Corstorphine & Wright is proud to announce the continued partnership with Nyami Studio, reaffirming our commitment to their mission of empowering communities and facilitating sustainable development initiatives.

Led by two of our talented team members, Muneebah Shaheen and Froilan Palacio, alongside their co founder Neil Palmer, Nyami Studio has achieved remarkable success this year, delivering two transformative projects in Pakistan.

Their flagship scheme, the Nyami Noohani School, in Sindh Pakistan, has been a huge success. In this village, where essential resources like running water and electricity are scarce, the school represents a beacon of hope and a catalyst for community-driven progress. This project is part of a broader vision led by the Heritage Foundation and Yasmeen Lari to create replicable educational models for underserved areas. Nyami’s approach prioritises local engagement, sustainability, and community empowerment.

Nyami describes the school as more than just a building. Its modular design allows other villages to replicate the model independently, while the construction process itself has focused on local capacity building. Villagers were actively involved, receiving training in construction techniques and project management. This not only created a vital place of learning in an area with no prior educational infrastructure but also generated jobs and fostered skills development. By empowering local communities to take ownership of the project, Nyami has laid the groundwork for long-term sustainability and meaningful transformation.

Our support for Nyami exemplifies a collaborative effort to drive positive social change. By extending our partnership for a second year, we aim to amplify their mission, leveraging our expertise and resources to support their transformative projects

We look forward to sharing updates on our ongoing collaboration as they embark on an exciting pipeline of initiatives in the year ahead. If you would like to learn more, visit their website to get in touch.

Our work is driven by the belief that empowering and uplifting communities creates a ripple effect of positive change, benefiting everyone and leaving a lasting impact for generations to come.

Its been a privilege to support Nyami over the past year and see firsthand the impact that their work has had. The building itself has been just part of a much wider ranging impact,  from empowering and upskilling the local community, to the opportunities it provides for our team at Corstorphine & Wright to get involved. Its been a great success so far and we look forward to being part of Nyami’s ongoing journey.
