Shiraz, one of Pakistan's youngest and most popular YouTubers, along with his energetic sister Muskan, has turned his social media earnings into a force for change by modernizing the village school in his small village, Ghursay. Now called Zaki Academy, the school represents the power of compassion, community, and digital influence.
Shiraz rose to fame in early 2024 with his lighthearted vlogs about village life—fetching water, playing with goats, navigating rocky streets, and celebrating local festivals. His playful storytelling, infectious smile, and broken Urdu, often featuring Muskan, quickly won him millions of followers worldwide: 2.2 million on Instagram, 2.4 million on Facebook, and 1.8 million on YouTube.
Zaki Academy now provides spacious classrooms, safe learning environments, recreational areas, and proper educational resources, a first for the 2,000 residents of Ghursay.
