In Loving Memory of
Afrah Alam (2000–2025)

Born: 7 January 2000 Passed: 16 December 2025

Afrah Alam was a symbol of courage, grace, and quiet strength. A young graduate full of dreams, she faced life's toughest battle against blood cancer with resilience and dignity.

Afrah Foundation was born from this profound loss — founded by Mr. Mohammad Maquesood Alam and family to transform grief into a mission of hope, empowerment, and social change.

"Her life inspires us to bring light into the lives of others."
