In this episode, Noor Rehman opens up about his journey from childhood experiences that shaped his deep commitment to protecting children, to his current role as Regional Coordinator for South Asia at the Joint Learning Initiative on Faith and Local Communities (JLI). Noor reflects on how growing up in an environment where discipline sometimes came through physical punishment sparked his lifelong dedication to safeguarding children and preventing violence.   Maurice and Noor explore Noor’s work with the Faith and Positive Change for Children, Families, and Communities (FPCC) initiative, a collaboration between JLI, UNICEF, and Religions for Peace. Noor shares stories of how local faith leaders and communities come together to promote child protection, adolescent well-being, and climate resilience. He highlights the vital role of trust-building, listening, and culturally sensitive approaches in creating lasting social and behavioral change.   With over 12 years at Islamic Relief Pakistan before joining JLI, Noor brings experience in child welfare, WASH, education, and emergency response. This episode offers an inspiring and deeply personal conversation about how faith and collaboration can transform the lives of children and families across South Asia.   Listener Engagement: Discover the song picked by Noor and other guests on our #walktalklisten here.
