MY FUTURE
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Mustaqbali is an HDF field experience powered by Khayal, created for children across the communities HDF serves.
From orphanages and community centers to camps and HDF field programs, children are invited to share what they dream of becoming, then see themselves as doctors, astronauts, pilots, athletes, engineers and more through a live AI experience.
It’s a simple moment designed to give children space to imagine, explore and see possibility come alive in front of them.
