Zainab received the honour as a result of her involvement in London 2012’s international sports legacy programme, International Inspiration, through her Nasra Trust School and the British Council. The programme seeks to enrich the lives of millions of young people, particularly in developing countries, by using the power of sport. Organisations like the British Council, UNICEF UK, UK Sport and the British Olympic Association and British Paralympic Association partnered together to fund the programme and turn the idea into reality and fulfill the dreams of aspiring youth.
The 14-year-old is amongst a group of 20 young people from 20 different countries involved in International Inspiration, who will take part in the London 2012 Olympic torch relay in Nottingham on June 28.
