What if your rooftop could become a space for connection, creativity, and community again?
@Sameer Ali Khan, @Accountability Lab Pakistan’s Civic Charge Fellow and founder of @Collective Pakistan, is reimagining exactly that through Chaht Bethak (چھت بیٹھک): a simple yet powerful... idea where communities host small gatherings on their rooftops.
