Saq Imtiaz

As UnaMesa's Director of Health and Education projects, Saqib Imtiaz (Saq) brings together technological innovation and committed educators, NGO's and other interested parties, to address the shortcomings in availability and accessibility of quality education. He is driven by the belief that better education and healthcare is the key to alleviating suffering and improving the human condition, and that, given the necessary tools and infrastructure, technology can play a significant role in this area.

Greg Wolff, President and founder of UnaMesa, says of Saq, "I personally have been very pleased with the tremendous energy that Saq has brought to UnaMesa. It has been a pleasure to have his vision as not only a part of UnaMesa's projects but as part of UnaMesa itself. He's renewed my enthusiasm for driving this approach of supporting social enterprise."

Saq's focus at UnaMesa:

• The use and development of technological tools and sustainable infrastructure to improve the overall quality of education and health-care.
• New distance-learning methods to provide up-to-date and quality education in under-served regions.
• Creation of a network of people committed to social change via education.
• Creating opportunities for everyone to participate in UnaMesa's efforts, regardless of background, expertise or resources.
• Development of an educational commons that will include course curriculum and associated tools.
