About Sophiya

A Life Dedicated to Compassion

Mrs. Sophiya Warraich holds an MS in Applied Psychology and serves as Chairperson of the Almarah Foundation. Her mission was inspired by her father, Major (Retd.) Rasheed Warraich, who distributed food to daily-wage workers every evening — quietly, without recognition.

From 12 Apna Ghar shelter houses to TEDx stages and the UK Parliament, Sophiya has built a legacy of compassionate leadership that spans two continents.

"Every child deserves dignity, opportunity, and hope. My life's work is dedicated to making this belief a reality."
