“Fifteen years in the field taught me that good development work begins not with solutions, but with genuine curiosity about people’s lives — especially the parts that resist easy explanation.”
~ Dr Qurrat ul Ain Faheem
Founder & Principal Consultant
Dr Qurrat ul Ain Faheem is a social anthropologist and development practitioner with a doctorate and over 15 years of field experience across South Asia, the Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa. She has worked with UNICEF, CARE International, ActionAid, Oxfam, IOM, and IRC — designing and leading research, evaluation, and community-centred programmes in public health, gender equity, livelihoods, and education.
She founded Anthropulse on a single conviction: that the gap between rigorous research and real-world impact is not inevitable. It is a design failure — one that anthropological thinking, applied with discipline, can close.
Every engagement begins the same way. Not with a framework. Not with assumptions. With listening.
Rigour from the field. Clarity for the work ahead.
