistan, Roshan provides thousands of jobs to Afghan citizens and reinvests its profits back into the country, investing hundreds of millions of dollars since 2003. I chatted with Shainoor Khoja, who is the managing director of Roshan’s non-profit, community-focused component.
