Welcome to Lighthouse South Asia

Lighthouse South Asia brings together storytellers from across the region to explore themes of gender, equality, and social impact.

What is Lighthouse South Asia?

Lighthouse South Asia is a warm, welcoming space for stories that reflect the heart of our region—stories of love, resilience, hope, and everything in between. We’re here to cheer on writers, poets, and changemakers as they find their voice. Through fresh, creative storytelling, we celebrate local voices and spark lasting, positive change across South Asia.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to spreading the message of friendship and unity with narratives which inspire change in South Asia. We wish to motivate our storytellers to bring forward impactful writings and campaigns that hold communal importance, sparking uplifting talks and hopes for peace; all the while shedding light on the positive growth of our South Asian communities and showcasing their voices on our platform.

We aim to provide a space for those unsung writings and media that do not garner the deserved attention, but dream to be portrayed as a part of the mosaic of voices present in the vast continent. We stand as a symbol for advocating peace and love in South Asia, an instigator of revisioning the potential of stories for good.

‘Beyond the Borders’ : Indo-Pak Storytelling

Lighthouse South Asia launched ‘Beyond the Borders – An Indo-Pak Campaign’ to celebrate heartwarming stories from India and Pakistan. Despite political divides, the people share deep bonds of culture, love, and hope. Through modern storytelling, we aim to highlight these connections and foster narratives of peace, friendship, and shared humanity that transcend borders.

Meet the Team!

Shravani is a Melton Fellow, Student pursuing her undergrad in Computer Science Engineering in India. As much as she loves to learn and imbibe new features of growing technology in various aspects of her everyday life, learning new skills and working towards giving back to society is her guilty-free pleasure. That’s how Shravani stumbled upon Lighthouse. Working at Lighthouse Shravani believes that every single day there is something new to explore, learn and grow with. “Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it. -Hannah Arendt.” At Lighthouse, we hope to spread powerful narratives through a key tool – Storytelling. Storytelling helps us express emotions without defining it. We hope to make a platform to cherish this artform in its purest avatar, the materialization of a thought from a person’s mind to the physical world.

Digital Media & Campaign Head South Asia
I’m Sara Hassan, a student and storyteller from Lahore, Pakistan. I first contributed to Lighthouse as a writer for their Global Mini story competition, aimed at bridging cultural gaps. After being shortlisted in the top 25 authors, I got to know more about the organization and it’s goals for igniting change through various forms of storytelling, and I knew I had to be part of this incredible team! Today, my work includes working behind the scenes at Lighthouse South Asia. I am now one of the heads of our newest project ‘Beyond the Borders- an Indo-Pak campaign’ and I am excited to bring you these unique stories from India and Pakistan!
